Welcome to the TOSOT Direct Family!
We’re extremely happy to welcome you as a new member of our family! Please
read the tips below before using your product for the first time.
1. The portable air conditioner is a heavy object, which needs two or more people
to lift and install. Failure to do so could result in injury or other accidents.
2. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 3-4 hours before powering on. Shipping
carriers may set the unit on its side, which causes the refrigerant to pool in
certain areas. Standing the unit upright for 3-4 hours allows the refrigerant to
move freely within the coils.
3. Some parts with sharp edges may cause injury, so gloves are highly recommended
for unpacking and installing.
4. Run the unit continuously for 24 hours after letting the unit stand upright for 3-4
hours. This allows the unit to work out any “kinks” that may have resulted during
shipping from our factory to your doorstep.
5. For a quick start video guide of installation, please contact Customer Support.
6. If you have any problems with your product, please send us an email before
submitting a return request, as there might be a simple solution for your issue.

01
Installation and Setup
Please read all instructions before use and save this user manual for future
reference. A digital version can be obtained from Customer Support.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us. We have provided
many important safety messages throughout this manual and on the appliance
itself. Always read and follow all posted safety messages.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or death to persons using or near
this appliance, please follow some basic safety precautions. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
● This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with
reduced or restricted physical, mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless under the direct supervision of a person
responsible for their safety.
● Please keep plastic bags and sheets out of the reach of children as they might
be mistakenly used for play. Packaging materials can become airtight chambers
and may pose a risk of suffocation if not disposed of properly.
● When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or
damage the power cord.
● Never attempt to operate this appliance if it visibly damaged, malfunctioning,
disassembled or has missing or broken parts. This includes exposed wiring on
a damaged cord or electrical plugin. All repairs and servicing must be performed
by qualified service personnel. Use only authorized TOSOT factory OEM parts.
● Keep the product away from fire. Do not store or use flammable gases or
materials near the appliance.
● Do not use heating equipment near the appliance.
● In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.) do not operate this or any
other appliance. Open a window or door to ventilate the area immediately.

02
● Only use the appliance in an upright position. Make sure the angle of inclination
<10°. Always place the appliance on a stable, flat, level surface to prevent the
air conditioner from overturning.
Electrical Safety Warning
● If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized technical service center in order to avoid all risk.
● Do not damage, alter, excessively bend, twist, pull or heat the power cord.
● Do not cover the power cord with a rug or carpeting.
● Do not rest hot or heavy objects on the appliance and power cord.
● Always plug into a fixed 115V AC ground outlet.
● Never plug or unplug the appliance with wet hands.
● Push the power plug all the way into the wall outlet so that it will not loose.
● Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet when taking it out.
● Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord.
● Never use the appliance if the outlet is damaged or loose.
● This product should be plugged directly into a power outlet. Power outlets should
be properly rated, protected, and sized in order to avoid electrical overload.
● Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
● Always unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning or maintenance operations.
● Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or not protected by
a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
wall power receptacle before using this appliance.
● Be sure that the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
● Do not run the air conditioner without the plastic shell in place. This could result
in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
