Description

The Outdoor Air Conditioner (OAC) is a portable appliance that can be used outdoors. The OAC pulls ambient air through the Air Intake Screen, circulates it through the compressor and blows out cool air through the Cooling Air Hose. The Cooling Air Hose is flexible, can be rotated 360 degrees and can be positioned to blow to a desired area. The Control Panel at the top of the OAC is used to select low or high fan speed to regulate the cool air flow.
Hot air is exhausted through the back of the unit. Condensate is collected in a Water Tank below the unit or can be discharged directly to a designated area.
For ease of moving the portable OAC, there is a convenient Recessed Handle and four Casters.

Assembly

The Outdoor Air Conditioner (OAC) is easy to use and requires only a few quick steps to assemble the parts. Most of the appliance is already assembled and only requires the Air Cooling
Hose to be attached to the main unit.

Attach the Elbow to the Elbow Base by turning counter-clockwise.
When firmly installed there will be a click.
Attach the Cooling Air Hose to the other end of the Elbow by turning counter- clockwise.

Placement

The OAC is designed for outdoor use and is portable.
The compact size and casters enable it to be moved easily.
When moving the OAC do not tilt it more than 45 degrees.
Place the appliance away from sources of heat and high humidity.
Place the OAC in a covered area to protect from direct sunlight and heavy rainfall for greater longevity.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the OAC. The Air Intake Screen and Cooling Air Hose should be more than 1 foot (30 cm) away from walls or other obstructions. The vent exhausting the hot air should be 3 feet (90 cm) from any object or structure.
Place the OAC on a flat level surface and lock the casters.

Water Tank and Drainage Hose
In the course of operating the OAC, condensate water is produced. The water can either be collected in the Water Tank or can be discharged directly outdoors through a Drainage Hose included with the unit.

Water Tank
The Water Tank is located at the bottom of the OAC. It is important to empty the tank in a timely manner. Check the water level every 2-3 days. Turn the power off before emptying the Water Tank. Remove the Water Tank, discard the water and then replace it again before turning the OAC on. Do not move the OAC when it is full of water.

Drainage Hose
Remove the Water Tank.
Attach the Drainage Hose directly onto the outlet where it enters the Water Tank cavity. The Hose can be held in place with the Hose Clip provided.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw on the Hose Clip. This will keep the Drainage Hose secured.

Operation

Check the plug and cable before connecting the power and ensure it is 110 voltage.

Press the Power Button to turn the OAC on.
Press the COOL Icon to exhaust cool air, the screen will show
“L”(Low). Press again to adjust speed. It will show “H” (High).
The indicator light above it will illuminate.

Press the HEAT icon to exhaust hot air, the screen will show
“L”(Low). Press again to adjust speed. It will show “H” (High).
The indicator light above it will illuminate.

Press the AIR icon to exhaust ambient air, the screen will show
“L”(Low). Press again to adjust speed. It will show “H” (High).
The indicator light above it will illuminate.

Press the TIMER icon to set a time for the unit to operate.
The indicator light above it will illuminate.
Each time the icon is pressed the time increases in one-hour increments, and it is shown on the Display Panel.

About Icons
L: Low speed, default is “L’
H: High speed
00-12: “OO” means without any timer setting, default is “OO”. “O01, 02, 03…12” means timer hours, Hour, 2hours, 3hours…12hours

Functions:

  1. Power-off memory function:
    The machine will remember the settings before a power failure. When power comes back on, OAC will automatically start and work based on the settings before the power failure.

  2. 12 hours safety shutdown function:
    The machine will shut down automatically after continuously working for 12 hours, in order to prevent overheating.

  3. Compressor 3 minutes delay protection:
    When restarting “COOL” mode, the compressor needs 3 minutes to restart. The “COOL” indicator light will flash until the compressor restarts running.
    The Cooling Air Hose can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing for maximum flexibility in positioning the flow and direction of cool air. After turning off the OAC, wait 5 minutes before turning it on again. It cannot be turned on immediately. The OAC is equipped with overheat and overload protection for the compressor. If the compressor overheats because of voltage fluctuations or high ambient temperature, the compressor power supply shuts off and the OAC will blow only ambient air.

Maintenance

Make sure the power cord is unplugged before  moving or cleaning the OAC. Clean the outside and inside of the appliance regularly, using water and mild detergent. Remove the filter by pulling straight out from the slot. Clean/wash the filter. Before reinstalling, should be completely dry. Before storing for an extended time:

  • Empty the Water Tank and let it dry completely.
  • Once dry, cover the OAC and store in an upright position.
