USER TIPS

Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser and evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is dehumidified and cooled while a flexible hose sends heat outside. The Portable Air Conditioner includes a window venting kit. No permanent installation is needed. The unit is easy to move from room to room and offers a truly flexible air conditioning solution. Auto Evaporation System – The unit automatically evaporates the condensate through the hose. There is no need to empty the drainage tank except in humid conditions. Read and follow the instructions carefully. To ensure optimal efficiency of the product, keep doors and windows closed when it is used as an air conditioner or dehumidifier. If the product is being used with the fan function only, an open window could improve air circulation.

Important:
Before installing the unit, place it UPRIGHT for 1 hour before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize. Air outlet automatically opens when the unit is turned on, and automatically closes when the unit is turned off. Manually adjust the air vent located at the top of the unit to adjust the direction of air flow.

• Follow installation instructions to set up the unit.
• Plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit. DO NOT plug into an extension cord.
