INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 – UNPACK THE AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install an air conditioner. Failure to do
so can result in back or other injury. Remove packaging materials. Save the
carton and the foam packaging for storing the air conditioner when not in use.
NOTE: There are NO packing materials inside the air conditioner to
remove—Do Not open the cabinet. Properly dispose of/recycle all packing
materials. Handle the air conditioner gently. Keep the air conditioner upright
and level. Do not set the air conditioner on its side, front, back, or upside
down.
STEP 2 – TWIST THE EXHAUST HOSE CONNECTOR ONTO EXHAUST HOSE
Grasp both ends of the exhaust hose and gently pull to expand the hose.
NOTE: Do not attach additional hoses to extend the length. This would
decrease cooling efficiency and may damage the air conditioner. Using a
counterclockwise motion, attach the open end of the exhaust hose to the
exhaust nozzle.
STEP 3 – CONNECT EXHAUST HOSE TO THE AIR CONDITIONER
IMPORTANT: When connecting the hose, the air conditioner must be close
enough to the window that you will not dislodge the window seal plate. Once
the hose is connected, move the air conditioner 20” (51 cm) from the wall.
- Slide the exhaust hose assembly from the outer air outlet to the right.
- The assembly is completed until the convex point of the inner joint and the concave point of the air outlet are stuck.
STEP 4 – INSTALL WINDOW PANELS
Depending on the size of your window opening, use the main panel and one or
both of the extension panels. Open the window and place the main window panel
into the window.
NOTE : The window assembly is designed to accommodate either a vertical slide or a horizontal slide window. Take out the butterfly nut from the user manual’s bag, and disassemble the screws in the following directions.
Lock the butterfly nut on panel A, and do not lock the butterfly nut tightly, keeping the spacing of 0.01 inch (2.5mm).
Connect with panel B, and adjust the panel(s) to the width or height of the window as shown. Fasten the butterfly nut to fix the window slide set.
STEP 5 – COMPLETE INSTALLATION
Close the window as far as the window slide set, so this covers the window
opening completely. Place the device at least 19.7 inches (50cm) away from
walls and other objects.
NOTE:
Some window installations may require the extension panels to be trimmed.
Slide the adapter downwards and ensure the adapter is installed in a good
position. Assure the slant panel direction to match the seal-plate direction.
The exhaust hose cannot be bent or with flexure higher than 45°, in order to
keep good ventilation of the exhaust hose.

Safety Protections
-
Water-full safety alarm and shut–off protection function
When the water volume exceeds its alarm level in the chassis, the warning sounds automatically and the water-full icon will light on the display, you need to drain the water and restart the unit. (For more information about how to drain, refer to the “Drainage Instruction” please). If the unit is not shut down manually, the unit will recover to the original operating status automatically once the water is fully drained. Or connect the power to restart the unit again. -
Anti-frozen protection function (Optional)
Under COOLING mode, when the compressor continuously runs over 10 minutes, if tube temperature is ≤2 °C /36 °F for 20 seconds, the anti-frozen protection function will be on, E4 will be shown on LED display, compressor and water wheel motor will stop working, but upper fan remains running; If tube temperature ≥8 °C /46 °F, the unit will stop anti-frozen protection and recover to the original working condition. A compressor will restart working with 3 3-minute delay for protection. -
Delay protection function of a compressor
This unit offers restart protection to the compressor. Except that the compressor may start immediately when the unit is energized first time, there is a 3-minute delay in re-start protection after the compressor is shut down.
4. Coil and room temperature sensor failure: -
Detect sensor failure at the beginning of the power-on or power-on state.
-
When a sensor failure is detected at the beginning of the power-on, it will immediately enter the failure state. If it returns to normal at this time, it will enter the standby state
AIR CONDITIONER USE
IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its side, wait 24
hours before turning on the air conditioner to allow the oil to return to the
compressor. This will prevent the air conditioner from failing prematurely.
Hold handles on side panels to move the unit in an upright position.
NOTE:
- Do not hold the louver.
- Make the unit in the upright position whether handling or moving it.
- Drain the water in the unit completely to prevent water leakage and wet the floor or carpet before handling or moving the unit.
