USER TIPS
Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The
compressor, condenser and evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is
filtered, dehumidified and cooled while a flexible air outlet hose sends heat
outside. The 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 air outlet hose. There is no need to empty the drainage tank
except in very 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.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
- Do not replace or lengthen the exhaust hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
WARNING : Any warranties included with this product will be voided if an extra extension hose is added to the originally provided installation kit or if the installation is performed differently than the manufacturer’s instructions, without proper consultation. Please contact Customer Support for help with installation procedures if needed.
- The supplied exhaust hose has a diameter of 5 inches (12.7cm) and can be extended from 12 inches to 47 inches (30cm to 120cm).
- Do not bend (to the extent shown below) the exhaust hose. A bent hose will block exhaust air and cause the unit to malfunction or shut-off.
- Make sure the back of the unit is at least 50 cm / 20 inches away from the wall. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.
