INDEX

Read all instructions carefully before setting up and operating the unit. Keep this instruction manual for future reference. This manual is designed to provide important information needed to setup, operate, maintain and troubleshoot your portable air conditioner. Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.

THANK YOU

Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner.
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 high humidity conditions. Read and follow the instructions carefully.

USER TIPS

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.

Cooling and Dehumidifying Operation
Fan Operation

Important : Before installing the unit, place it UPRIGHT for 20 minutes before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize.

Follow installation instructions to set up the unit.
Plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit.

INSTALLATION

Install the plastic hose with window bracket adapter and hose connector on both sides. Ensure proper fit on both ends.
Adjust the window bracket as per width or height of your window and insert the plastic pins to fix at the desired position.

Note : Do not install the window bracket to your window. This step is required only to adjust it to the size of your window. The bracket should be removed from the window after the size is adjusted.
Connect the plastic hose to the hose connector on back of the unit. Push-in then rotate clockwise.
Connect the window bracket to the opposite end of the plastic hose. Ensure that all connections are tight and installed properly.
Connect the window bracket to the window.
The Portable Air Conditioner is now ready to use.

Note:

The supplied exhaust hose can be extended from 12 inches (1 foot) to 47 inches (3.9 feet).
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.

Warning:

The length of the exhaust hose is determined by the product specifications. Do not replace or lengthen it as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
Make sure the back of the unit is at least 20 inches away from a wall. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.

USE & OPERATION

Touch Screen Control Panel

Power Control
The Power Control turns the unit on and off.
Mode Control
3 settings: Cool, Dehumidify and Fan A light will indicate which setting is currently being used.

Cooling Mode
The unit works as an air conditioner. Adjust fan speed and air temperature to suit your desired comfort level. Temperature setting range is 61°F ~ 89°F

Dehumidifying Mode
Air is dehumidified as it passes through the unit, without being in full cooling mode. If room temperature is higher than 77°F fan speed can be adjusted; otherwise fan speed is preset “LOW”.
Note : If the unit will be used mainly as a dehumidifier, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm air return in the room. Continuous drainage is then necessary and more efficient (refer page 14, Continuous Draining).
Fan Mode
For air circulation without cooling.

Fan Speed Control
3 settings: High, Medium and Low.
Timer Control
Auto turn off:
With machine in running mode, press timer button to select the number of hours you want the unit to run in air conditioning mode.
Auto turn on:
With machine in stand by mode, press the timer button to select the number of hours until you want the unit to automatically start running.
Temperature / Timer Set Controls

Used for adjusting the timer and thermostat.
The default display is room temperature.
In cooling mode, when “▼ “ or “▲“ button is pressed, the set temperature is displayed and may be adjusted.
After 10 seconds the display will revert back to room temperature.
Temperature is only adjustable in cool mode.
The time is adjustable between 1~24 hours.
Note : By pressing both “ ▼ “ / “▲“ set buttons at the same time, the display will toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Warning Light
Condensed water may accumulate in the unit. If the internal tank becomes full, the Power Light will flash and the unit will not operate until the unit has been drained (refer page 14, Water Condensation Drainage).

Remote Control
The functions work the same as the portable air conditioner’s touch controls. All key functions can be accessed from the remote control.

Note: Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight.

Battery Installation: Remove the cover on the back of the remote control and insert two AAA batteries with ‘‘+’’ and ‘‘-’’ pointing in the proper direction.

Caution

Use only two AAA or IEC R03 1.5V batteries.
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not in use for a month or longer.
All batteries should be replaced at the same time, do not mix with old batteries.
Properly dispose of used batteries.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Appliance Maintenance:

Turn off the appliance before disconnecting the power supply.
Always clean the appliance with a soft dry cloth.

Air Filter Maintenance:

Turn off the appliance and remove the air filter. (refer to page 5, #6) Rinse it in lukewarm water. After cleaning, dry in a shaded and cool place, then reinstall.

Maintenance After Use:
If the appliance will not be used for a long time, be sure to drain the left- over water condensation.

To dry excess moisture, run the unit in fan mode for 30 minutes before storing. Clean and reinstall air filter.
Remove air hose and window bracket and store with the portable air conditioner.

WATER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

Water Condensation Drainage

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and shows a warning light (refer to page 10). This warning light indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

Manual Draining

Water may need to be drained in high humidity areas

Unplug the unit from power source.
Place a shallow pan under the lower drain plug. See diagram.
Remove the lower drain plug.
Water will drain out and collect in the shallow pan.
After the water is drained, replace the lower drain plug firmly.
You can now turn on the unit.

Continuous Draining

While using the unit in dehumidifier mode, continuous drainage is recommended.

Unplug the unit from the power source.
Remove the upper drain plug. While doing this operation some
residual water may spill so please have a pan to collect the water.
Connect the drain connector to a ¾” hose (not included). See diagram.
The water can be continuously drained through the hose into a floor drain or bucket.
You can now turn on the unit.
