2. Plug the power cord into its own dedicated properly grounded outlet. Do not plug other appliances into the same outlet. could overload the outlet and create a fire hazard.
3. Make sure the air conditioner and cord positioned where not create a tripping hazard and will receive adequate ventilation. Do not furniture or objects that could block the vent openings. Make sure that any items that could be blown over or damaged by the airflow from the fan are out of the airflow path.

IMPORTANT

• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods of time.
• When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, and other combustion devices, make sure there is a sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in tightly enclosed spaces with these types of devices.
• This air conditioner is intended for household use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control system, or for purposes such as cooling precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc. Such items could be damaged.
• Do not bend the hose downward when window installation kit is not applied. It may cause failure of air conditioner or performance deterioration.

• Do not use a rechargeable battery. Make sure that the battery is new.
• In order to prevent discharge, remove the battery from the remote control if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
• Keep the remote control away from extremely hot or humid places.
• To maintain optimal operation of the remote control, the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The remote control will not work properly if the unit is exposed to direct light or there is any obstacle between the unit and the remote controller.

Contents of Installation Kit

Selection of Installation Location

1. Place the unit on a level floor.
2. For best performance, allow at least air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
3. Place the unit near a window. The hose and diffuser will be used to connect the air conditioner to the window installation kit to vent exhaust air outside.
   

NOTE
The length of the flexible vent hose is specially designed according to the specification of this product. Do not replace or extend it with a hose that is not specifically designed for use with this product as this could cause malfunction.

Assembling the Flexible Vent Hose Set

1. Pull evenly on the folds to extend one end of the flexible vent hose.
2. Insert the mounting bracket on to the end of the vent hose, aligning the mounting bracket threads with the notch on the flexible vent hose.
3. Turn the mounting bracket counterclockwise though 5 rotations or until the flexible vent hose is firmly attached.
4. Repeat the process to attach the diffuser to the other end of the flexible vent hose.

Attaching the Flexible Vent Hose Set

Round Type
Insert the mounting bracket and rotate it to lock it in place.

Square Type
Insert the mounting bracket and slide it to lock it in place.

Window Vent Panel and Extensions
The window installation kit allows you to install the air conditioner in most vertical-sliding windows 18″ to 50″ wide, or horizontal-sliding windows from 18″ to 50″ high.

1. Select the panels required based on the window opening, as shown above.
2. For longer window openings, assemble and adjust the panels to fit the window opening. Use type A screws (included) to fix the panels together at the proper length.
   

• For an 18″ window opening, use the window vent panel (Panel A) by itself. Fig. a

• For window openings from 19″ to 25″, use the window vent panel (Panel A) and extension Panel B. Fig. b

• • For window openings from 27″ to 34″, use the window vent panel (Panel A) and extension Panel D.

• For window openings from 35″ to 50″, use the window vent panel (Panel A) and extension Panel C and Panel D. Fig. d

Installing Vent Panels

1. Attach the long adhesive foam weather seals to the top and bottom sides of the window vent panel assembly. Attach the short foam weather seals to the right and left sides of the panel assembly.
   (Attaching the foam weather seals to the panel assembly rather than the window sash and frame makes for easier cleanup when removing the panel assembly.)

2. Insert the panel assembly in the bottom sash channel. Use care when installing the assembly, which will now fit very tightly in the opening. Close the sash tightly against the top of the panel assembly.

3. Measure and cut the included non-adhesive foam to fit the window opening. Stuff it between the window sashes to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.

4. Align the tabs on the diffuser with the slots in the vent panel. Insert the diffuser into the opening in the vent panel and slide the diffuser all the way over to lock the tabs in place. Position the diffuser with the round opening above the bottom of the vent panel to avoid interference from the window sill.

5. Insert the type C screw in the hole in the diffuser to prevent the diffuser from sliding out of the vent opening. If the diffuser is positioned correctly, the screw should just clear the edge of the opening in the vent panel. You should not have to drill through the vent panel.

NOTE

• For a tighter seal, use “no residue” duct tape (not provided) to seal any gaps around the installed panel assembly, around the diffuser, and between the sashes.
• For best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible. However, shape the diffuser end of the vent hose into an inverted U shape just inside the window to allow any rain or condensation to drain out the window.

Drain Hose Installation for Heating (On Some Models)

CAUTION

• If you use the Heat mode, you must install the drain hose. If only the Cool mode is used, the drain hose is not needed.
• If the outside temperature is at or near freezing 32 °F (0 °C) follow the indoor drainage instructions.
• When the weather is above freezing, the unit can be set up to drain to the outside. Make sure the outlet of the hose is aimed away from nearby surfaces that could be stained or damaged by the draining water.

Indoor Drainage

1. To attach the drain hose, insert the connector into the pump drain port at the back of the unit until it snaps into place.
2. Place the other end of the drain hose in a bucket that holds at least 28 ounces. Remember to check and empty the bucket frequently to avoid overflows.
3. To detach the drain hose from the product, push the outer ring of the pump drain port in and pull the connector out.

NOTE

• Inserting the drain hose into the unit will automatically activate the drain function.

Outdoor Drainage

1. To attach the drain hose, insert the connector into the pump drain port at the back of the unit until it snaps into place.
2. Unscrew the nut at the bottom of the locking nut. Insert the locking nut into the hole in the front of the window vent panel and reassemble the nut. Unscrew the top part of the locking nut until you can easily insert the drain hose through the opening.
3. Make sure to insert the drain hose at least 8 inches (20 cm).
4. Turn the top of the locking nut to tighten it and secure the drain hose in place.
5. To detach the drain hose from the product, push the outer ring of the pump drain port in and pull the connector out.

NOTE

• Inserting the drain hose in the unit will automatically activate the drain function.

Garden Hose Installation for Dehumidifying (Dry Mode Only)

1. Remove the drain plug when using the Dry (dehumidifying) mode.
2. Install a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) inside diameter garden hose (not provided) into the continuous drain port and place the open end of the hose over a floor drain or bucket.

NOTE

• Install the garden hose when you need dehumidification in high humidity.
• This product has a self-evaporative system. The condensing water will be recycled to cool the condenser. This not only improves cooling efficiency, but also saves energy for you.
