INSTALLATION

The air conditioner requires being vented outside so that the exhaust air can escape the room. Do not replace or extend exhaust hose beyond its specification. This will result in decreased efficiency of the unit and may cause the unit to shut down due to low back pressure.

STEP 1: Connect the hose connector to one end of the exhaust hose

STEP 2: Connect the windows kit adapter to the other end of the exhaust hose.

STEP 3 : Extend the adjustable window kit the length of your window. Connect the exhaust hose to

STEP 4: Open the window and place the window kit on the inside edge of the window. Adjust the window seal plate to the width of the window. Once secure, close the window to secure it in place.
Note : Depending on the type of window frame, for some window installations the use of duct tape may be ideal to better seal the window kit to attain a better-closed seal which will yield maximum efficiency.

STEP 5: Attach the hose connector to the exhaust air outlet of unit.

Adjust the length of the flexible exhaust hose. Avoid bends in the hose and ensure that the unit is near the electrical outlet.

To ensure the ideal operation of the unit, the units built in Automatic defrost function will activate. the air conditioner unit will automatically start defrosting and the POWER LED will blink.
The auto defrost feature will operate in the cooling setting. When in cooling operation, if the unit ambient temperature sensor senses the evaporator coil temperature to be below -1°C, the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes. When the coil temperature sensor detects 7 °C, the unit will restart to cool operating mode

Overload Protection
In the event of a power loss, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.

Drainage (Dehumidfying)
Built into this unit is a self-evaporating drainage feature. Under normal operating conditions, the self-evaporative feature of the unit will operate without issue or maintenance being required.
