Electrical Safety

Integrated circuit breaker
For additional safety, the power cord on this air conditioner features an integrated circuit breaker. You can test and reset the circuit breaker using the buttons provided on the plug case. The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not cause the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner immediately and contact an Insignia technician

Preferred grounding method

Temporary grounding
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used for a temporary connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a minimum capacity of 120V~60Hz, 13A, and 1560W. Make sure that the large slot of the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the outlet.

To prevent damage to the adapter’s ground terminal, hold the adapter in place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.

FAQ’S

Do portable air conditioners use a lot of electricity?

How Much Electricity Does A Portable Air Conditioner Use? Mid-sized portable air conditioners use an average of 2900 watts per hour. Particularly large units can exceed the electricity usage of even central air conditioners, expending about 4100 watts per hour.

Where does the water go in a portable air conditioner?

All portable air conditioners produce condensation as they are cooled. This water is then contained in an internal water reservoir or drained through a hose. On all of our models, this water reservoir has an auto shutoff feature so that water is never accidentally spilled onto the ground

Why is my Insignia portable air conditioner leaking water?

Portable AC condensate pump is broken. If the condensate pump malfunctions, then water will build up in your portable AC and leak out. In this case, you’ll need to repair or replace the condensate pump. Some portable air conditioners have built-in condensate pumps.

Do you have to fill portable AC with water?

You don’t have to fill in a standard portable AC. However, if you have an evaporative portable room air conditioner or otherwise known as a swamp cooler, you’ll have to refill the reservoir with ice and water.

Why does my portable AC have two drains?

Models with Dehumidification Mode have two drains. The upper drain plug is provided to allow automatic draining when there is a full tank, like in Dehumidification Mode or Cooling Mode in high humidity areas. This connection is threaded to allow connection to a garden hose fitting.

Is it OK to have AC on when raining?

Rain alone will not harm your air conditioner. In fact, turning the system on during warm, rainy days can make your home feel much more comfortable. The only time you would need to be concerned is if the rain was severe enough to leave standing water around the unit. In that case, it would be wise to power it down

Should you cover your AC unit in winter?
