 Installing the Carbon Filter

Your portable air conditioner ships with a pre-filter and an activated

carbon filter. The carbon filter will help remove contaminates and
odors from the air. It is recommended you replace the carbon filter
every two to three months, or as needed. It is necessary to clean
the pre-filter periodically. Follow the steps below to install the
carbon filter:

CAUTION: Never operate

the air conditioner without
the pre-filter attached.

1. Pull the pre-filter straight up.

 Window Kit Installation Instructions

Preparations for installing You must vent your portable air conditioner when running in it
the window kit cooling mode. Your unit includes a window exhaust kit that can be
used to vent the unit out a window.

Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for
installation.

the exhaust hose

 3. Attach the oval adapter to the hose:

A. Extend the end of the exhaust hose
B. Thread the duct connector onto the hose by turning it


clockwise until it stops.

Caution: The unit is designed

to be used indoors and
freestanding, and not be
used outdoors, or be built-in
to a cabinet or used under a
counter.

 
4. Roll the unit towards the window kit. Leave a space that
is at least 20 inches to the wall.

 6. Push the oval adapter through the window kit hole until it
snaps in place.

After you have installed the exhaust hose and window kit, you can
plug in your portable air conditioner and start using it.

7
Notes about the Exhaust Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensate
hose water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or
droplet form, will be expelled out the exhaust port of the unit.
Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it.

1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can
be extended up to approximately 48 inches; however for maximum
efficiency, use the shortest length possible.

2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or

bends may trap exhaust air which can radiate heat into the room or
potentially cause the portable air conditioner to overheat and shut
itself off.

3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has
been specifically designed for this air conditioner. Do not lengthen
the hose by adding additional hoses or attachments. Do not replace
it with any other hose.

Do not lengthen the

exhaust hose by adding
additional hoses or
attachments.

Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended.

The exhaust hose must be installed or removed in accordance

with the usage modes:

A: You must install the exhaust hose if the unit is in Cooling Mode.

B: You must remove the exhaust hose if the unit is in Fan Mode or
Dehumidify mode.

Note: the exhaust hose may be compressed or extended according

to your installation requirements; however, it is recommended to
keep the exhaust hose length at a minimum.

Portable Air Conditioner 8

 Draining the Unit

The unit will need to be drained if set to dehumidify mode. When the
portable air conditioner is in cooling mode, it will remove moisture from
the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal
reservoir and will be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose.
However, in very humid conditions, the internal reservoir may fill
completely. This causes the air conditioner to turn off to avoid overflowing
the internal reservoir. The unit will beep 8 times and the LCD will show a
“P1” error code on the Control Panel if the reservoir is full of water. The
fan motor will continue to run, but the air conditioner/ dehumidifier will
stop running.

Direct drainage
For continuous use you can connect a drain hose to the upper drain port
of the portable air conditioner.
1. Remove the rubber drain plug from the upper drain port.

2. Connect a drain hose to the upper drain port. (Some models may have
a threaded valve for a garden hose. You may need to purchase an
adapter.) The portable air conditioner will now drain through the drain
hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain
with gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”

Manual Drain
You may need to manually drain the unit if your unit stops running and
displays a “P1” error.
1. Roll the unit to a location suitable for draining.
2. Remove the lower drain plug and allow the unit to drain completely.

3. Insert the lower drain plug to the lower drain port and restart the unit.

restart after 3 minutes.

Cooling Mode Cooling mode cools and dehumidifies the air. If the ambient temperature drops
below the temperature you selected, the compressor turns off and the unit
functions with the fan only. When the temperature rises above the temperature
you selected, the compressor turns on again.
Whether your desired temperature can actually be reached depends on the
ambient conditions. The room temperature remaining above the set temperature
is normal.

To operate the unit in cooling mode:

1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.

correct direction.
3) Slide the cover back on.

CAUTION: Use only AAA batteries. Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for one
month or longer. Do not attempt to recharge batteries not designed to be recharged. All batteries should be
replaced at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they
may explode.

13
 Normal Sounds

Your new portable air conditioner may make sounds that are not familiar
to you. Most of the sounds that are made are normal. Hard surfaces like
the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and
what may be making them.
 The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
 Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a
splashing sound.
 You may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing.
 You will hear fan noise from the exhaust and front vents.

Energy Saving Guide

Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and
efficiency from your portable air conditioner:
 Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.
 Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they do
not obstruct the air intake.
 Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.
 Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid kinks
or bends.
 Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the
day and close all windows and doors.
 Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example, set
the timer to turn on the unit in cooling mode for 3 or more hours to
cool the room before you arrive. You may want to operate the unit all
day if you live in a warmer climate.
 Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers,
people, etc.) in the room.
 Use the unit in a contained room. For example, a room with four walls
and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
 Make sure the unit is on a level surface.
 Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run the
unit as a dehumidifier.
 To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before
turning the unit back on after shutting it off.
 Inspect and keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly.
 Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly.
 Perform routine maintenance.

Maintenance

Clean the air conditioner and filters regularly to maximize performance

and efficiency, and prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the air
conditioner from the power outlet before cleaning. Follow the instructions
