Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause death, harm or damage. Installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or fire. Use only the included accessories and parts, and specified tools for the installation. Using non-standard parts can cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire, and injury or property damage. Make sure that the outlet you are using is grounded and has the appropriate voltage. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to protect against shock. Voltage information can be found on the nameplate of the unit. Your unit must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker (the fuse or circuit breaker needed is determined by the maximum current of the unit. The maximum current is indicated on the nameplate located on unit), have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle. Install the unit on a flat, sturdy surface. Failure to do so could result in damage or excessive noise and vibration. The unit must be kept free from obstruction to ensure proper function and to mitigate safety hazards. Do not modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit. Do not share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical shock. Do not install your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit. Ensure there is a minimum of 20" clearance around the unit and is clear from any combustible items such as propane, fire extinguishers, fuel, etc. The exhaust hose should always be used and should never be covered or blocked which can become a fire hazard. The unit has wheels to facilitate moving. Make sure not to use the wheels on thick carpet or to roll over objects, as these could cause tipping. Do not operate a unit that it has been dropped or damaged. Do not place the portable air conditioner close to any other heat generating appliances. Do not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or when barefoot. If the air conditioner is knocked over during use, turn off the unit and unplug it from the main power supply immediately. Visually inspect the unit to ensure there is no damage. If you suspect the unit has been damaged, contact a technician or customer service for assistance. In a thunderstorm, the power must be cut off to avoid damage to the machine due to lightning. Your air conditioner should be used in such a way that it is protected from moisture. e.g. condensation, splashed water, etc. Do not place or store your air conditioner where it can fall or be pulled into water or any other liquid. Unplug immediately if it occurs. All wiring must be performed strictly in accordance with the wiring diagram located inside of the unit. The unit's circuit board (PCB) is designed with a fuse to provide overcurrent protection. The specifications of the fuse are printed on the circuit board, such as: T 3.15A/250V, etc. When the water drainage function is not in use, keep the upper and the lower drain plug firmly plugged into to the unit to prevent a choking hazard by children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Children must be supervised around the unit at all times. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Prior to cleaning or other maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains. Do not remove any fixed covers. Never use this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged. 3 4 5 20 inch 6 20 inch AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR UNIT OPERATION MODE Cool Dry TEMPERATURE RANGE 61°F - 95°F (16°C - 35°C) 61-89°F | 16-32°C TECHNICAL DATA What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner? The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner's BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? A higher number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are compar-ing only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to "size up" if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you've found the right cooling capacity for your room, you can look at other features. Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specific test procedure, which was changed just this year. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than in previous models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioners has not changed. What is SACC ? SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and applicable sampling plans.
