ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Integrated circuit breaker: The power cord features an integrated circuit breaker. Test and reset using buttons on the plug case. If the TEST button does not trip the breaker, or the RESET button does not stay engaged, unplug immediately and contact Insignia service.

Consult a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are unclear or if the outlet is not properly grounded.

This air conditioner requires a grounded 115V, 60Hz AC outlet protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. Installation must comply with national wiring codes.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Failure to follow these instructions can result in electric shock, fire, or death.

Preferred grounding method: Ensure a proper ground exists before use.

Temporary grounding: If an adapter plug is necessary, use only a UL-listed adapter (min. 120V ~ 60Hz, 13A, 1560W). Align the large slot of the adapter with the large slot in the outlet. Hold the adapter while plugging/unplugging to prevent damage to its ground terminal. Note: Attaching to a cover screw does not guarantee grounding unless the house wiring is properly grounded.

SETTING UP YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER

Before using

• Remove and store (optional) packing materials.
• Remove any shipping tape.
• Clean tape residue with liquid dish soap and a damp cloth. Avoid sharp tools, alcohol, thinners, or abrasive cleaners.

Placing your air conditioner

Place the unit on a flat, dry area near a window for venting. Maintain at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space around the unit for good air circulation and performance.

INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

1. Screw the exhaust hose to the exhaust outlet on the back of the unit, then screw the hose adapter to the other end of the hose.
2. Measure the window size.
3. Install the window sealing plate in the window opening, adjusting its length to fit and locking it. This kit works with sliding windows.
4. Insert the hose adapter into the vent panel and slide until it clicks into place.
5. Optional: Install the security bracket with the type B screw.
6. Optional: Apply the sealing gaskets to the edges of the window opening where the sealing plate is mounted to prevent warm air entry.

Note: For optimum performance, ensure the venting hose is not twisted or kinked. Shorten the hose if necessary by squeezing its sections together.

Caution: The exhaust duct is designed specifically for this air conditioner. Replacing or lengthening it could damage the unit.
