Installation Instructions

Step 1 - Unpack Air Conditioner

WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install the air conditioner. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

• Remove packaging materials. Save the carton and foam packaging for storing the air conditioner when not in use.
• NOTE: There are NO packing materials inside the air conditioner to remove. Do Not open the cabinet.
• Properly dispose of/recycle all packing material.
• Handle the air conditioner gently.
• Keep the air conditioner upright and level. Do not set the air conditioner on its side, front, back, or upside down.

Step 2 - Install Main Window Panel and Extension Panels

NOTE: Depending on the size of your window opening, use the main panel and one or both of the extension panels.

1. Open the window and place the main window panel into the window. NOTE: The window assembly is designed to accommodate either a vertical slide or horizontal slide window.
2. Adjust the extension panel to fit the width or height of the window as shown. NOTE: Some window installations may require the extension panels to be trimmed.
3. Use one flat screw to secure the main panel to the extension panel.

Diagram Description: Two diagrams illustrate window panel installation. One shows a vertical sliding window with the main window panel (A) inserted. The other shows a horizontal sliding window with the main window panel (A) inserted and an extension panel (B) adjusted to fit.

Step 3 - Attach Exhaust Pipe Assembly to the Window Panel

1. Grasp both ends of the exhaust hose and gently pull to expand the hose. NOTE: Do not attach additional hoses to extend the length, as this would decrease cooling efficiency and may damage the air conditioner.
2. Insert the air exhaust hose into the window sealing plate and fix it with screws.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the exhaust pipe assembly (A) being inserted into a window panel (B).

Step 4 - Connect Exhaust Hose to the Air Conditioner

IMPORTANT: When connecting the hose, the air conditioner must be close enough to the window so you will not dislodge the window seal plate. Once the hose is connected, move the air conditioner 51 cm from the wall.

1. Align the notches on the connector end of the exhaust hose with the ridges in the opening on the back of the air conditioner.
2. Using a counterclockwise motion, screw the exhaust hose connector end into the air outlet located on the back of the air conditioner.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the exhaust hose connector being attached to the air outlet on the back of the air conditioner unit.

Step 5 - Complete Installation

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded outlet only. Do not remove the ground contacts from the power cord plug. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Air Conditioner Use

IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its side, wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner to allow the oil to return to the compressor. This will prevent the air conditioner from failing prematurely.

• Allow 51 cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
• Do Not operate the air conditioner without air filter in place.
• Do not spill liquid on the control panel; it may cause an electrical short to the interior electronic parts that would either disable them or cause them to function improperly.
• When turning on the air conditioner for the first time after plugging it into an electrical outlet, the unit will start in Cooling mode set at 22°C, and at low fan speed. The control panel will display the current room temperature.
• When turning on the unit after previous use, it will remember the last settings used.
• After a normal shut down, please wait for 3 minutes before restarting the unit.
• In Cooling mode, this unit should not require water to be removed. This model has a unique design that continuously evaporates the water.
• When the unit is operated in high humidity conditions, you may need to empty the water tank periodically.
• The unit will shut down automatically when the water tank is full. The Water Full indicator illuminates to alert you of this condition.

Drainage Instruction

It also has two drainage methods that can be used: manual drainage and continuous drainage.

Manual Drain

This unit is designed with a highly efficient self-evaporative system and it is suggested to use manual drainage in cooling mode. Condensate will recycle in the unit to cool the condenser and enhance cooling performance. However, in extreme humidity, the water tank in the chassis will fill up and "FL" will show on the LED display. When this happens, the water tank needs to be drained manually from the lower drain port.

1. Put a water wedge below the upper drain port at the back of the unit.
2. Screw off the drain port cover and then connect a 12mm external diameter PVC drain hose to allow water flow into the water wedge.
3. After water has stopped flowing, plug in the water stopper back in and screw the drain port cover back onto the drain port tightly.

NOTE: The drain hose must be installed before the unit starts working. The drain hose should be routed so that it cannot be accidentally accessed during normal use. It should also be laid as straight as possible, with no sharp bends that would restrict water flow. The entire drain hose should also be kept at a level below that of the drain port.

WARNING: Choke Hazard

Keep the drain cover and the water stopper stored safely, out of the sight and reach of infants and children, when continuous drainage has been adopted.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the rear of the air conditioner with the upper drain port and a connected drain hose leading to a container.

Continuous Drain

We strongly recommend to use this method, and drain from the lower drain port if the unit is being used in heating mode, because the self-evaporative cooling system does not work in heating mode.

1. Screw off the drain port cover and remove the water stopper.
2. Connect a 12mm internal diameter PVC drain hose, inserted as deep as possible to avoid leakages.
3. Pull the end of the drain hose to a drain outlet within the home, or to the outside of the home.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the rear of the air conditioner with the lower drain port and a connected drain hose leading to an external drain outlet.

Air Conditioner Care

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Cleaning

1. Unplug or disconnect power.
2. Use only a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the cabinet.
3. NOTE: Do not use a liquid or spray cleaner to clean the air conditioner. DO NOT use chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents, or scouring pads. Some of these chemicals/items may damage and/or discolor your air conditioner.
4. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Plug in or reconnect power.

Air Filters

The air filter should be cleaned at least once a week for your unit to operate at optimum efficiency.

IMPORTANT: Do Not operate the air conditioner without the air filter in place.

1. Unplug or disconnect power.
2. Take out the air inlet grille and pull out the filter screen at both sides according to the direction shown in the figures.
3. Put the filter screen into warm water (about 40°C) added with neutral detergent, dry it in a shady place after cleaning.
4. Reinstall the filters.
5. Plug in or reconnect power.

Diagram Description: Illustrations show how to remove the air inlet grille and pull out the filter screens from the sides of the unit.

Storage

If the unit is not being used for a long period of time:

1. Unplug or disconnect power.
2. Drain the water from the water tank. See "Air Conditioner Care."
3. Use the original packaging to repack the unit to avoid a buildup of dust or dirt.
4. Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry location.
