Place the air conditioner on a flat surface and upright to ensure the normal operation of the compressor.
Do not use the machine near gasoline or other flammable liquids.
Do not use aerosol sprays or other solvents near the machine. This may cause plastic deformation or possibly damage the electrical components of the machine.

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 plug case has two buttons: a RESET button and a TEST button.

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

Ensure a proper ground exists before using the air conditioner. The plug has three prongs for grounding.

Temporary Grounding

Due to potential safety hazards, the use of an adapter plug is strongly discouraged. 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.

Setting Up Your Portable Air Conditioner

Remove and store (optional) packing materials for reuse. Remove any shipping tape before using the air conditioner. Remove tape residue with liquid dish soap and a damp cloth. Do not use sharp tools, alcohol, thinners, or abrasive cleaners to remove adhesive, which could damage the finish.

Notes:

Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods.
When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, or other combustion/heating devices, make sure that there is sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in tightly closed spaces with these types of devices.
This air conditioner is intended for household use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control system for the purpose of cooling precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, and so on. Such items could be damaged.
Do not bend the hose downward when the window installation kit is not being used. Doing so may cause inferior performance or failure of the air conditioner.

Placing Your Air Conditioner

Place the unit on a flat, dry area near a window, so you can use the hose and adapter to connect the air conditioner to the window installation kit in order to vent the exhaust air outside.

To maintain good air circulation and optimum machine performance, leave a 20 inch (50 cm) space around it. This means 20 inches of clear space on all sides of the unit.

Installing Your Air Conditioner

Screw the exhaust hose to the exhaust outlet on the back of your air conditioner, then screw the hose adapter to the other end of the hose. The power cord length is not to scale in diagrams.
Measure the window size. The window sealing kit works with casement, sliding, and vertical, double-hung windows. You do not need to remove your window screen.
Install the window sealing plate in the window opening, adjusting the length to fit the window opening and securing it with screw A (provided).
Insert the hose adapter into the vent panel, then slide the adapter until it clicks into place. This creates a small gap which is then sealed by the adapter.
(Optional) Secure the hose adapter to the vent panel with the type B screw (provided).

Caution: The exhaust duct is designed especially for this air conditioner. Replacing or lengthening the duct could result in damage to your unit.

For optimum performance, do not twist the venting hose. For better efficiency, shorten the hose by squeezing its sections together.

(Optional) Install the security bracket with the type C screw (provided). The security bracket is secured with a Type C screw.

(Optional) To set up your air conditioner to automatically drain water while using the dehumidifier, see
