Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner User Manual

User Tips

Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser, and evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is filtered, dehumidified, and cooled while a flexible air outlet hose sends heat outside. The air conditioner includes a window venting kit, requiring no permanent installation. The unit is easy to move from room to room, offering a flexible air conditioning solution.

Auto Evaporation System: The unit automatically evaporates condensate through the air outlet hose. Drainage is typically not needed unless in very humid conditions. Read and follow instructions carefully.

For optimal efficiency, keep doors and windows closed when using the air conditioner or dehumidifier. If using the fan function only, an open window can improve air circulation.

Cooling and Dehumidifying Operation

Fan Operation

Important: Before installing, place the unit UPRIGHT for 1 hour before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize. Manually adjust the air vent at the top of the unit to direct airflow. Follow installation instructions and plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit. DO NOT use an extension cord.

Installation Kit Components:

• 1 Set: Window Bracket Kit
• 1 Piece: Window Bracket Panel Adapter
• 2 Pieces: Plastic Pin
• 1 Piece: Hose Connector
• 1 Piece: Plastic Hose

Installation Steps:

1. Install the plastic hose with the window bracket adapter and hose connector on both ends, ensuring a proper fit.
2. Adjust the window bracket to your window's width or height and insert plastic pins to secure it. Ensure the hole for the plastic hose is not blocked.
3. Connect the plastic hose to the hose connector on the back of the unit. Push until it locks into place.
4. Connect the window bracket to the opposite end of the plastic hose. Ensure all connections are tight and properly installed.
5. Connect the window bracket to the window.
6. The Portable Air Conditioner is now ready to use.

Important Installation Notes:

• The exhaust hose length is specific; do not replace or lengthen it, as this can cause malfunction.
• The supplied exhaust hose has a 5-inch (12.7cm) diameter and extends from 12 to 47 inches (30cm to 120cm).
• Do not bend the exhaust hose excessively, as this blocks airflow and can cause the unit to malfunction or shut off.
• Ensure the back of the unit is at least 50 cm (20 inches) from the wall. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes, as this obstructs airflow.
• Any warranties may be voided if an extension hose is added or installation differs from instructions without consultation. Contact Customer Support for installation help.

5. Turn the unit on.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: Unit does not start

• Possible Cause: No power; remote batteries need replacement; power cord not plugged in; LCDI plug tripped (USA/Canada/Mexico).
• Solution: Check power; replace remote batteries; reconnect power cord; reset LCDI plug (contact support if persists).

Problem: Runs a short while only

• Possible Cause: Thermostat setting too close to room temperature; air outlet blocked; tight bends in exhaust hose.
• Solution: Lower set temperature; ensure exhaust hose is properly connected; connect exhaust hose per instructions.

Problem: Runs but not cooling
