Electrical Safety

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can result in electric shock, fire, or death.

Unit must be properly grounded.
Do not cut or remove the grounding plug.
If the outlet is not properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
Connect to a grounded 115V, 60 Hz AC outlet protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Install in accordance with national wiring codes.
Do not alter or modify the plug or cord. Replace damaged cords only with genuine parts by a qualified technician.
Do not use an extension cord.

Integrated Circuit Breaker

The power cord has an integrated circuit breaker. Test and reset it using the buttons on the plug case. Consult a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are unclear or if the breaker malfunctions. The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button, then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip the breaker, or the RESET button does not stay engaged, unplug the unit immediately and contact Insignia.

Grounding Methods

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

Temporary grounding: Use only a UL-listed adapter plug for temporary connections. Ensure the adapter's large slot aligns with the outlet's large slot. Hold the adapter while plugging/unplugging to prevent ground terminal damage. Attaching the adapter's ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not guarantee grounding unless the screw is metal, not insulated, and the receptacle is grounded. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.

Minimum capacities: 10,000 BTU requires 120V, 60Hz, 13A, 1560W; 12,000 BTU requires 120V, 60Hz, 15A, 1800W.

Setting Up Your Portable Air Conditioner

Before Using

Remove and store 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

Screw the exhaust hose to the air outlet on the back of the unit, then attach the hose adapter to the other end of the hose.
Measure the window size.
Install the window sealing plate in the window opening, adjusting its length to fit and securing it with [Screw A]. This kit is designed for sliding windows.
Insert the hose adapter into the vent panel (A) and slide until it clicks into place (B). Ensure the venting hose is not twisted or kinked for optimal performance; shorten it by squeezing sections together if needed. Caution: Use only the provided exhaust duct; replacing or lengthening it may damage the unit.
Optional: Install the security bracket using the [Type C Screw].
Optional: Install sealing gaskets. Remove the two 60" rolls from the accessory bag. Peel the paper backing to expose the adhesive and stick the gaskets to the edges of the window opening where the sealing plate will be mounted to prevent warm air entry. Adjust and install the sealing plate.
Optional: Secure the venting hose to the vent adapter using the included screw.

Installing the Batteries

Insert two AAA batteries (provided) into the remote control, ensuring correct orientation (+ and -).

Operating Your Air Conditioner

Turning On and Selecting Mode

Press the Power button [▶️] to turn the unit on. Use the Mode button to select Cool, Dry, or Fan mode. In Cool mode, the unit cools the room. In Dry mode, it dehumidifies the air with a low fan speed. In Fan mode, it circulates air without cooling.

Fan Speed

In Cool or Fan mode, adjust the fan speed using the SPEED button on the unit or High/Mid/Low buttons on the remote.

Switching Units

Press the °C/°F button on the remote control to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Setting a Timer

Set the air conditioner to turn off or on after a delay of up to 24 hours. Press the timer buttons [▲]/[▼] while the unit is running for automatic off, or while it is off for automatic on. The timer indicator will light up when set.
