Electric Shock Hazard

To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before installing or servicing.

CAUTION

To avoid installation/operation difficulties, read these instructions thoroughly.

Installation Accessories	Fig. 1
Description	Quantity

Flexible exhaust hose, collar & adapter	.....1/set
f
Adjustable window door slider kit .............	1/set

from 22 9/16" (67.5 cm) up to 48 7/16" (123 cm)

Direct Drain Adapter (not shown) ..............1 pc.

• The garden hose for elongated direct drain applications is not included with this unit.

NOTE: The exhaust window kit must be installed at all times when the unit is operating under the AIR CONDITIONING mode.

4)Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.

5)When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE on HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort and utilizes less electricity.

IMPORTANT

There should be at least 11.8" (30 cm) clearance between the unit and any other objects or building structure and should be installed on a level surface. The unit does not have to be vented outside during Dehumidifer or Fan Only mode operation.

3.Route the end of the hose under the side of the water tank, then through the hole provided on the face of the tank and place the water tank back into the cabinet (As shown in Figure 4). If required, attach the included drain hose adapter (Fig 4) to the end of the drain tube and attach a section of garden hose (not included) to suit your continuous drain option requirements.

Direct Drain Tube

Please Note: Remember to reverse the above direct drain instructions when relocating the unit to a location where continuous drain is not possible. Failure to replace and recap the direct drain hose may resulting in flooding of the immediate area.

CAUTION

Always empty the external water tank before attempting to move or re-locate the unit to another location.

Water Tank Safety Feature

This unit is equipped with a fail-safe switch mechanism which prevents the unit from condensing water in the event the internal water tank is accidentally displaced and/or is full. If this situation occurs, the (RED) WATER FULL indicator light will illuminate. This condition will remain steady until the external water tank is emptied.

NOTE: No cooling will occur until the internal tank is emptied and/or re-positioned. It may take several minutes before the compressor resumes normal operation.

CAUTION

During air conditioning and dehumidifier mode, if the compressor cycle is interrupted (water full condition, unplugged, power failure,etc.) and reinstated immediately thereafter, (within 3-5 minutes) a “compressor protection circuit” is automatically activated. The compressor cannot operate during “compressor protection” mode. (this is normal) It may take 3-5 minutes before the “protection circuit” self-deactivates.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE UNIT (COM-

PRESSOR) DURING THIS PERIOD.
