Carry-On 7000 Portable Air Conditioners • Introduction
You have purchased a marine air conditioner that will add to
your boating enjoyment. Please read the accompanying
instructions to insure proper installation, operation and care.
Warnings
The use of the Carry-On™ is not recommended while the
boat is under way because of the potential for damage to the
Carry-On or the boat or the potential for personal injury.
The National Electrical Code recommends the use of a cord
labeled with LCDI or AFCI when connecting a room air
conditioner to power. LCDI stands for Leakage Current
Detection and Interruption; AFCI stands for Arc Fault Circuit
Interruption. Both help prevent fires and electrical shock.
Dometic recommends that you contact your dealer and
request part LCDI25 (25' cord) or purchase a similar cord
from another supplier.
The Carry-On unit weighs 77 lbs (34.9 kg). Please get assistance when moving or lifting the Carry-On to prevent injury.
Dimensions & Hatch Size
The Carry-On is 19" (483mm) High, but only 14 5/8"
(371mm) above deck when installed. The unit is 33"
(838mm) Long and 16" (406mm) Wide. For proper installation, the minimum hatch size is 12" (305mm) square, and the
maximum hatch size is 24" (610mm) square. The minimum
round hatch diameter is 15 1/2" (394mm).
Power Requirements

115/60/1 dockside power

Starting Amps: 10 A
Minimum Voltage: 198 VAC
Minimum Circuit: 10 A
Inverter/Generator Operation
In order to use the Carry-On safely on inverter or generator
power, you must confirm that the inverter/generator will be
able to meet the power requirements listed in this manual.
Dometic cannot assist in sizing an inverter/generator as the
manufacturer of that item is best suited for that task. Damage
to a unit caused by an inadequate inverter/generator is not
covered under warranty.
Safe Operation of Carry-On
1. Use cord labled with LCDI or AFCI to connect to power
source (see warning).

)
2. Using the Carry-On is not recommended while the boat is
under way.
3. Prevent accidents or damage to Carry-On. Always carry or
move unit using the handles. Unplug at receptacle and
Carry-On control panel prior to moving.
4. Do not disassemble Carry-On.
5. Be certain the Carry-On has been properly installed
according to the Installation Instructions.
6. Physical and electrical conditions vary greatly from
location to location.
(a.) Be sure the electrical service is adequate and equipped
with a circuit breaker (15 amps minimum for 115V units, 10
amps minimum for 220V units).
(b.) Use a three-prong (grounded) power cord rated at 15
amps minimum for 115V units or 10 amps minimum for 220V
units, with a length no longer than needed to reach from the
installed Carry-On to a grounded, 3-wire receptacle on your
boat, or to a suitable grounded dockside outlet (order part
number LCDI25).

(c.) DANGER - SHOCK HAZARD! Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the grounding prong from the
end of your power cord. Your Carry-On must be used with a
three-prong grounding power cord and connected to a
properly grounded and polarized three prong receptacle. DO
NOT USE AN ADAPTOR PLUG, OR A TWO BLADE
ADAPTOR PLUG THAT BYPASSES THE GROUNDING IN
ANY WAY!!!
(d.) It is always desirable to have your on-board or shoreside
receptacle protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
7. If the Carry-On operation is interrupted (turned off, plug
pulled out, thunderstorm, etc., accidentally or otherwise)
after operation in the COOL mode, WAIT 3 MINUTES
BEFORE RESTARTING. This allows pressure inside the
compressor to equalize. Consequences of attempted restart
within the 3 minute period may be a tripped circuit breaker or
blown fuse. In this case, turn Carry-On to “OFF”, reset
breaker (or replace fuse), wait 3 minutes, then restart.
8. If the Carry-On has been stored in any position other than
upright within 10 degrees of level, then, after installing, wait
30 minutes to allow compressor oil to settle to the bottom of
the compressor. Otherwise permanent damage may occur,
voiding the warranty.
