Notes about the Exhaust hose
Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensate water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or droplet form, will be expelled out the exhaust port of the unit. Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it.
1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can be extended up to approximately 48 inches; however for maximum efficiency, use the shortest length possible.
2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or bends may trap exhaust air which can radiate heat into the room or potentially cause the portable air conditioner to overheat and shut itself off.
3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has been specifically designed for this air conditioner. Do not lengthen the hose by adding additional hoses or attachments. Do not replace it with any other hose.
Do not lengthen the exhaust hose by adding additional hoses or attachments.
Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended. The exhaust hose must be installed or removed in accordance
with the usage modes: A: You must install the exhaust hose if the unit is in Cooling Mode. B: You must remove the exhaust hose if the unit is in Fan Mode or
Dehumidify mode. Note: the exhaust hose may be compressed or extended according
to your installation requirements; however, it is recommended to keep the exhaust hose length at a minimum.
EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner 8
Draining the Unit
The unit will need to be drained if set to dehumidify mode. When the portable air conditioner is in cooling mode, it will remove moisture from the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir and will be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose. However, in very humid conditions, the internal reservoir may fill completely. This causes the air conditioner to turn off to avoid overflowing the internal reservoir. The unit will beep 8 times and the LCD will show a “P1” error code on the Control Panel if the reservoir is full of water. The fan motor will continue to run, but the air conditioner/ dehumidifier will stop running.
Direct drainage
For continuous use you can connect a drain hose to the upper drain port of the portable air conditioner.
1. Remove the rubber drain plug from the upper drain port.
2. Connect a drain hose to the upper drain port. (Some models may have a threaded valve for a garden hose. You may need to purchase an adapter.) The portable air conditioner will now drain through the drain hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain with gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”
Manual Drain
You may need to manually drain the unit if your unit stops running and displays a “P1” error.
1. Roll the unit to a location suitable for draining.
2. Remove the lower drain plug and allow the unit to drain completely.
3. Insert the lower drain plug to the lower drain port and restart the unit.

Normal Sounds
Your new portable air conditioner may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the sounds that are made are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a
splashing sound.
You may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing. You will hear fan noise from the exhaust and front vents.
Energy Saving Guide
Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and efficiency from your portable air conditioner:
Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they do
not obstruct the air intake.
Minimize the length of the exhaust hose. Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid kinks
or bends.
Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the
day and close all windows and doors.
Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example, set
the timer to turn on the unit in cooling mode for 3 or more hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may want to operate the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.
Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers,
people, etc.) in the room.
Use the unit in a contained room. For example, a room with four walls
and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
Make sure the unit is on a level surface. Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run the
unit as a dehumidifier.
To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before
turning the unit back on after shutting it off.
Inspect and keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly. Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly. Perform routine maintenance.
Maintenance
Clean the air conditioner and filters regularly to maximize performance and efficiency, and prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet before cleaning. Follow the instructions on the next page to clean the portable air conditioner.
EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner 14
Cleaning the unit
Cleaning the pre-filters
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the body clean. If necessary, use lukewarm water to dampen a cloth to clean the unit. Use a soft bristle brush to clean between the vents. Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to clean the condenser coils
Never use abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solvents that may damage the cabinet exterior.
