Installing the Carbon Filter
Your portable air conditioner ships with a pre-filter and an activated
carbon filter. The carbon filter will help remove contaminates and
odors from the air. It is recommended you replace the carbon filter
every two to three months, or as needed. It is necessary to clean
the pre-filter periodically. Follow the steps below to install the
carbon filter:
1. Shut off the unit. Pull the pre-filter towards the hose.
2. Insert the activated carbon filter between the pre-filter
and the unit.
3. Reinstall the pre-filter.

Preparations for installing
the window kit
NOTE: Exhaust Covers
may be attached to the
Grated Adapters. You
may need to twist and
pull apart to separate
them.
NOTE: You may need to
contact your electrician if
your room’s circuit is not
able to power your unit.
Window Kit Installation Instructions
You must vent your portable air conditioner when running in it
cooling mode and heating mode (HS model). Your unit includes a
window exhaust kit that can be used to vent the unit out a window.
Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for
installation.
Window Kit Parts List:
If you have multiple windows, choose one that is near an electrical outlet
that will be able to provide sufficient power to your unit. See the power
requirements listed on the product label printed on the side, or on the
back of your portable air conditioner.
Your window kit can be installed on a horizontal or vertical sliding window
as shown in the following pictures:
8 Screws
2 Exhaust Hoses
4 Duct Connectors
2 Grated Adapters
2 Exhaust Covers
1 Window Kit Plate
with Holes
2 Window Kit Plates
Follow the instructions on the next pages to install the window kit.
Note: This unit can be used with one or two vent hoses. The exhaust hose should always be used in cooling
and heating (HS model) mode. The air intake hose can be used to increase the cooling efficiency of the unit.
If the air intake hose is not used, simply cover one of the grated adapters on the window kit with a vent cap.
EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner 4
Installing the grated adapter
1. Insert the round grated adapters through the back
grooved side of the window kit plate with holes.
2. Secure the grated adapters by fastening the screws from
flat side of the window kit plate to the holes on the grated
adapter.
5
Installing the window plates
CAUTION: Secure your
window by using window
locks. Please contact your
EdgeStar retailer to
purchase window locks.
3. Open your window and place the window kit with
grooved side facing outward on the window sill. Then, slide
the window kit plates to fit the width of the window. You can
use screws to secure the window kit plates from sliding.
4. Lower the window to secure the window kit in place. You
may need to use duct tape to better secure the window kit.

EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner 8
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 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.
Do not lengthen the
exhaust hose by adding
additional hoses or
attachments.
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 or replace it
with any other hose.
Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended.

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.

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, but allow at least 20
inches of space on sides and back of the unit.
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.
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.
Close all windows and doors.
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.

Preparation for Storage
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.
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.
Never spray water directly on the unit.
To clean the pre-filter, follow the steps below:
1) Power off the unit and remove the pre-filter.
2) Remove the activated carbon filter.
3) Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose
dust and dirt, then rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water
(below 104°F). You may use a mild soap and water solution if
needed. Allow the pre-filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place.
Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
Clean the pre-filter periodically. If the unit is used in a dusty
environment you may need to clean it on a weekly basis.
Warning: Never operate the unit without the filters.
If you are not going to be using the unit for an extended period of
time, follow the instructions below before storing your unit:
1) Drain all the water from the unit’s reservoir. Operate the unit in
fan mode for a few hours to thoroughly dry any moisture left on the
coils inside the unit.
2) Power off the unit, and clean or change the filters.
3) Unplug and carefully wind the power cord.
4) Remove the exhaust hose and duct connectors and keep them
in a safe place.
