Introduction
The new Portable Room Air Conditioner can be easily
moved from room to room with minimal set-up time. It
utilizes a water pump system that uses stored condensate
to effi ciently cool the condenser, helping to dissipate heat
quickly and reduce operating costs.
Features:
• 4.0 Dehumidifi cation (pints/hr).
• Electronic thermostat.
• 24-hour delay.
• 3 cooling / 3 fan only speeds.
• Available with 8,000 or 10,000 BTUH (cooling).
• The DRY MODE provides dehumidifi cation only.
• The power outage recovery feature automatically restarts the unit in the last settings used after the
power is restored.

Installation Information
Back of unit
Drainage
• The air conditioner should be placed on a
smooth and level fl oor strong enough to
support the unit.
• Place the unit in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 65°F (18°C).
The coils can become covered with frost at
temperatures below 65°F (18°C), which may
reduce performance.
• Allow at least 12 inches (30 cm) of airspace
on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

min.
min.
The drain cap is located at the bottom back of the
unit.
The unit is designed to automatically evaporate
water collected in normal settings. However, in
very humid settings, the unit may occasionally
need to be drained.
If the WATER FULL indicator light is blinking
and the unit is still operating, it has reached the
maximum water collection level and should be
drained. If the light stays on and the unit shuts
off, the unit will need to be drained before it will
operate again.
Note: The portable air conditioner has rollers
to aid placement, but should only be rolled on
smooth and level surfaces. Do not attempt to
roll the portable air conditioner on carpet or over
objects.
• To ensure proper cooling, do not kink or pinch
the duct. An excessive number of bends in the
exhaust hose may compromise the cooling
performance.
• To attach the exhaust hose to the back of the
air conditioner, push it into the exhaust outlet
and twist.
The unit should be drained if it is not going to
be run for an extended period of time. The unit
should also be drained prior to storage at the end
of the cooling season.
Air Filter
The air fi lter is located on the back of the air
conditioner. It should be checked and cleaned at
least every 30 days, or more often if necessary.
To remove air fi lter, grasp the tab and gently
pull the fi lter up and out. Wash it in warm soapy
water.
