DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or possible death, please follow the following precautions:

• DO NOT use an extension cord.

• This unit must be properly grounded.

• DO NOT cut or remove the ground prong on the plug.

• If there is any doubt that the outlet is not properly grounded, a qualified electrician should check the outlet and circuit, and install a properly grounded outlet if necessary.

• The air conditioner must be plugged into a grounded 60 Hz, 115V AC outlet protected by a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

• This air conditioner must be installed in accordance with local and national wiring codes.

IMPORTANT - GROUNDING METHOD

Electrical Safety

For additional safety, the power cord features an integrated circuit breaker. Test and reset buttons are provided on the plug case.

The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button. If it does not cause the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner immediately and contact your service technician

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging the appliance into the main outlet, check that:

• The main power supply corresponds to the recommended electrical requirements indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance.

• The power outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.

• The main outlet matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced.

• The main outlet is adequately grounded. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2012/19/EU:

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a local authority waste collection

center or to a dealer providing this service. Appropriate disposal of a household appliance prevents possible environmental and health concerns and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Grounding Method

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use.

ue to potential safety hazards, the use of an adapter plug is

strongly discouraged.

To prevent damage to the adapter 's ground terminal, hold the adapter in place while plugging in or unplugging the air conditioner.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.

LOCATION

• The unit should be placed on a ﬁrm foundation to minimize noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level ﬂoor strong enough to support the unit.

• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, ﬂat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpeted surfaces. Use caution and protect ﬂoors when rolling over wood ﬂoors. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.

• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.

• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.

• Allow at least 17.5" (45cm) of space away from the wall for efﬁcient air conditioning.

• The hose can be extended, but it is the best to keep the length to a minimum of 15.7" (40cm). Also make sure that the hose does not have any sharp bends or sags.

Continuous Draining (Fig.28) While using the unit in dehumidiﬁer mode, continuous

drainage is recommended.

1. Unplug the unit from the power source.

2. Remove the drain plug. Water may drip/spill after the plug is removed. Have a pan ready to collect any residual water.

3. Unscrew the drain cap of continuous drain outlet.

4. Connect one end of the garden hose (sold separately) or drainage hose (not supplied) to the drain outlet then lead the other end into a drain or bucket that is lower than the unit.

5. Turn on the unit.

Middle Drainage

When running the unit in Dry mode, you can choose the way to drain:

1. Unplug the unit from the power source.

2. Remove the drain cap (Fig.27). While doing this operation some residual water may spill so please have a pan to collect the water.

3. Connect the drain hose (1/2" or 12.7mm, not supplied) (Fig.28).

5. Turn on the unit.

Fig. 26

Do not cover the appliance

WATER DRAINAGE METHOD

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the appliance stops running and shows (FULL TANK as mentioned in SELF-DIAGNOSIS). This indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

Manual Draining (Fig.27) Water may need to be drained if running in dehumidify mode

or if the unit is operating in Cool mode and running under very hot/humid conditions for a prolonged period of time.

1. Unplug the unit from power source.

2. Place a drain pan under the lower drain plug. See diagram.

3. Remove the lower drain cap.

Water will drain out and collect in the drain pan (not supplied).

After the water is drained, replace the lower drain plug ﬁrmly.

6. Turn on the unit.
