at least 20” away from any walls or other obstacles. Your unit is ready to begin operation.
WALL AIR EXHAUST PORT MOUNTING
If you have an existing air exhaust port you can directly connect your portable air conditioning unit to the port. For the best energy eiciency and to preserve the longest life of
your unit, avoid bending the hose and keep the exhaust hose length as short as possible.
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS
–8–
The hose bending point should be at least 24” away from the unit for optimal performance. Avoid any kinks or sharp bends.
REVERSING INTAKE/OUTPUT
You can reverse the inlet and exhaust port on your portable unit to send cold air via the
exhaust outlet. This type of installation may be practical when installing the portable unit
in a garage and blowing cold air inside the house via a duct.
Simply swap the air outflow grille and the exhaust air mount as illustrated below.
Keep in mind that cooling is not recommended when the ambient temperature fallow
below 65°F (18°C) or above 95°F (35°C).
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
To remove your air conditioning unit, follow these instructions:
• Turn the unit o and unplug the power cord.
• Remove the window curtain lock and the air exhaust adapter by twisting on the
hose in a clockwise rotation.
• Re-insert the hose into the storage area contained beneath the air exhaust cover.
• Store the unit in a flat, dry, level place and include all installation parts and this
manual with the unit.
WATER DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS
All air conditioner units produce water via condensation and discharges the moisture
through the hot-air exhaust. Under heavy loads, the exhaust discharge is insuicient and
the unit stores water in an internal collection tank.
When the FULL indicator light illuminates on your unit, the cooling will stop immediately.
Follow these steps to place your air conditioner unit back in service:
1. Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the exhaust hose and transport the unit to
a drain location or outdoors on a level surface such as your driveway.
2. Remove the stopper from the base of the unit and let the water drain. Do not excessively tip or drop the unit.
3. Once the internal collection tank is emptied, re-insert the tank stopper.
ENGLISHESPAÑOLFRANÇAIS
–9–
4. Place the unit back in the desired location, reconnect the exhaust hose and plug
in the electrical power cord.
5. Restart normal cooling operation of your unit.
NOTE: The internal tank capacity is approximately 1.5 liters when full.
CONTINUOUS WATER DRAINAGE
In high-humidity climates a continuous water drainage system is an optimal solution.
With an optional drainage hose (sold separately), the unit can be placed near a drain, a
large collection tank, or outdoors.
1. Open the partition plate plug.
2. Connect the hose the the partition plate joint and lead it carefully to the floor drain.
3. Ensure the hose is placed downward with no kinks or bends; the air conditioner unit
relies on gravity to properly drain and can not be elevated.
CARING FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
IMPORTANT: Before performing any maintenance, ensure the air conditioner unit is
turned o and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
A dirty air filter reduces your unit performance significantly and increases your cooling
costs! Follow the following steps to clean the air filter:
1. Grasp the hook on the bottom to remove the air filter, pulling in the direction of
the arrows.
2. Wash the filters by immersing them into soapy, lukewarm water.
3. Rinse the filter with clean water and dry it in a shaded place. Do not expose the
filters to direct sunlight as they can melt or deform!
