FEATURES AND COMPONENTS
This air conditioner features cooling, dehumidification, fan-only, and continuous water
drainage functions.
The air louvers in top of the unit have an automatic air swing function that is activated
from the remote control
The remote control can be placed on the back of the body for convenient out of the
way storage.
Handles on both sides make unit easier to carry.
The plug storage plate enables the plug to be inserted into the back of the unit

Operation of the unit provides continuous air filtration.
The Timer function provides for automatic shutoff and delayed starting.
The unit is equipped with a variety of protection functions, such as automatic
defrosting and a water pan overflow signal.
The unit features thermostatic operation. The thermostat senses the temperature of the
air surrounding the unit. When the air reaches the set cooling temperature, the
compressor shuts off and the fan continues to run at low speed. When the surrounding
air temperature increases by approximately 2⁰F, the compressor restarts to cool the air
to the set temperature.
The dehumidification mode combines compressor operation and low fan speed to
reduce humidity in damp rooms. Keep room doors and windows closed for effective
dehumidification. The fan speed cannot be varied when the unit is set to dehumidify.
The display screen will show dh; it will not show the relative humidity percentage of
the air.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Air Exhaust Hose Installation
The couplers for the inlet and outlet ends of the air
exhaust hose are shipped preattached to the hose.
Ensure that they are securely screwed into place on
the hose before hose installation.
1. Insert the hose inlet end coupler into the air
exhaust vent. Turn coupler in the direction of
the Lock arrows (counterclockwise) to secure
the coupler in place. See Fig. 1.
2. Position the flared opening of the hose outlet
over the elliptical opening in slider piece 1.
3. Push the tabs at the top of the flared outlet into
the slots on slider piece 1. Slide the hose outlet
to the side so that the tabs engage in the slots.
4. Use a screw to secure the flared outlet to slider
piece 1 on the side of the elliptical opening that
will be nearest to the window frame.
5. Insert slider piece 2 into piece 1 and push until tight
against the flared outlet ridge protruding through the
elliptical opening. You may need to trim material off of
the inner end of piece 2 to fit the width of the window opening.
NOTE: If the window is narrower than 20.5”, use only slider piece 1. Shorten the
piece by cutting material from the end that is furthest from the hole. Do not cut
from the end that is nearest to the hole.
Position Unit Near Window
IMPORTANT! Before using the air conditioner, keep it upright for at least two hours.
The four casters on the air conditioner base allow it to be easily pushed in an upright
position across a level floor. There are handles on each side of the unit to allow it to
be lifted straight up if necessary.
CAUTION! To avoid injury, use proper lifting technique when lifting the unit by its
handles. Do not bend over from waist with legs straight. Bend knees down to lift
