Your air conditioner should be used in such a way
that it is protected from moisture (i.e. condensation, splashed water, etc.). Do not place your air
conditioner where it can fall or be pulled into water
or any other liquid. If the unit does ever fall into water, unplug immediately.
Always transport your air conditioner in a vertical

Locate the unit where furniture cannot obstruct the air flow.
Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day (cooling mode).
Keep the filters clean.
Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and warm air out (cooling mode)
or keep warm air in and cool air out (heating mode for units with heat function).
Never do this
Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a
bathroom or laundry room.
Do not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or when
barefoot.
Do not press the buttons on the control panel with anything
other than your fingers.
Do not remove any fixed covers. Never use this appliance if it is not working properly or if it has been dropped
or damaged. Never use the plug to start and stop the unit. (Always use
the switch on the control panel to power the unit on and off.) Do not cover or obstruct the inlet or outlet grilles. Do not use hazardous chemicals to clean or come into contact with the unit.

Note: Flat mouth adaptor and vent joint must be threaded counter clockwise onto the exhaust hose. Extend both ends of the exhaust hose 1-2 inches before installing these pieces onto the exhaust hose.
1. Install the vent joint and flat mouth adaptor onto the exhaust hose as shown in Fig. 16. Refer to the previous pages for window kit installation.
2. Slide the exhaust hose into the air outlet opening in the direction
depicted by the arrow in Fig. 17.
The exhaust hose can be installed into the wall
(Not applicable to the unit without wall exhaust adaptor A, round mouth adaptor B, expansion plugs and wooden screws. These parts are not included. They are sold separately. Contact customer service.)
1. Prepare a hole in the wall. Install the wall exhaust adaptor A onto the wall (outside) by using 4 expansion plugs and wooden screws; screw in tightly. See Fig. 18.
2. Attach round mouth adaptor B to the end of the exhaust hose
(instead of the flat mouth adaptor); connect round mouth
adaptor B and wall exhaust adaptor A.
Note: Cover the hole using the adaptor cap when not in use.

The duct can be compressed or extended moderately
according to the installation requirements, but it is desirable to keep the duct length to a minimum.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OVER BEND THE DUCT. See Fig. 19.
CAUTION:
Make sure that there is no obstacle around the air outlet of the exhaust hose (in the range of 20 in (500 mm)) in order for the exhaust system to work properly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Water drainage:
Remove the drain plug
- During dehumidifying modes, remove the drain plug from the back of the unit and attach 3/4” vinyl tube included with the unit (5/8” outer diameter). For the models without drain connector, just
attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor. See Fig. 20 & 21.
Fig.20
Fig.21
Continuous drain hose
- When the water level of the bottom tray reaches
a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times and
the digital display area shows "P1". At this time the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal).
Carefully move the unit to a drain location,
remove the bottom drain plug and let the
water drain away (Fig. 22). Restart the machine
until the "P1" symbol disappears. If the P1 symbol will not clear after following the above instructions and waiting a few minutes after restarting
the machine, call customer service.
NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.

Fig. 24
- Removal
This unit has two filters. Take the upper filter out along the arrow direction as shown in Fig. 23. Remove the lower filter by loosening the screw and taking out the filter as shown in Fig. 23.
- Cleaning Wash the air filter by immersing it gently in warm water
(about 104OF/40OC) with a mild detergent. Rinse the filter and dry it in a cool, dry place.
- Mounting Install the upper and lower air filters after cleaning as shown in Fig. 24. Be sure to use the screw for the lower filter.
NOTE: The upper grille and upper air filter are connected and can be separated
. The same is true for the lower grille
and lower air filter.
2. Unit enclosure
- Use a lint-free cloth soaked with mild detergent to clean the unit enclosure. Finish by using a dry, clean cloth
.
3. Unit idle for a long time
- Remove the rubber plug at the back of the unit and attach
a hose to drain outlet. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor or over a
shallow pan (if no floor drain is available.) (See Fig. 21 & 22.)
- Remove the plug from the bottom drain outlet; all of the water
in the bottom tray will drain out (See Fig. 22.)
- Keep the appliance running on FAN mode for half a day in a warm room to dry the appliance inside and prevent mold from forming.
- Stop the appliance and unplug it. Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
- Clean the air filter and reinstall it.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• Verify that all doors, windows, curtains and any other openings are closed off. Verify nothing is obstructing the airflow to/from the unit and louvers such as curtains, etc.
• Allow enough time for room to cool, especially if outside temp is very high.
• Check that the filter is not dirty and louvers are open all the way and blowing in the direction desired.
• Check that unit is set to Cool Mode and that temperature is down enough (but not too low).
• If unit is near a heat source, such as a stove, etc., then relocate unit.
• If air coming from unit is cool to the touch, then unit is working properly; please double check the first three bullet points above.
• If using Follow Me remote feature, move remote away from unit.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Follow Reset instructions on plug.

• Outdoor temperature is below 64ºF (18ºC). To defrost the coil, set to Fan Only mode.
• Air filter may be dirty. Clean filter. Refer to Care and Maintenance section. To defrost, set to Fan Only mode.
• Thermostat is set too cold for night-time cooling. To defrost the coil, set to Fan Only mode. Then, set temperature to a higher setting.
• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the louvers.
• Make sure there is no dirt or debris inside the unit or on the filters.
• Reset circuit breaker. Make sure there are not too many items (ie lamps, TV’s, etc.) working off the same breaker.
• Check plug connection.
• If plug is operating on an on/off switch, be sure that the switch is ‘on’.
• Try plugging unit into another outlet.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Follow Reset instructions on plug.
• Make sure there are enough available amps on the circuit for the air conditioner.
• Large units which run on a 230v will require a dedicated 20 or 30 amp circuit.
• Check to be sure the unit is free from debris. Verify nothing is obstructing the unit.
• Check the fan blade for cracks or chips.
• Make sure the window slider kit is properly and securely mounted inside the window.
• Clean the air filter.
REMOTE SENSING / FOLLOW ME DEACTIVATING PREMATURELY
• Remote control not located within range. Place remote control within 20 ft and 180º radius of the front of the unit.
• Remote control signal obstructed. Remove obstruction.
NOTE: A highly recommended troubleshoot for any issue in general consists of turning off unit and unplugging for 5 minutes. It is also recommended to try another wall outlet.
