LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord
and plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexi­ble cord with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.

The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the
nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined
value. The cord will remain de-energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to re­duce the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded
and they must be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground
or to any exposed metal.

The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test:

1. Plug power cord into wall outlet. The LED light will turn on.

2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner. When this occurs,

3. Press RESET button to restore power to the machine. Once power is restored, the LED light

will turn on again.

If test button is pressed and unit can still be turned on, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the
air conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Soleus Air Customer Service for troubleshooting
recommendations.

WARNING:

1. DO NOT press the TEST button while the air conditioner is operating.

2. The TEST and RESET buttons should not be used as “ON” and “OFF” switches.

3. The cord and plug are not intended to offer protection to externally connected loads or supply circuits.

4. The cord and plug are intended for indoor use only.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Window Preparation

Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If
a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.

Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made
to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed
screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.

Storm Window Requirements

A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To
adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”.
Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 2).

Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner

1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees, or
awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.

2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate
(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to
reach.

3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when remov­ing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.
