INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Soleus Air KY-34 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Heater. This unit is designed to improve indoor living and working comfort by providing cooling, dehumidifying, heating, and ventilation with minimal installation.

This multi-functional unit operates as an air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater, and fan. Unlike traditional portables, there is no bucket to empty. The condensate water is evaporated and removed through the exhaust duct along with the warm exhaust air. When operating as an air conditioner, this unit is designed for spot cooling or cooling a room no larger than 550 square feet with a standard eight foot ceiling height. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions.

Other air conditioning methods are recommended when the indoor temperature is either below 64°F or above 86°F.

Please complete the following information for future reference. Retain this owner’s manual with your sales receipt as a permanent record of your purchase.

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

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

3. Press RESET button for use

If a test is performed and the indicator light remains 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.
