1.5ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded (3-prong) outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

In the U.S. only: If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is mandatory that the ground path is adequate.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure if the portable air conditioner is grounded.

A three-wire, single-phase, 60Hz AC only, electrical supply is required on a separate circuit. See model and serial label for circuit amperage required for your specific model.

If the portable air conditioner has a serial plate rating 115 Volts and up to and including 7.5 Amps, the unit may conflict with a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices.

HOWEVER, THE MAXIMUM AMPS OF ALL DEVICES ON THAT FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN NOT EXCEED THE AMPS OF THE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.

If the portable air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts and greater than 7.5 Amps it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be operated on that fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE: The label lists the BTU capacity, amperage, voltage and refrigerant charge requirements.

SECTION 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.6 RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this portable air conditioner must be grounded. The portable air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible electrical shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating 3-prong type outlet is not available, it is the consumer's responsibility to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a licensed installer.

It is the customer's responsibility:

•To contact a qualified electrical installer.

•To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymatch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269.

Or your state board of electricity.

1.7 LCDI PLUG TECHNOLOGY (US ONLY)

A Leakage-Current Detect and Interrupt (LCDI) is a device that senses leakage current flowing between or fom the power conductors in an appliance cord and interrupts the circuit as a predetermined level of leakage current. Since an LCDI specifically can detect a current leakage flowing to ground, it provides ground fault protection from arcing and other problems, which arise due to leakage between conductors.

LCDIs are covered under the UL 1699 standard for ARC Fault Current Interrupts, which was first published in June of 2002. LCDI devices have been mandated by the National Electric Code and Underwritten Laboratories for the cordsets on room air conditioners beginning in August 2004. Other classes of appliances will require LCDI protection in the near future.

TESTING

1.Press test button, unit should trip.

2.Press reset button for use.

NOTE: DO NOT USE IF ABOVE TEST FAILS.

In the event this device trips, the cause of the malfunction is to be corrected before use of the device.

CAUTION

The conductors inside this cord are surrounded by shields, which monitor leakage current. THESE SHIELDS ARE NOT GROUNDED. Periodically examine the cord for any damage. DO NOT USE this product in the event the shields become exposed.

WARNING

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

SECTION 4	INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION

•Find a proper place for the portable air conditioner. Leave at least 20” (50.8cm) space around the unit (Fig. 8).

When you use the unit as an air conditioner or a dehumidifier, the hot air must be exhausted out of the room to complete the air exchange of the condenser. When the unit is operating on fan, no outdoor air exchange takes place. You do not need to hookup the window kits and hot air exhaust ducts when you use the unit as a fan.

Figure 8

4.2 INSTALLING THE DUCTS IN A WINDOW/SLIDING DOOR

Figure 9

A)Pull out both ends of the hot air exhaust ducts for approximately 6”/15.24cm.

B)Screw the exhaust ducts clockwise with one end to the terminal end of the back of the unit and the other end to the window kit adapter.

C)Mount the terminal end of the exhaust duct to the back of the unit.

D)Open window or sliding door for approximately 5”/12.7cm.

E)Adjust the length of the window kit to the same length of the window or the sliding door. Use all of the panels if necessary. Cut the window piece as needed to fit the length of your window or sliding door. Make sure that the hole on the main piece is not covered by other pieces.

F)Place the window kit in the window or sliding door. Close the window or door as far as it goes.

G)Adjust the length of exhaust duct and affix the window kit adapter onto the holes on the window kit.

NOTE: When using the window kit on a window or sliding door it will cause the window or sliding door to not be properly closed and/or locked. Additional security measurements should

be taken.

SECTION 4	INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.3 INSTALLING THE DUCTS IN THE WALL

CAUTION

MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATION.

BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY INSTALLATION OF DUCTS INTO WALL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT A KNOWLEDGABLE PROFESSIONAL.

A)You do not need to use window kit adapter. Mount one end of the exhaust duct into a hole of 5.6”/14.22cm in diameter in the wall; attach the other end to the back of the unit (same as above).

B)Use the exhaust outlet wall covers to cover the holes in the wall when the unit is not in use.

NOTE:

Mounting the exhaust pipe

•The supplied exhaust hose can extend from 5.75” to 63” / 40cm to 160cm for mounting. It is recommended that you use the shortest possible length of hose.

•Take care to prevent any kind of bend in the middle of the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air, which will radiate back into the room and affect the cooling function of the unit (Fig. 10).

WARNING

Figure 10

The length of the exhaust pipe is specially designed according to the specification of this product. Do not replace or extend it with your own hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction (Fig. 11).

5.4 WATER FULL INDICATION AND DRAINING

WATER FULL INDICATION:

Under normal temperatures, water will evaporate without the need to drain it from the unit.

The WATER FULL indicator light will turn on during days of extreme humidity, when in Cooling Mode or Soft-Dry Mode. When the WATER FULL indicator light turns on, it means that the water reservoir is full. The compressor will stop working, but both of the two fan motors will continue working. The unit will drain excess water once a Drain Hose or Garden Hose is connected to it. When the WATER FULL indicator light disappears, the compressor will start to work again.

DRAINING:

Only in extreme humidity

1)To add a Drain Hose or Garden Hose you must first stop the unit by turning it OFF. You must then unscrew the Drain Cap on the Pump Drain before inserting the white Drain Hose (5’3”/1.61m) provided with your unit. (Attention: there may be some water behind the Drain Cap. Have a bowl or receptacle ready to catch any runoff).

After connecting the Drain Hose to the inner spout (Fig.15) of the Pump Drain, ensure that the other end is placed in a bucket or receptacle for gathering the excess water. Check the water level in the receptacle to avoid any possibilities of leaking.

Instead of the Drain Hose provided with your unit, you may also use a Garden Hose (in cases where you require a distance longer than that provided by the Drain Hose). In this case screw the female end of a Garden Hose to the outer threaded spout of the Pump Drain (Fig.16). After connecting the Garden Hose, place the outer end outside of the house or in a convenient area where the excess water can be safely expelled.

2)Now, turn the unit ON and back to its previous setting (either COOLING or SOFT-DRY mode). The Pump Drain will begin to pump water out of the unit. (If using a water bucket, please check the expelled water level to ensure that it does not over flow.) Once the WATER FULL light indicator turns off … the DRAIN cycle is complete. At this point, turn OFF the unit, remove the Drain Hose or Garden Hose and then turn the unit back ON and to its previous setting (COOLING or SOFT-DRY mode).

NOTE: The cooling efficiency of your unit will be affected if the Drain Hose or the Garden Hose is always attached to it. The Drain Hose or Garden Hose must be used only when the WATER FULL indicator is on.

MAKE SURE THAT THE DRAIN CAP IS REINSTALLED PROPERLY TO PREVENT LEAKING.
