1.5 ELECTRICAL 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.
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.

1.6 RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
SECTION 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
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.

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.
10
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 9
SECTION 4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
11
4.3 INSTALLING THE DUCTS IN THE WALL
Figure 11
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).
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).
C) After installing the ducts, plug in the unit and turn the unit on.

5.4 WATER FULL INDICATION AND DRAINING
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.
6.2 CLEANING OR REPLACING THE AIR FILTER
If the air filter is blocked with a lot of dust, the volume of airflow will be reduced and the cooling
effect will be lower. It is recommended to clean the filter once every two weeks or as needed.
A) Pull out the filter from the filter compartment in front of the unit.
B) Wash the air filter by immersing it gently into warm (about 104°F/40°C) water with a gentle
detergent. Rinse the filter and dry it thoroughly in a shaded place.
C) Place the filter back into the filter compartment after it is thoroughly dried.
D) If the filter is torn or unusable, order a new filter by calling the Sunbeam Customer Service
department at 1-877-383-6399 (8:30am-5:30pm E.S.T.).
