plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are not sure whether the wall outlets in your home

are properly grounded, please consult an electrician. Do not use plug adapters or extension

cords with this unit. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use with heavy appliance

Energy Saving Tips

• Please use the unit in the recommended room size. (Refer to www.spt-usa.com).

• Do not locate the air conditioner where furniture or other objects can obstruct the airflow.

• Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper and floor or wall grills so that cool air does not escape through

the chimney or ductwork.

• Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible.

• If unit is to be operated throughout the day, turn on the unit early, before the noon heat hits.

• It is highly recommended to turn on the air conditioner when the room temperature is

around 75°F. Do not wait until the room gets excess ively hot.

• Keep the filters clean.

Single Hose vs. Dual Hose

Single Hose: draws indoor air for both front cold air output and exhaust air (to cool compressor).

PROS: CONS:

Dual Hose: draws indoor air for front cold air output and outdoor air for exhaust air.

PROS:

CONS:

• Fresh air is exchanged

• Fresh air will delay the speed of ambient temperature drop

• If outside temperature is lower than ambient, compressor cools down faster

and produces colder air output

• Ambient temperature drops quickly

• Same air circulating within the room, resulting in decreased oxygen level

and increased carbon dioxide

• If outside temperature is too high, compressor cannot be cooled – resulting in increased temperature of front air output.

NOTE: It is suggested to remove the air intake hose and use as single hose system when outside temperature is over 95°F.

Installation Instructions

Selecting the best location

• Best to place the unit near a window, patio door or French window. The shorter you can keep the intake/exhaust hoses, the more efficient the unit will run.

• Keep a minimum space of 20 inches between the back of the unit to the wall or other obstacles.

Installing instructions

1. Install the adapters and window exhaust adapters to the hoses.

2. Fix the adapter end of the hose to the unit.

3. Extend the hose to the destined window/door to insure enough clearance.

4. Attach hose to slider kit

5. Repeat above steps for the other hose.

6. Install the slider kit to the window / door and adjust height accordingly. There are small openings on the side of the slider kit. Once the desire height is set, insert a small screw (not supplied) to keep in place.

• Do not block the air outlet or intake with protective grid, curtain, shutter or other obstacles.

• Keep a minimum clearance of 8” between the ends of air hoses.

• Try to keep the air hoses as straight as possible, as in Figure 3.

Installation Sequence

1. Select a suitable location, with easy access to an electrical outlet.

2. Install the flexible air hoses and adjustable slider kit as depicted in Figure 3.

• For COOLING mode, please install both the air intake and air

exhaust hose. Cooling capacity will decrease when using single air hose. However, to prevent compressor from overheating, when outdoor temperature is 35°C (95°F) or above, remove the air intake hose.

• For DRY mode, remove air intake hose and install only the air exhaust hose.

2. For FAN and HEATER (Heating models), no hose installation required.

3. Plug unit to a grounded electrical outlet. Please select an appropriate power supply based on the requirements on the nameplate.
