WINDOW VENTING KIT OPTIONAL WINDOW SECURITY BRACKET ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION When the unit is operating in air conditioning mode, the unit draws in indoor air and exhausts hot air out of the room to complete the air exchange. The Window Kit must be installed when operating the unit in air conditioning, dehu-
midification and heating modes. When the unit is operating in Fan Mode, no outdoor air exchange takes place. The window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed when the unit is used as a fan. The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 7 ft. long
(approximate length). When installed, be sure to keep the exhaust hose and short and straight as possible for maximum efficiency. 2

The tempera-
ture ranges from 61F - 88F. 6) Select the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN SPEED button. NOTE: During hot days, the unit will cool the room most efficiently by setting the temperature at the low-
est setting and the fan speed on high. Reducing the length of the exhaust duct, insulating the ex-
haust hose and window kit, and keeping direct sunlight to a minimum will also improve the cool-
ing efficiency. NOTE: When the unit is running on air conditioning mode, the exhaust hose is required and must be vented outside using the supplied window kit.

The tempera-
ture ranges from 61F - 88F. 6) Select the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN SPEED button. NOTE: When the unit is running on Heat mode, the exhaust hose is required and must be vented outside using the supplied window kit. NOTE: Switching from Heat mode to Turbo cool is not allowed due to the protection of compressor. Dehumidifier Mode 1) Install the exhaust hose and window kit properly (see pages &). 2) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. 3) Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER Button. 4) Press the MODE button until the dehumidifier mode indicator lights up on the control panel display. 5) Temperature indicator displays room temperature NOTE: The unit operates at low fan speed during dehumidifier mode.

ing the dehumidification process. Keep the windows and doors closed to aid the effectiveness of the unit in removing the moisture from the room. NOTE: When the unit is running on dehumidifier mode, the exhaust hose is required and must be vented outside using the supplied window kit. NOTE: The unit will not perform in de-
humidifier mode when the room temper-
ature is lower than 50F .

grees. NOTE: Switching from Auto mode to Turbo cool is not allowed due to the protection of compressor. Sleep Mode 1) Install the exhaust hose and window kit properly (see pages &). 2) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. 3) Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button on the control panel. 4) Press the MODE button until the sleep mode indicator lights up on the control panel display. NOTE: When in SLEEP mode, the fan will run on low to keep fan noise at a minimum. The temperature setting will gradually increase to 2F above the original set temperature each of first 2 hours. The unit will keep operating the same temperature until the sleep mode is turned off. Fan Mode 1) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. 2) Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button on the control panel. 3) Press the MODE button until the fan mode indicator lights up on the control panel display. 4) Select the fan speed by pressing the FAN SPEED button.

BUCKET FULL INDICATOR When the Internal Water Tank is full, the Bucket Full light will illuminate and the unit will automatically shut down. The air conditioner will resume normal operation once Internal Water Tank is emptied. INTERNAL WATER TANK When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an internal water tank inside the unit. The internal water tank holds approximately 1.5 liters of water. When this tanks becomes full, the unit will automatically shutdown and illuminate the Bucket Full indicator. HOW TO INSTALL CONTINUOUS DRAIN OPTION:
1. Place the Portable AC on a level surface. 2. Remove the cap on continuous drain port on the back of the unit to access the Continuous Drain Port. 3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the accessible Continuous Drain Port. 4. Lead Garden Hose to a floor drain and cut to length. 5. Make sure that there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose (Fig 15.1). 6. Turn on the unit and gravity draining will begin automatically. Fig 15.1

HOW TO DRAIN THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
*You will need a small pan, approximately 1 high to catch the water coming out of the water tank. Once the water tank is empty, the unit will resume operation within a few minutes. 1. Do not move the unit when the water container is full. (Water will spill out) 2. Place a small pan under the condensation drain hole on the bottom side of the unit. 3. Remove the drain plug from the condensation drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automati-
4. When the drain pan is full, install the drain plug back onto the condensation drain hole to stop the water cally. flow. 5. Empty the drain pan. 6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the water is emptied. NOTE: Once the condensate tank has been emptied, firmly press the drain plug back onto the condensa-
tion drain hole (Fig 16.1). It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the room temperature is higher than 90F. Fig 16.1 NOTE: You may also use enclosed Optional Drain Tube to facilitate the draining process, make sure to re-
plug the Drain Stopper once the condensation tank has been emptied (Fig 16.2). Fig 16.2
