ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION  
INSTALLATION  
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the unit draws in fresh outdoor air and exhausts hot air  
out of the room to complete the air exchange. When the unit is operating in fan or heater modes, 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 or heater.  
NOTE: The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 8 ft. long  
(approximate length).  
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSES  
Choose a suitable location, near a grounded electrical outlet and suitable window or door. Remove  
packaging and locate components.  
Extend both ends of the exhaust hoses approximately 6 inches.  
Screw the window kit adapter onto one end of the exhaust hose clockwise. Screw the hose adapter onto  
the other end of the exhaust hose clockwise. Repeat on the other exhaust hose.  
Remove outlet covers from the back of the unit by screwing them counter-clockwise, then lifting up.  
Mount the exhaust hoses onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.

6) Select the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button.  
NOTE: During hot days, the unit will cool the room most efficiently by setting the temperature at the lowest  
setting and the fan speed on high. Reducing the length of the exhaust duct, insulating the exhaust hose and  
window kit, and keeping direct sunlight to a minimum will also improve the cooling efficiency.

” appears on the control panel display.  
NOTE: The unit operates at low fan speed during dehumidifier mode. The unit cools room slightly during  
the dehumidification. Keep the windows and doors closed to aid the effectiveness of the unit in removing the  
moisture from the room.  
NOTE: The unit will not perform in dehumidifier mode when the room temperature is lower than 61°F .  
Fan Mode

temperature for 6 hours. After 6 hours the temperature setting will return to the set temperature.  
5) When in Heating mode, the temperature setting will gradually decrease to 2°F below the original set tem-  
perature for 6 hours. After 6 hours, the temperature setting will return to the set temperature.

Compressor Indicator  
The “  
” icon will light up on the control panel display when the compressor turns on. The “  
” icon will  
turn off when the compressor shuts off.  
Emergency Condensate Holding 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 emergency  
condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automatically shut  
off and the “  
” will appear on the control panel display. To empty the condensate tank, pull the drain plug  
at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1” high to catch the water coming out  
of the condensate tank. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few minutes.  
The emergency condensate tank is approximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to purchase a small  
hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 5/8” drain plug on the back of the unit and drain the unit into  
a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage. It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the  
room temperature is higher than 90°F .
