The cooling capacity is measured at an ambient temperature of DB 95 °F, WB 83 °F.  
Noise level is measured at a distance of 3.28 ft away from the front of the unit, when the unit is in cooling mode.  
Power consumption is measured when the fan runs at the highest speed setting.  
These specifications are for reference only. For actual data, please refer to the rating label on the back of the unit.  
If the environment temperature is higher than the max operating temperature or lower than the minimum operating  
temperature, the air conditioner may not work properly.

LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG  
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and  
plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord  
with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.  
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the  
nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value.  
The cord will remain de-energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk  
of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must  
be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed  
metal.  
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test:  
1. Plug power cord into wall outlet  
2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner  
3. Press RESET button for use  
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air  
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Mobile Comfort Customer Service for troubleshooting  
recommendations.

TEST  
WARNING:  
1. DO NOT press the TEST button while the air conditioner is operating.  
2. The TEST and RESET buttons should not be used as ONand OFFswitches.  
3. The cord and plug are not intended to offer protection to externally connected loads or supply circuits.  
4. The cord and plug are intended for indoor use only.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION  
INSTALLATION  
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the window kit and exhaust hose must be installed.  
When the unit is operating in fan mode, the window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed .  
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE  
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 hose 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.  
Mount the exhaust hose onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.  
For maximum efficiency do not bend the hose as much as possible.

SINGLE HOSE WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION  
This installation is OK  
The is a poor installation  
22”  
When installing the exhaust hose, try and keep it as flat as possible. The less angles and bends  
in the hose, the better the unit will perform. If bending or an angle is necessary, use single 90°  
angles like the pictures above. Multiple bends will decrease performance and efficiency

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)  
Sleep Mode - Press the SLEEP mode button to engage SLEEP mode. Sleep mode automatically reduces  
the set temperature by 2°F after one hour and 4°F after two hours. This feature limits compressor usage  
and enhances energy savings while you are sleeping.  
Auto Mode - When AUTO mode is selected the air conditioner will automatically choose the operating  
mode base on the current room temperature. When the room is below 68°F the air conditioner will  
automatically fan the room to circulate air. When the room temperature is between 68°F-73°F the air  
conditioner will operate in Fan mode if it was previously selected or dehumidifier mode (if another mode  
was used previously) to remove humidity from the air as well as some cooling to help lower the room  
temperature. When the room temperature is between 74°F-79°F the air conditioner will always operate in  
dehumidifier mode. When the room temperature rises above 79°F, the unit will operate in air conditioner  
mode to maximize cooling. Auto mode uses pre-determined settings to keep you comfortable by choosing  
the most energy efficient mode based on the temperature of the room.

DRAINING COLLECTED WATER  
When the temperature or humidity is too high, the air conditioner may not be able to evaporate all of the water  
as quickly as needed. All moisture that is unable to be evaporated is placed in a small bank up water tank in-  
side the unit. When this tank is completely full, an alarm will sound, the compressor will shut off, and the  
bucket full icon will light up on the control panel. To manually empty the tank, please follow the instructions  
below.
