ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS  
1)  
Exhaust Duct  
When you use the unit as an air conditioner, the hot exhaust air must be directed out of the  
room. The exhaust duct is required to allow the hot air out of the room through a window.  
DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE EXHAUST DUCT WHEN THE UNIT IS  
OPERATED AS A DEHUMIDIFIER OR FAN.  
Slide “Unit Terminal End” of the exhaust  
connector completely over the “Hot Air Outlet  
Grill” on the rear of the unit. Plastic grooves  
are located on the hot air outlet help to guide  
the exhaust connector into place.  
Window Kit Mounting: Connect the window  
kit adapter to the external end of the exhaust  
duct. The exhaust duct is now ready to be  
attached to the window kit. See page 7 for  
window kit installation  
Wall Mounting: Mount the external end of the  
exhaust duct to a 5¼” hole within the wall.  
Creating a hole into a wall is a separate  
procedure that may require professional  
installation.  
6
NOTE: In order to achieve maximum room cooling efficiency, the exhaust duct should  
remain as short and straight as possible. To further shorten the exhaust hose, first unthread  
either exhaust duct adapter clockwise to remove it. Then cut the hose to desired length. It  
is not recommended to increase the manufacturer’s length of the exhaust hose. This may  
reduce the cooling efficiency or damage the unit.  
2)  
Window Kit Installation  
a. Open window approximately  
5 inches (13 cm)  
b. Adjust the length of the window kit  
to the same length of the window; use both  
panels if necessary. The window kit  
has a maximum length 50.5 inches.  
c. Place the window kit between the window  
and the window frame as shown in the  
picture to the right. Close the window onto  
the window kit to form a tight seal.  
d. Attach the exhaust duct window kit adapter  
to the window kit. Tabs located on the  
adapter will lock into place securing the  
adapter to the window kit.  
NOTE: Using the window kit will cause the window not to be properly closed and locked.  
Additional security measurements should be taken.

CONDENSATE WATER DRAINAGE  
1)  
Internal Water Bucket  
When operating in cooling or dehumidifying mode, the condensate water will drain into  
the internal water bucket. Depending on the surrounding humidity, the unit can  
continuously operate for 2 to 12 hours before the internal water bucket is full. When the  
internal water bucket becomes full, the red “Water Full” light located on the front of the  
unit will flash. The compressor will stop, but the fan will continue to run at the set speed.  
To empty the water bucket:  
a. Turn the unit off.  
b. Remove water bucket slowly and discard  
the water inside the bucket.  
c. Place the bucket back to its original position  
d. Turn the unit on  
*The drain bucket may be emptied before it is full. First turn off the unit, then wait  
3 minutes before removing the water bucket to prevent the condensate water from  
discharging into the unit.  
NOTE: If you remove the water bucket while the unit is operating in cooling or dehumidifying  
mode the red “Water Full” Light will flash and the compressor will stop. Once the drain bucket is  
placed back in the unit, the compressor will remain off for approximately 3 minutes before  
restarting the cooling or dehumidifying cycle.  
2)  
Continuous Drainage  
The unit can operate on continuous drainage mode. When the unit is operating on continuous  
drainage mode, condensate water will not drain into the internal water bucket. Condensate water  
14  
is discharged by gravity through a drainage tube (12” length) to either an external hose (not  
included) or to a condensate water pump device (not included). When the unit is operating on  
continuous drainage mode, it can operate continuously without periodic stops to empty the water  
bucket.  
To allow continuous drainage:  
a. Remove the water bucket from the cabinet.  
b. Find the tube hanging beside the water  
bucket inside of the cabinet.  
c. Remove the plug from the end of the tube.  
d. Connect the drainage tubing to a hose. Use a clamp  
or adapter (not provided) if necessary  
e. Place the other end of the hose into either an external  
water bucket, a floor drain or the intake side of a  
condensate water pump.  
NOTE: When using the continuous drainage method, the unit will NOT shut off  
automatically when an external water bucket is full. Spill water can cause substantial damages  
to carpet, floors, furniture and other valuables.  
NOTE: Do not use a lengthy drainage hose without a condensate water pump as water may  
overflow into the internal drain bucket which requires periodic manual drainage  
MAINTENANCE  
Note: Before performing any maintenance activities turn the unit off and remove  
the power plug from the power outlet.  
15  
1)  
Clean or Replace Filter  
a. If the air filter is clogged, the airflow volume  
will decrease, reducing cooling efficiency. It is  
recommended to clean the filter once a month or  
as needed.  
b. Push down the tab on the filter cover and pull  
outwards to remove the entire filter and cover.  
c. Carefully remove the air filter from the filter cover.  
d. Wash the air filter by immersing it gently into warm  
water with a mild detergent.  
e. Rinse the filter thoroughly and dry it in a shaded place.  
f. Attach the filter to the filter cover with the  
attachment hooks located on the inside surface of the cover
g. Place the bottom of the filter cover into the holes  
in the unit case. Push the cover back into its  
original position.  
2)  
Case  
a. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight as case color may fade.  
b. Clean surface area with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft towel.  
c. Do not use abrasive cleaning products.  
3)  
Storing the Unit for an Extended Period of Time or Transporting  
a. Unplug the unit from the power outlet.  
b. Ensure that the water bucket is empty.  
c. If using continuous drainage, disconnect any external drain hose and  
cap the end of the internal drain tube.  
d. Store and transport unit in an upright position. Store unit in a cool dry  
place.
