INSTALLATION  
SELECTING THE LOCATION  
Place the unit in a flat location where the air out-  
lets are not obstructed. Place the unit at least  
20” (50cm) away from a wall or other obstacle.  
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE  
Slide the square end of the exhaust duct over the  
hot air outlet on the back of the unit.  
The exhaust hose should be kept as short and  
straight as possible. Prevent any sharp bends in  
the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air.  
The hot exhaust air can be vented through the  
wall or out a window. If mounting in the wall, the  
height of the hole should be 16 to 50 inches  
(40cm to 130cm).  
Soleus Air does not provide a venting kit for  
through the wall ventilation. Venting through the  
wall requires a custom installation.  
NOTE: The Portable Air Conditioner above may differ from the unit described in this manual. The above directions and images  
show general directions for all Soleus Air single hose portable air conditioners.

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 Soleus Air 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.

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, unscrew the screw  
plug at the bottom right side (when facing the front) 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 holds 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.  
To resume operation quickly, empty the water container according to the following steps:  
1. Turn the unit off. Do not move the unit when the water container is full.  
2. Place the drain pan accessory under the drainage port at the back of the unit.  
3. Remove the screw plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically. When the  
drain pan is full, screw the screw plug back onto the drainage hole to stop the water flow. Empty the drain  
pan. Repeat until all the water is emptied.  
Once the water container has been emptied, screw the plug back onto the drain hole. Do not allow the  
water to drip continuously into the drain pan, as it might easily overflow.
