INSTALLATION  
SELECTING THE LOCATION  
Place the unit on a flat surface in an area where  
the outlets are not obstructed. Place the unit at  
least 20” away from all adjacent walls.  
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE  
Slide the square front 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 and cause  
the unit to run less efficiently.  
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).

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.  
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.

2) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.  
3) Turn on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel.  
4) Press the Mode button until the “COOL” icon appears on the LCD display  
5) Press the or buttons until the desired room temperature appears on the control panel  
display. The temperature ranges from 61°F - 86°F (16 °C - 31 °C).  
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.  
NOTE: When the unit is running on cooling mode, the exhaust hoses are required and must be  
vented outside using the supplied window kit.  
Dehumidifier Mode  
1) Install the exhaust hoses and window kit properly (see pages 7 & 8).  
2) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.  
3) Turn on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF Button on the control panel.  
4) Press the MODE button until the “DRY” icon 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: When the unit is running in dehumidifier mode, the exhaust hoses are required and must  
be vented outside using the supplied window kit.  
NOTE: The unit will not perform in dehumidifier mode when the room temperature is lower than 61°F .  
Fan Mode  
1) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.  
2) Turn on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel.  
3) Press the MODE button until the “FAN” icon appears on the control panel display.  
4) Select the fan speed by pressing the FAN button.  
NOTE: It is not necessary for the exhaust hoses and window kit to be installed to operate the unit in fan mode.

Auto Mode  
1) Install the exhaust hoses and window kit properly (see pages 7 & 8).  
2) Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.  
3) Turn on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on the control panel.  
4) Press the MODE button until the “AUTO” icon appears on the control panel display. Select the fan speed  
by pressing the FAN button.  
NOTE: During AUTO mode, the unit operates in Dehumidifier mode when the room temperature is between  
68 °F to 80 °F. And Air Conditioner mode when the room temperature is above 80 °F.  
Emergency Condensate Holding Tank  
When the unit is in cooling mode, unwanted water is extracted from the air. Most of this water is used to cool the unit  
and make it run more efficiently. When the unit is used in extremely humid environments, water will collect in a water  
container at the bottom of the unit. When the water container is full, the compressor will stop but the fan will continue to  
run.  
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 rubber plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically. When the drain pan  
is full, replace the rubber plug into the drainage hole to stop the water flow. Empty the drain pan. Repeat until all the  
water is emptied.  
4. If the unit is placed close to a drain, you may attach the drain hose and drain the water into the drain or pan.  
Once the water container has been emptied, replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. Do not  
allow the water to drip continuously into the drain pan, as it might easily overflow.
