VERY IMPORTANT  
Do not install and use your air conditioner before completely reading these instructions.  
This will help you optimize the operation of your air conditioner. Make sure that you haven’t  
lost the little box placed on the top of the appliance itself. It contains all accessories,  
which are essential for use.  
The following advice and instructions should be followed closely:

TO SAVE ENERGY  
Each person present in a room provides  
between 100 W and 150 W of heat output.  
Consequently, the more people there are in a  
room, the less successful the appliance will be  
in cooling.  
Blocking of the filter reduces the efficiency  
of the air and increases its power  
consumption by up to 6%.  
Avoid opening doors frequently.

LEARN INTELLIGENT AIR-CONDITIONING  
The unit is electronically controlled which allows precise programming to adjust room  
temperature.  
Air conditioning does not mean, “cooling down too much!” The use of an air conditioner  
allows you to have a pleasant atmosphere by reducing the temperature. This air conditioner  
allows you to control the 4 factors that determine optimal comfort in a room.  
Humidity Rate: the humidity in a room also  
causes a sensation of stifling heat in the  
summer. The air conditioner not only cools  
down the temperature but also dehumidifies  
the air.  
Air purity: thanks to the air filter, the unit  
removes the dust particles creating a healthier  
room atmosphere.  
Airflow: The air conditioner regulates the air  
flow, allowing the flow to be directed and  
ensuring optimal air circulation.  
Temperature: the main function of an air  
conditioner is to draw hot air out of the room.  
**Note: Avoid being in a cold air flow, and do not direct it onto people. To ensure the optimal efficiency of  
the appliance, we advise you to keep doors and windows closed, and to take in account the surface of the  
walls and windows exposed to the sun. In this case, in order to optimize the functioning of your air  
conditioner, we recommend partially closing the window coverings.

INSTALLATION  
Install the appliance in the room to be air-conditioned. It must be positioned on a flat surface.  
If the appliance has been transported lying down, put it in the vertical position and leave it for 3  
hours so that the coolant “stabilizes”.  
1) Check the installation of the air filter.  
2) Install the exhaust hose connector (2, Fig. D) on the warm air outlet (at the  
back of the appliance), and turn it clockwise.  
3) Connect the exhaust hose (1,Fig. D) to the connector turning it  
counterclockwise and pull the hose to the desired length.  
4) Place the second connector (2, Fig. D) on the opposite end of the hose,  
turning it counterclockwise.  
5) Drill a 4” diameter hole into a wall or install the plastic window panel in the window  
and adjust it’s length.  
6) Install nozzle fitting (3, Fig. D) into the hole in the wall or attach the nozzle fitting (3, Fig. D) to the  
plastic window panel with four screws.  
7) Connect the exhaust hose connector (2, Fig. D) into the nozzle fitting (3, Fig. D).  
8) The cover (4, Fig. D) needs to be installed on the nozzle fitting (3, Fig. D) when the appliance is  
not used.  
For ceiling installation make sure there is adequate ventilation and airflow. The exhaust hose must  
clear the surrounding insulation.  
The air conditioner can now be connected to a 110V/60 Hz dedicated 15 amp socket.  
You are advised not to use an extension cord. If, however, this is unavoidable, the cord must be  
14 gauge, grounded at both ends and not be more than 30 feet long.  
** Note: Make sure the unit is plugged into a “dedicated” circuit; this unit  
requires 12 amps of power every time it is started.

solid while the unit is dehumidifying. When the humidity in the room is 50% or lower, the compressor will  
not run, the unit will not dehumidify, and the dehumidifier light will blink. Remember, the exhaust hose  
does not need to be used in dehumidifier mode.

FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS DISPLAY BUTTON  
The temperature readings can be switched between fahrenheit and celsius by pressing the F/C button on  
the remote. When the remote control is turned on for the first time, fahrenheit will be displayed first.  
Pressing the F/C button will then display the temperature in celsius. To return the temperature display  
back to fahrenheit, press the F/C button again.  
DRAINING EXCESS CONDENSATE WATER  
While air conditioning, the unit automatically dehumidifies the air in the room.  
The water from dehumidification is stored in a collecting tank and then immediately  
“evaporated” and evacuated via the warm air outlet duct.  
However, when it is extremely humid, the collecting tank may fill up. In this case, the Alarm  
Indicator Light (2, Fig. C) turns on and the air conditioner switches itself off.  
It is then necessary to drain the water through the condensate drain hose  
(6, Fig. B).  
Place the drain hose (6) above an empty container  
Remove the plug and to let the water run out (the capacity of the collecting tank is about 1.5 pts).  
Refit the plug and put the condensation drain hose back in its original position.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE  
Before cleaning and maintenance, turn off and unplug the unit. For safety  
reasons, never wash the air conditioner.  
EXTERIOR SURFACES OF THE APPLIANCE  
Clean the air conditioner by using a damp sponge, and dry it with a clean cloth afterwards.  
Never use alcohol or any product containing solvents.  
AIR FILTER  
The air filter collects dust contained in the air. To keep the dust from clogging the  
appliance, the unit must always be used with its air filter.  
The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner, therefore, the air filter must be  
cleaned every two weeks, and more often if the machine operates in a dusty atmosphere.  
If the filter is obstructed, the air conditioner will be less efficient.  
Remove the air filter with the appliance switched off, by pulling upward on the tab.  
Never use hot or soapy water.  
Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, you can wash it in warm water. Make  
sure that the air filter is completely dry before putting it back.  
Do not bend the filter.  
LONG TERM STORAGE  
When the season has ended or when you plan not to use the unit, we recommend the  
following procedure to be taken:  
Drain excess water from the pan.  
Run the unit for 3 or 4 hours in fan mode. This will thoroughly dry the inside of the unit.  
Disconnect the appliance and wrap power cord and plug.  
Clean the appliance and store it, protecting it from dust.  
Store the appliance in an upright position. Keep it in a cool / dry place and away from sunshine.
