be keep as short and straight as possible. The exhaust hose can be  
cut shorter by unthreading either end of the exhaust duct counter  
clockwise. It is not recommended to increase the manufacturer’s  
length of the exhaust hose. This may impede or damage the unit.  
3)  
WindowKitInstallation  
Fig.2 b)-c)  
a) Open window or sliding door for approximately 5 inches (130 mm)  
b) Adjust the length of the window kit to the same length of the window or the sliding door.  
Use all three panels if necessary.  
c) Use screws to affix the window kit length.  
d) Place the window kit to the window or sliding door. Close the window or door as far as  
it goes.

CONDENSATE WATER DRAINAGE  
1) Internal Water Tank  
Whenoperatingincoolingordehumidifyingmode,thecondensatewaterwilldrainintotheinternal  
water tank. Depending on the surrounding humidity, the unit can continuously operate for 2 to  
12 hours before the internal water tank is full. When the internal water tank gets full, the LCD  
window shows error code “E4” and a beep alarm will sound eight times for 15 seconds. The  
compressor stops running and the fan will continue to run in the set speed for three minutes before  
theentireunitautomaticallyshutsoff.  
When the water tank is full, take out the entire water tank slowly and discard the water inside the  
tank, place it back to its original position. You will then be able to turn on the unit again.  
If you want to take out the internal tank before it is full of water, please stop the unit first. Wait for  
3 minutes before taking out the water tank to prevent the condensate water from discharging into  
theunit.  
NOTE: Do not take out the water tank when the unit is running on either cooling or dehumidifying  
mode or the alarm will sound and the compressor stops. The mode will automatically change to FAN  
modeandthecompressorwillrequireapproximately3minutestorestarttothecooling/dehumidifying  
cycle.  
2) ContinuousDrainage  
The unit can operate on continuous drainage mode. When the unit is operating on continuous drainage  
11  
mode, condensate water does not go to the internal water tank. Condensate is discharged by gravity  
through the drainage tubing to either an external tank (not provided) or to a condensate water pump  
device (Optional Item). When the unit is operating on continuous drainage mode, it can operate con-  
tinuously without periodic stops to empty the water tank.  
a) Pull out the plug of the drainage spout.  
b) Push/Click down the drainage spout and make it  
direct downward.  
c) Hold down the drainage spout, and then connect the  
drainagetubingintodrainagespout.  
d) Place the other end of the drainage tubing into either  
an external water tank or the receptor of a  
condensate water pump.

NOTE: Be very careful when using an external water tank. The unit will not shut off automatically  
when an external water tank is full. Spill water can cause substantial damages to carpet, furniture  
and other valuables.  
Do not use lengthy drainage tubing without a condensate water pump.

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