INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Carefully review all of these instructions BEFORE proceeding to install and operate your air conditioner unit.

Failure to do so may cause damage, injury, or bodily harm including permanent disability and/or death.

LOCATION:

• The air conditioner should be placed on a rm foundation to minimize noise and virbration. For safe and

secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level oor strong enough to support the unit.

• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, at surfaces. Use caution

when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.

• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.

• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.

• Allow 1 to 3 feet (30cm to 100cm) of space from the wall with for ecient air-conditioning and prevent

overheating.

EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION:

The exhaust hose and adaptor must be installed or removed in accordance with the usage mode.

INSTALLED—Cooling, heat pump, or auto mode

REMOVED—Heating (electric), fan or dehumidify mode

1. Install the adapter A or adapter B onto the exhaust hose as shown in

Figure A or Figure B.

2. Resert the hook of the Exhaust hose into the hole seat of the air

outlet and slide down the Exhaust hose along the arrow direction

for installation. (see Figure C)

The exhaust hose can be installed into the wall (not applicable to units

without adaptor A, expansion plugs and wood screw accessories).

1. Prepare a hole in the wall. Install the wall exhaust adaptor A onto the

exterior/outdoor wall using the 4 expansion plugs and wooden screws.

Be sure to fasten securely. (see Figure D)

2. Attach the Exhaust hose to wall Exhaust adaptor A.

NOTE: Cover the exhaust hole using the adaptor cap when not in use.

The exhaust hose can becompressed or extended moderately according to

installation requirements, but it is preferable to shorten the hose to desired

length.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERBEND OR KINK THE EXHAUST HOSE (see Figure E)

CAUTION

EXHAUST PORT

Make sure that there are no obstacles within 18” or 50cm around the exhaust

outlet in order for the exhaust system to work properly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED:

WATER DRAINAGE:

Certain functions of your air conditioning unit create condensation and must evacuate accumulated water.

Please carefully follow these instructions according to your operating and usage conditions.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE: Remove the upper drain plug from the back of the

unit, install the drain connector (5/8 universal female mender) with 3/4” hose

(available in local hardware stores). For the models without a drain connector,

simply attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose adap-

tor directly over the drain area in your basement oor. (see Figure F)

HEAT PUMP MODE: Remove the lower drain plug from the back of the unit,

install the drain connector (5/8” universal female mender) with standard

3/4” hose (available in local hardware stores). For the models without drain

connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the

hose adaptor directly over the drain area in your basement oor. (see Figure

G).

NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose to-

ward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop water ow.

Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is

down to let the water ow smoothly. (see Figures F, G, & H). Do not lift up the

hose to cause drainage to fall back in. (see Figure I).

When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit

beeps 8 times, the digital display area shows error P1. At this time the air condition-

ing/dehumidication process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will

continue to operate (this is normal).

Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the

water drain away (see Figure J). Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the ma-

chine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.

NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.

$$$ SAVE & CONSERVE ENERGY

• Use the unit in the recommended room size.

• Locate the unit where furniture cannot obstruct the air ow.

• Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Keep the lters clean.

• Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and warm air out

CARE & MAINTENANCE:

IMPORTANT:

1) Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.

2) Do not use gasoline, thinner or other chemicals to clean

the unit.

3) Do not wash the unit directly under a tap or using a hose.

It may cause electrical danger.

4) If the power cord is damaged, it should be repaired by

manufacture or its agency.

AIR FILTER CLEANING:

Clean the air lter at least once every two weeks to prevent

inferior fan operation because of dust.

REMOVAL: This unit has two lters. Take the upper lter out

along the the arrow direction (Figure 1), then take the lter

down. Remove the lower lter by loosening the screw, taking

out the lter as shown in (Figure 1).

CLEANING: Wash the air lter by immersing it gently in warm

water (about 40°C/104°F) with a neutral detergent. Rinse the

lter and dry it in a shady place.

MOUNTING: Install the upper air lter after cleaning , and

install the lower lter by using the screw (see Figure 2).

UNIT ENCLOSURE:

Use a lint-free cloth soaked with neutral detergent to clean

the unit enclosure. Finish by wiping with a dry clean cloth.

BEFORE STORING OR NOT USING A UNIT

FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME:

Remove the rubber plug at the back of the unit and attach a

hose to drain outlet. Place the open end of the hose directly

over the drain area in your basement oor.

(see Figures F, G, H and I on page 6)

Remove the plug from the bottom drain outlet, all the water

in the bottom tray would drain out (see Figure J on page 6)

Keep the appliance running on FAN mode for half a day in

a warm room to dry the appliance inside and prevent mold

from forming.

Stop the appliance and unplug it, wrapped the cord and bun-

dle it with the tape (Figure 3). Clean the air lter and reinstall

it (see above). Remove batteries from the remote controller.
