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— Fan or dehumidify mode

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

2. Reseat 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 B)

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.

Figure A

Figure B

Figure C

Be sure not to let the hose develop a kink or operation will be

impeded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED:

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

WATER DRAINAGE

Depending on your model, your A/C unit is equipped with two or three water outlets.

As shown in the diagram above, the three are:

P Upper drain outlet (all models).

I The lower drain outlet (IPAH – heat pump models only).

L Bottom tray drain outlet (all models).

All units are partially self-evaporative in cooling mode and do their best to evaporate

all the water through the exhaust hose. In dehumidification mode, however, water

will collect. There are also climates where excess condensation may collect and need

to be drained in cooling and heat pump modes. This section address these

situations:

COOLING MODE

You can test to see if and how often your climate requires drainage by just letting the

unit run. If it stops with a P

1 error, then water has collected and should be evacuated

by removing the bottom tray drain plug

L. You can just leave your unit next to a

drain or attach a hose to the Bottom Tray drain outlet and lead to a drain, if this is

necessary.

DEHUMIDIFYING (DRY) MODE

Water will collect and must be drained. There are two methods you can use.

Option 1 (Figure F): Remove the upper drain plug P from the back of the unit. Install

the drain connector (5/8" universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (available in local

hardware stores). Place the open end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area

in your basement floor.

Option 2 (Figure J): Wait until the unit stops with a P

1 error and drain the water

through the bottom tray drain outlet L.

HEAT PUMP MODE

If you have an IPAH model, it is equipped with a pump and drainage outlet. There are

two methods you can use to drain any excess water, if necessary:

Option 1 (Figure G): Remove the lower drain plug I from the back of the unit. Install

the drain connector (5/8" universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (available in local

hardware stores). Place the open end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area

in your basement floor. Note that since this outlet has a pump attached, you can also

run this hose vertically – up to 2.6 feet, but be sure that it eventually bends

downwards again so that water doesn’t return to the unit. See Figure H for the

correct method and Figure I for the incorrect method.

Option 2 (Figure J): Wait until the unit stops with a P

1 error and drain the water

through the bottom tray drain outlet L.

Notes:

All drain outlets include the option for using a non-threaded type connector.

Avoid any kinks in any hoses that may stop the water flow.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION OPTIONAL:

Your window slider kit has been designed to t most standard vertical

and horizontal window applications, However, it may be necessary for

you to improvise/modify some aspects of the installation procedures for

certain types of windows. Please refer to Figure K & Figure L for minimum

and maximum window openings. Window slider kit can be fixed with a

bolt (see Figure M). Note that the shape of your adapter may differ.

WINDOW SLIDER SIZING CHART

Use the following chart to determine minimum and maximum gap sizes

for exhaust installation within windows. If the window opening is shorter

than the noted minimum length of the window slider kit, cut the slider

kit to the appropriate length. NEVER cut the kit shorter than the hole.

A a B b

Type I 67.5 cm 2.22 ft. 123 cm 4.04 ft

Type II 56.2 cm 1.84 ft. 98.2 cm 3.22 ft

• B columns correspond to maximum size

INSTALLATION IN A DOUBLEHUNG SASH WINDOW:

1. Cut the foam seal (adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it to the window

stool. (see Figure N)

2. Attach the window slider kit to the window stool. Adjust the length of the window

slider kit according to the width of window, shorten the adjustable window kit

if the width of window is less than 26.5 (Type I) or 22.1 (Type II) inches Open the

window sash and place the window slider kit on the window stool. (see Figure O)

3. Cut the foam seal(adhesive type) to the proper length

and attach it on the top of the window. (see Figure P)

4. Close the window sash securely against the window.

5. Cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the

top window sash and outer window sash. (see Figure Q)

INSTALLATION IN A SLIDING SASH WINDOW:

1. Cut the foam seal(adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it to the window frame. (see Figure R)

2. Attach the window slider kit to the window stool. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to

the width of window, shorten the adjustable window kit if the width of window is less than 26.5 (Type I)

or 22.1 (Type II) inches. Open the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window stool.

(see Figure S)

3. Cut the foam seal (adhesive type) to the proper length

and attach it on the top of the window. (see Figure T)

4. Close the sliding sash securely against the window.

5. Cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and sea the open gap between the top window sash and

outer window sash. (see Figure U)

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 arr

ow 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 filter by immersing it gently in

warm water (about 104°F(40°C) with a neutral detergent.

Rinse the filter 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.
