REQUIRED TOOLS

INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT

The instructions below can be used for either a hung window or a sliding window application.

1. Measure the window opening where the window kit will be installed. Assemble as many sliders as necessary to fit the window. If the window opening is less that the minimum length of a single slider, use the slider that has the hole in it and cut it to the correct length. Make sure not to cut the end that has the hole as this is necessary to attach the exhaust hose adapter. Cut the adhesive foam seals to the correct length for the window and attach them to the window sash and frame.

2. Connect the window slider adapter to the window slider by gently pressing it into the hole in the slider until it clicks into place.

3. Attach the exhaust hose to the window slider adapter by gently pressing it into the adapter until it clicks into place.

4. Install the slider kit and hose assembly and close the window to hold it in place.

5. Attach the air outlet adapter to the back of the appliance by sliding it down into the channel around the air outlet. Attach the hose to the air outlet adapter on the back of the appliance by gently pressing it into the adapter until it clicks into place.

6. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal to match the width of the window and insert it between the glass and the window frame to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.

7. Install the security bracket in the window frame with the provided screws.

Note: Do not over extend or bend the hose as this will impede air flow.

The temperature can be set within a range of 17 - 30°C (62 - 86°F).

The exhaust hose should be installed during cool mode to ensure the best results.

  • Dry Mode

Choose dry Mode to remove excess moisture from the air during periods of high humidity. All water pulled from the air will condense inside the appliance and drain out the back.

The humidity can be adjusted in 5% increments between 35% and 85%.

The fan speed will be automatically set and cannot be modified in dry Mode.

  • Fan Mode

Choose fan mode to run the internal fan without engaging the cooling function. Press the fan button repeatedly to choose the fan speed.

  • Auto Mode

Auto mode is a pre-set factory program that automatically defines the mode (cool or dry) and fan speed based on the set temperature, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity.

Automatic Timer Feature

To set the automatic off timer:

  • Ensure the appliance is turned on
  • Press the timer button and the indicator light will illuminate
  • Press the timer button to select the desired amount of hours before the appliance turns off

To set the automatic on timer:

  • Turning the appliance on or off at any time or adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 hours will cancel the timer settings

Using Timer On and Off Simultaneously

If there is a need for the appliance to turn on, run for a set period of time and then turn off, the on and off timers can be used at the same time by first setting one and then the other. Both indicator lights will illuminate and the display will count down to the appliance either turning off or on, whichever function was set first.

Note: The timer will not cycle the appliance on and off indefinitely. The on and off timers will function one time and then the appliance will return to regular functioning.

Ionizer Feature

The ionizer feature is a form of air purification that negatively charges the air. Dust particles, pollen and other particles in the air cannot pass through the filter when they are negatively charged. This ensures that the maximum amount of dust and dirt are removed from the air. Additionally, the ionizer helps to remove unwanted odors from the air.

Sleep Feature

The sleep feature can be used to conserve energy during sleeping hours.

When selected, the set temperature will increase by 2 degrees over a 2 hour period. The appliance will hold the new set temperature for 7 hours before automatically returning to normal operation.

The sleep feature can be canceled at any time by pressing the sleep button.

Follow Me Feature

There is a temperature sensor built into the remote control that will continuously collect the current room temperature. Keep the remote control with you and the appliance will automatically adjust the set temperature based on the current temperature where you are located to reach the most comfortable condition and temperature.

The remote will send a signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes, so long as you remain within range of the appliance.

The follow me light on the control panel of the appliance will illuminate for 5 seconds every three minutes to indicate that it has received a signal from the remote. If the appliance does not receive a signal from the remote during any 7 minute interval, it will beep to indicate that the follow me feature has ended.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

WATER DRAINAGE

When the internal drain pan becomes full the appliance will beep 8 times and the digital display will show error code P1. The air conditioning or dehumidifying action will stop but the fan may continue to operate.

There are two methods to drain water from the appliance.

1. Drain Plug

  1. Turn the appliance off and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Carefully move the appliance to a location where the water can be drained.
  3. Remove the drain plug and allow the water to completely drain.
  4. Replace the bottom drain plug, pressing firmly to ensure a tight fit and no leaks.
  5. The P1 error symbol will disappear and the appliance will resume regular function once power is restored.

2. Continuous Drain

During the Dry mode, you may wish to set up the continuous drain option so that the appliance will automatically drain collected water.

Remove the exhaust hose during Dry mode, it is not necessary. Ensure that the appliance is turned off and unplugged from the power source before setting up the drain hose.

Remove the upper drain plug and attach the drain hose that was provided with the appliance. Ensure that there are no kinks or bends in the drain hose as this can stop water from draining.

Place the open end of the drain hose over the receptacle that the appliance will drain into; this could be a basement floor drain, a sink or similar.

Remember that there is no drain pump in this appliance, the continuous drain is activated by gravity only. Ensure that the drain hose goes straight down toward the floor from the drain connection. If the hose is not positioned directly downwards, water will not drain correctly.
