Window installation This portable air conditioner ships with a plastic window kit for temporary mounting in standard windows. The plastic window kit comes in three sections, and its size is adjustable. If you window is too small to fit the plastic window kit in, the parts may be easily cut to size with a hacksaw.

Notes: 1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can be extended from 14 1/2” to 59”. However, the shorter the hose, the more efficient the unit will perform. 2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or bends may trap exhaust air which can radiate heat into the room or potentially cause the portable air conditioner to shut itself off. 3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has been specifically designed for this air conditioner.

DOWN buttons are pressed), the LED display shows the temperature that the unit is set to cool or heat to. 2. “RT” = Room Temperature When this light is lit the LED display shows the current ambient temperature in the room. 3. “LO” = Low Fan Speed This light is lit when the fan speed is on Low. 4. “HI” = High Fan Speed This light is lit when the fan speed is on High. 5.
If this light is flashing, the internal condensate tank is full and the unit has shut itself off. Empty the tank to restart the unit. See the Drainage section for more information on performing this operation. Buttons 1. “TEMP. UP” = Adjusts Temperature Up This button raises the thermostat temperature setting. It only affects the operation of the unit in Cooling mode or Heating mode (if applicable). 2. “TEMP. DOWN” = Adjusts Temperature Down This button lowers the thermostat temperature setting.
Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not going to use it for several weeks or more. Caution: Do not abuse the remote control.

1.5°F per hour, for two hours. In Heating mode, the Sleep function lowers the thermostat’s temperature setting by 1.5°F per hour, for two hours. This function is often used in conjunction with the Timer off function. 6. “On Timer” button This button activates or deactivates the “On timer.” As noted in more detail above, the On timer turns the portable air conditioner on after a number of hours (you select the number of hours) elapses.
Regulating airflow direction To adjust airflow, the louvers on this portable air conditioner can be adjusted up and down and from right to left. To adjust the horizontal louvers, gently move them up or down as desired. To adjust the vertical louvers, move the handle at the bottom of the louvers.
Manual drainage When the portable air conditioner is in cooling or dry mode, it will dehumidify the air. The water dehumidified from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir. This water will be used to help cool the compressor and it will be evaporated and exhausted out the exhaust hose. This unit is designed to exhaust most or all condensate water collected out of the air, but in very humid conditions, the internal reservoir may fill completely.
5. Empty the drain tray. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary. Direct drainage 1. Remove the drain cap and rubber plug from the drain. 2. Connect the drain hose to the drain. The drain hose can be extended if needed. The portable air conditioner will now drain through the drain hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain with gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.” Maintenance Notes: Always unplug the portable air conditioner before performing cleaning or maintenance.
