IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS • TEMPORARY USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD. We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA and UL certified 3-prong grounded extension cords designed and approved specifically for air conditioners. • To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. • Do not block the air inlet or air outlet. It may cause failure of the appliance.

INSTALLATION SAFETY PLUG LOCATION OF THE PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER 1. Select a location near a window and electrical outlet. 2. Position the unit in a flat, spacious location with a minimum of one foot of clearance (30 cm) between the air outlets and any wall or pieces of furniture. 3. If placing the unit outside of the room to be cooled, position it on a flat solid surface, preferably in a space with overhead shielding from rain and the direct rays of the sun.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: After switching the unit on, the ventilator fan operates, but the compressor only starts after the mode indicator has flashed for 3 minutes. Cool air will start to blow once the compressor starts, but it may take up to another 5 minutes to feel the cooling effect in the room. This is done as a protection mechanism to prolong compressor life. Further information is available in the “Troubleshooting” section.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AIR CONDITIONING MODE – OUT-OF-ROOM OPERATION The unit is outside the room to be cooled, such as an adjacent room or hallway, or outdoors beneath a porch or window awning or the overhanging eaves of a roof. Connect the air hose and the adjustable air vent to the unit as displayed in the illustration; hose must be connected to the side with the COOL icon ( ).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DEHUMIDIFY MODE Humidity is extracted from the air, collected in the water tank and discharged through the upper drain outlet. • Use the MODE button to set the unit function to DEHUMIDIFY. • Remove the exhaust hose from the unit. Exhausting air outside of the room will nullify the DEHUMIDIFY function. • Remove the rubber plug from the upper drain outlet (shown in figure below) in the front of the unit, and attach the drain hose.
STORAGE TROUBLESHOOTING • Follow cleaning instructions A-D. • Remove the exhaust hose and window kit and repack the unit in its original shipping box.
