INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Soleus Air KY-36 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner and Heater. This unit is designed to improve indoor living and working comfort by providing cooling, dehumidifying, heating, and ventilation with minimal installation. This multi-functional unit operates as an air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater, and fan. Unlike traditional portables, there is no bucket to empty.
LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65.

INSTALLATION SELECTING THE LOCATION Place the unit in a flat location where the air outlets cannot be obstructed. Place the unit no less than 20” (50cm) away from a wall or other obstacle. MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE Slide the square end of the exhaust duct over the hot air outlet on the back of the unit. The exhaust hose should be kept as short and straight as possible. Take care to prevent any sharp bends in the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air.

However, it may be necessary to modify some aspects of the installation process for certain window types. 1. Open the window or sliding door and adjust the length of the window kit to fit the opening. Mark and cut down a single panel of the window kit if necessary. 2. Place the window kit between the window and the window frame as shown in the images to the right.
