wall receptacle is encountered, the customer is required to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

Room air conditioners are designed to operate according to requirements on the nameplate and as shown in Table 1. Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be according to the fuse instruction label and as shown in Table 1. Do not plug models marked “Use on Single Outlet Circuit Only” into a circuit with another appliance or light fixture.

Receptacle Wiring

Receptacle wiring must be of adequate size for unit. Refer to unit identification plate for exact power requirements. Minimum size of wiring, based on power requirements, is:

Units up to 20 amps:	12 gauge
20–30 amp units:	10 gauge

LCDI or AFCI Power Cords

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Electric Code (NEC) now require power cords that sense current leakage and can open the electrical circuit to the unit. In the event, the unit does not operate, check the reset button located on or near the head of the power cord as part of the normal troubleshooting procedure.

Use copper wire only. Consumer’s responsibility is to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring that conforms to all applicable codes. All wiring should be installed by qualified electrician.

Installation

Complete step-by-step installation instructions are furnished with your unit. These instructions will be found on a separate

page included with this manual or in the mounting kit assembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep these instructions with this manual for future reference. Your unit will be one of the following three designs:

•Unit with a window mounting kit

These models are designed for mounting though an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by using the optional window mount- ing kit supplied with your unit.

•Unit without a window mounting kit

No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit. These models are designed for mounting through an opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to window installation by purchasing an optional window mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that is appropriate for your model and installation.

RoomHeatPumps

Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient. For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it consumes.

As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below 45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch auto- matically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum operating temperature.

NormalCareandMaintenance

CAUTION

Installing an air conditioner through a wall requires extensive carpentry and/or mason- ry experience. Thru-wall installations per- formed by inexperienced or unqualified individuals can result in costly damage to home.

Annual Inspection

It is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer or servicer once a year. It is advisable to have the outer case removed and the unit thoroughly cleaned.

KC-30H / KC-35H specifications

The Soleus Air KC-30H and KC-35H are sophisticated portable air conditioners designed to provide innovative cooling solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. These units are particularly known for their sleek design, user-friendly interface, and energy-efficient technologies, making them a popular choice for consumers seeking comfort without energy waste.

One of the main features of the KC-30H and KC-35H is their impressive cooling capability. The KC-30H can cool up to 300 square feet, while the KC-35H is suitable for areas up to 350 square feet, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and small offices. Both models utilize a powerful compressor and a high-efficiency cooling system that quickly lowers the temperature in any given space.

Another standout characteristic is their dual-hose design, which enhances cooling efficiency by drawing in more air from outside and exhausting hot air more effectively. This feature not only improves cooling performance but also helps reduce humidity levels, ensuring a more comfortable indoor environment.

The Soleus Air units are equipped with multiple fan speeds and cooling modes, allowing users to customize their cooling experience according to their preferences. The dehumidification mode is particularly beneficial in humid climates, as it effectively removes excess moisture from the air, promoting both comfort and air quality.

Technologically, these models are fitted with a digital display and remote control, enabling users to adjust settings from a distance easily. The programmable timer feature allows for scheduled operation, helping to minimize energy consumption. This is especially useful for those who want to come home to a pre-cooled space without running the unit throughout the day.

The KC-30H and KC-35H also feature a self-evaporative system that eliminates the need for manual water drainage. This technology collects and reuses condensate to aid in the cooling process, further enhancing energy efficiency.

Additionally, the portable design, complete with rolling casters, makes these air conditioners easy to move from room to room, providing flexible cooling wherever it's needed. Their compact footprint means they can fit snugly in tight spaces without compromising on performance.

In summary, the Soleus Air KC-30H and KC-35H stand out for their effective cooling capabilities, energy-efficient technologies, user-friendly features, and portability. Ideal for individuals looking to beat the heat, these air conditioners deliver comfort and convenience in equal measure.
