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 ( ). If the unit is placed out-of-room during high humidity periods, connect the supplied drainage hose to the lower drain outlet for effective cooling and additional moisture removal. Direct the end of the hose away from the unit.

If the unit is working in conditions of high humidity it may display an E4 error code. See Troubleshooting section.

•For out-of-room operation, position the unit on a flat solid surface in an area protected from rain and sun exposure such as a sunroom, veranda or hallway. Do not operate the unit in extremely moist areas such as a sauna.

•The color of the unit can fade slightly due to sunlight.

•This unit is equipped with a thermal overload protector. This protects the unit from overheating in extreme ambient conditions.

•Place the unit so that the air inlet is not blocked by furniture or curtains, since this can negatively affect unit performance.

Place the unit in the shade if possible and in a cool place in order to increase efficiency and to avoid overheating. If the unit is operated in extremely high ambient temperatures, the unit may shut down automatically. If the unit repeatedly shuts down, move the unit to a cooler location out of direct sunlight.

REMOTE RECEIVER INSTALLATION

To enable the operation of the remote control while the unit is in out-of-room operation, you must install the remote receiver into the window kit.

1.Punch out the circular plug from the window kit to create the remote receiver hole. Keep the plug for possible later use.

2.Insert the receiver through the hole from the back of the window kit piece. The receiver must face into the room being cooled and be positioned higher than the main unit.

3.Remove the rubber cover from the remote receiver jack found near the top front of the unit. Keep the cover for later use.

4.Attach the end of the receiver cable to the jack on the main unit. Arrange the wire so it will not get damaged, stepped on or pinched.

When using the remote to control the unit, point the remote at the receiver in the window kit. Reception is confirmed by a green LED flash in the receiver.
