ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
When the unit is operating in air conditioning mode, the unit draws in indoor air and exhausts hot air out of the room
to complete the air exchange. The Window Kit must be installed when operating the unit in air conditioning, dehu-
midification and heating modes. When the unit is operating in Fan Mode, no outdoor air exchange takes place. The
window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed when the unit is used as a fan.
The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 7 ft. long
(approximate length). When installed, be sure to keep the exhaust hose and short and straight as possible for
maximum efficiency.

BUCKET FULL INDICATOR
When the Internal Water Tank is full, the Bucket Full light will illuminate and the unit will automatically
shut down. The air conditioner will resume normal operation once Internal Water Tank is emptied.
INTERNAL WATER TANK
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to
evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an internal
water tank inside the unit. The internal water tank holds approximately 1.5 liters of water. When this tanks
becomes full, the unit will automatically shutdown and illuminate the Bucket Full indicator.
HOW TO INSTALL CONTINUOUS DRAIN OPTION:
1. Place the Portable AC on a level surface.
2. Remove the cap on continuous drain port on the back of the unit to access the Continuous Drain Port.
3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the accessible Continuous Drain Port.
4. Lead Garden Hose to a floor drain and cut to length.
5. Make sure that there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose (Fig 15.1).
6. Turn on the unit and gravity draining will begin automatically.
Fig 15.1
Ｍ ＡＩＮＴＥＮＡＮＣＥ
HOW TO DRAIN THE INTERNAL WATER TANK
*You will need a small pan, approximately 1” high to catch the water coming out of the water tank. Once
the water tank is empty, the unit will resume operation within a few minutes.
1. Do not move the unit when the water container is full. (Water will spill out)
2. Place a small pan under the condensation drain hole on the bottom side of the unit.
3. Remove the drain plug from the condensation drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automati-
cally.
4. When the drain pan is full, install the drain plug back onto the condensation drain hole to stop the water
flow.
5. Empty the drain pan.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the water is emptied.
NOTE: Once the condensate tank has been emptied, firmly press the drain plug back onto the condensa-
tion drain hole (Fig 16.1). It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the room temperature is higher
than 90˚F.
NOTE: You may also use enclosed Optional Drain Tube to facilitate the draining process, make sure to re-
plug the Drain Stopper once the condensation tank has been emptied (Fig 16.2).
