Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your Insignia Portable Air Conditioner represents state-of-the-art design in portable air conditioning, designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.
⚠ CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN. This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within your portable air conditioner.
⚠ This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your portable air conditioner.
For additional safety, the power cord on this air conditioner features an integrated circuit breaker. You can test and reset the circuit breaker using the buttons provided on the plug case.
The circuit breaker plug has a TEST button and a RESET button. The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not cause the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner immediately and contact an Insignia technician.
The power cord plug has two flat blades and a round grounding pin. This plug should be inserted into a matching three-hole wall outlet. Ensure a proper ground exists before use.
Due to potential safety hazards, Insignia strongly discourages the use of an adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used for a temporary connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a minimum capacity of 120V~60Hz, 13A, and 1560W. Make sure that the large slot of the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the outlet. To prevent damage to the adapter's ground terminal, hold the adapter in place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner. Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.

Your air conditioner is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. For maximum efficiency, Insignia recommends having the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually by a professional technician.
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks. Depending on indoor air quality, the filter may require cleaning more often. A dirty air filter decreases the airflow and reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filter in place.
When the internal water collection tank is full, "FL" appears on the LED display and your air conditioner turns off until the tank is emptied.
If your air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, Insignia suggests preparing it for storage by doing the following:
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | POSSIBLE SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
Air conditioner does not start | The air conditioner is unplugged. | Make sure that the air conditioner is plugged in and that the plug is pushed completely into the outlet. |
The fuse on the circuit is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped. | Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. | |
Power failure. | If a power failure occurs, the air conditioner turns off. When the power is restored, wait three minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping the compressor overload. | |
The current interrupter device in the power cord has tripped. | Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug. If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician. | |
FL appears on the display. | The water collection tank is full and must be drained. Drain the tank and reset your settings. See "Emptying the water collection tank" on page 16. | |
The air conditioner does not cool | Room temperature is less than the set temperature. | This is normal. The air conditioner automatically shuts off when the room temperature equals, or is less than, the set temperature. Adjust the temperature setting, if needed. |
Airflow is restricted. | Make sure that there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner. | |
The temperature control may not be set correctly | In COOL mode, decrease the temperature setting by pressing the ▼ button on the panel or the remote control. | |
The air filter is dirty. | Clean the filter at lease every two weeks. See "Cleaning and maintaining your air conditioner" on page 15. | |
The air conditioner is freezing up | The room may have been hot. | You need to allow time for the room to cool down after you first turn on the air conditioner. |
The exhaust hose is not connected or is blocked. | Connect the exhaust hose and make sure that it is not obstructed and is functioning properly. | |
The air conditioner runs too often or too long | The cooling coils are iced over. | Ice may block the air flow and obstruct the air conditioner from properly cooling the room. Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool. |
The area to be cooled is too large for the air conditioner. | Contact Insignia Customer Care for the air conditioner capacity required to cool the desired area. | |
Doors or windows are open. | Make sure that doors and windows are closed. | |
The venting hose is hot | When the air conditioner runs continuously for a long time, the hose becomes hot. | This is normal. |
The air conditioner is too loud | The unit may seem rather loud for the first two or three minutes of operation. | This is the sound of the compressor starting up and is normal. |
A soft, swishing noise can be heard immediately after turning the unit on or off, and during operation. | This is the sound of the liquid refrigerant flowing in the unit and is normal. | |
The air conditioner makes an odd noise | An audible gurgling noise may be heard when the unit is operated on a gently sloping floor. | Place the unit on a level floor. |
If an E1, E2, or E4 error appears on the LED display, turn off your air conditioner and call a professional maintenance technician or service center.
ERROR CODE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
E1 | Coil temperature sensor error. |
E2 | Indoor temperature sensor error. |
E4 | Anti-freezing protection. The air conditioner coil temperature is too low and the unit has turned off automatically. The unit resets itself when the temperature reaches 46.4°F (8°C). |
FL | The internal water tank is full and needs to be emptied. |
