Drainage
Specifications
During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water
is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most Portable Air
Conditioners. If the unit is operated inVERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit.
If the water container is full, the compressor will stop, but the fan will continue to circulate the air. The
POWER indicator will blink to inform you to empty the internal container. To make the cooling function
work again, please empty the water by one of the following methods:

REMARKS:
Special Caution for Heating Function!
While using the heating function, please note:
1. The data may vary, please refer to the rating label on the back of the unit.
1. Install the exhaust pipe securely in order to exhaust
the cool air to the outside (please see page 6).

Cooling - Indoor: RT 81°F, RH 60%
Heating - Indoor: RT 68°F, RH 60%
2. Use the continuous drainage option as described above.
3. The warmer the outside air the more heat will be
pumped into the room. Working range for heat pump
function is 41°F to 81°F. When used in room temperatures
outside this range, the unit may not function properly.
* Uninsulated rooms such as sunrooms, garages, or attics should be less than 400 sq. ft.
4. While using the heating function during low temperatures,
sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the
internal frost. When this occurs, just wait for heating to resume.
This is normal for compressor operated devices.

Installation
Installation
Window Kit Installation
This unit is a portable air conditioner. It can be moved from room to room so that the cooling
can follow you anywhere. Fitting the exhaust hose is easy, through a window or wall.
Mounting the exhaust pipe
Please refer to either of the following ways:
• The supplied exhaust hose can be
extended from 1 foot to 5 feet
for mounting. It is recommended that
Using Foam Strips:
Two foam strips are provided with the
unit, each measuring 7" x 24".
you use the shortest possible length of hose.
If your window’s height or width is shorter
than 24",please measure and cut the foam
strip (with the pre-cut hole) to size.
If your window’s height or width is longer
than 24" but shorter than 48", please
attach the two strips together by using
the yellow double-sided tapes provided
and cut to size.
• Take care to prevent any kink or
bend in the middle of the exhaust
hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air,
which will radiate back into the room.
If your window is longer than 48",
additional foam strips can be purchased
directly from Amcor.
1. Push out the pre-cut circle from 3. Extend one end of the exhaust 5. Extend other end of exhaust

facing out.
6. Push Adaptor to fit firmly over
the opening on the back of
the unit.
4. Place and insert the foam strip
into your window frame and
close window to hold foams
in place.
WARNING!
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially
designed according to the specification of
this product.
Do not replace or extend it with your own hose
as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
Cleaning the Filter
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt from the filters
and then rinse them thoroughly under running water (no hotter than 104ºF)
Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Wall Connection
1. Make a hole (5.1" in diameter)
in the wall.
3. Extend one end of the exhaust
pipe (part #11) and screw into
the Round Connector by
turning clockwise.
5. Push Adaptor to fit firmly
over the opening on the back
of the unit.
Notice! Never operate the unit without the filters.
2. Insert the Round Connector
(part #14) into the hole and
hold in place by using 4 small
screws (not supplied).
**When not in use, cover the
Round Connector and hole
with Cap (part #15).

Before Use
Operation - Electronic Control Models
Setting The Fan Speed
Press the SPEED button to choose the fan speed you require, high or low. The indicator of high
or low fan will light up at the same time.
Important!
• Transport the unit in an upright position only, or leave it in an upright position
for at least 2 hours before first use.
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the
fan speed switch is invalid.
• Always place the unit on an even surface (Figure 1).
• The power cord is UL listed. It has a built-in
L.C.D.I. (Leakage, Current, Detection, Interruption)
circuit breaker for added safety.
Setting theTimer
Press theTIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 1 2 hours, the timer
indicator will light up). When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off
automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press theTIMER button.
If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.
If the power supply is interrupted, press the reset
button to reconnect the unit to the power source.
• Make sure the unit is connected to a correctly grounded power supply
(refer to the rating label located at the back of the unit).
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you can PRE-SET the time for
the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to ‘2’,
the unit will come on automatically after 2 hours.
• An opening in a window or wall is required to accommodate
the exhaust hose (kit supplied) to expel the warm air.
• Do not cover or obstruct the appliance inlet or outlet grilles (Figure 2).
All the above functions can also be performed with the supplied remote
control. This remote control requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.
• To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used
in bathrooms, shower rooms or in any other steamy or wet areas.
Regulating the airflow direction
• The unit will cool when the room temperature is between
64°F and 110°F depending on the thermostat setting.
• Do not sit or place objects on the unit.
• Do not touch the unit with wet/damp hands or when standing barefoot.
• Avoid all contact with chemical based materials.
• The filter must be used with the product at all times.
When removing for cleaning, always disconnect the unit from the mains first.
Move the air vent directly to adjust the
airflow direction from the horizontal louvres.
Turn the roller on the air vent to control
the airflow direction from the vertical louvres.
• Turn off the appliance when not in use.
• At the end of each season all water must be drained and the unit and filters cleaned before storage.
IMPORTANT!
• Drainage of the water container is required before moving the unit or
putting it into storage.
• The compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is turned on (this will
help prolong the life of the compressor). After switching the unit off, please wait at least
3 minutes before turning the unit back on.
• If the electric socket is different from the plug provided, have a professionally qualified electrician
replace the plug with a suitable one. Avoid the use of adaptor plugs, multiple sockets and/or extension
leads; if their use is necessary, ensure that they conform to the current safety regulations.
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan, however, keeps
working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen temperature +/ 5°F,
the cooling will resume.
-
• Do not pull the supply cable or place it near a source of heat; always unroll it completely
to avoid the possibility of dangerous overheating.
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than the one set
(the fan keeps working at the set level). When the room temperature drops 5°F below the chosen
temperature, heating will resume.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent or a similarly qualified person.
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. Sometimes, while using the heating function
during low temperatures, the heating will stop for a while to melt the internal frost. When this occurs,
wait for heating to resume.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IFTHE ABOVE
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds prior to the unit starting.
