Usage Features

Installation:

Location: Place on a firm, smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit, within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.
Clearance: Allow 12 to 36 inches of space from walls, furniture, and curtains for efficient air-conditioning.
Casters: The unit has casters for easy movement on smooth, flat surfaces. Avoid rolling over objects or on carpet surfaces with caution.
Window Slider Kit: Designed for most standard "Vertical" and "Horizontal" window applications. It is adjustable from a minimum of 27.5" (70 cm) to a maximum of 47.2" (120 cm). If the window opening is less than 27.5", the kit may need to be cut, but never cut the part with the hole. Foam seals are provided to secure the kit and seal gaps.
Exhaust Hose: The air exhaust hose and hose inlet/outlet are pre-assembled. For COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, and HEAT modes, the exhaust hose must be connected to the unit and vented outside through the window slider kit. For FAN mode, the hose should be disconnected. The hose can be compressed or extended moderately, but keeping its length to a minimum and avoiding sharp bends is recommended.

Control Panel and Remote Control Operation:

Power On/Off: Press the power button. Always press the button and wait a few minutes before unplugging to allow the appliance to perform checks.
Mode Selection: Use the MODE button to cycle through COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, FAN, and HEAT (if applicable).
Temperature Adjustment: Use the + and - buttons to set the desired temperature (61°F-88°F or 16°C-31°C in COOL/HEAT modes).
Fan Speed: Select HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW fan speed using the Fan Speed button (not adjustable in Dehumidify mode).
Timer: Set AUTO STOP (when unit is ON) or AUTO START (when unit is OFF) in 1-hour increments up to 24 hours.
Swing Function: Activates the air swing of the louvers for better air distribution.
Sleep Mode: Gradually adjusts the temperature for a comfortable sleeping environment. In COOL mode, temperature increases 1°F after an hour and 2°F after 2 hours. In HEAT mode, temperature decreases 1°F after an hour and 2°F after 2 hours.
LED Button: Illuminates the LED screen on the unit.
°C/°F Selector: Switches between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature display.
Remote Control: Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Point the remote at the receiver on the appliance, within 7 meters and without obstacles.

Water Drainage:

Auto Water Evaporation: The unit is equipped with auto water evaporation, so drainage is typically only required in high humidity or at the end of the season for COOL and HEAT modes.
Full Tank Indicator: The "FULL TANK" indicator light on the control panel will illuminate when the water level reaches a predetermined level, or if error codes "E2" (COOL mode) or "E4" (HEAT mode) appear.
Intermittent Draining: Unplug the unit, move it to a drain area, remove the bottom drain cap, let water drain, and replace the cap.
Continuous Draining: For Dehumidify mode, connect the supplied drain hose to the drain outlet (back center of the unit) and direct it to a floor drain or bucket.
Restart Delay: After the unit stops, it cannot be restarted for 3 minutes. Operation will automatically resume after this delay.

Safety Guidelines:

Grounding: Must be connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet with a 3-prong plug. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong. Do not use adapters or extension cords.
Power Cord: Do not operate if the power cord is frayed or damaged. The LCDI power cord must be tested before each use.
Placement: Do not block airflow, place objects on top, or use near bathtubs, showers, or wash basins.
Maintenance: Always unplug before servicing or moving. Do not operate without filters.
Chemicals: Avoid contact with combustible gases, oily/sulphurous atmospheres, or chemicals. Do not use alcohol, insecticides, or gasoline for cleaning.
Children: Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Flammable Refrigerants: Units using R32/R290 refrigerants require servicing by qualified personnel competent in handling flammable refrigerants.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

Cabinet: Clean with a slightly damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Do not saturate with water, or use petrol, alcohol, solvents, or insecticide sprays.
Filter: Clean the evaporator filter weekly. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner. If very dirty, immerse in warm water, rinse, dry thoroughly, and re-insert.

Start/End of Season Operations:

Start of Season: Check power cable and plug for damage. Follow installation instructions.
End of Season: Ensure the air conditioner is completely drained of water (refer to Water Drainage section). Clean and dry the filter thoroughly before reinstalling.
