•••••••Safety PrecautionsCAUTION

This symbol indicates the possibility of property damage or serious consequences.

Installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause water leakage, electrical shock, or ﬁre. Use only the included accessories and parts, and speciﬁed tools for the installation. Using non-standard parts can cause water leakage, electrical shock, ﬁre, and injury or property damage. Make sure that the outlet you are using is grounded and has the appropriate voltage. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to protect against shock. Voltage information can be found on the nameplate of the unit.Your unit must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker (the fuse or circuit breaker needed is determined by the maximum current of the unit. The maximum current is indicated on the nameplate located on unit), have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle. Install the unit on a ﬂat, sturdy surface. Failure to do so could result in damage or excessive noise and vibration.The unit must be kept free from obstruction to ensure proper function and to mitigate safety hazards.DoDo not modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.Do not share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause ﬁre or electrical shock.Do not install your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too much exposure to water can cause electrical components to short circuit.Ensure there is a minimum of 36" clearance around the unit and is clear from any combustible items such as propane, fire extinguishers, fuel, etc. The exhaust hose should always be used and should never be covered or blocked which can become a fire hazard.The unit has wheels to facilitate moving. Make sure not to use the wheels on thick carpet or to roll over objects, as these could cause tipping. Do not operate a unit that it has been dropped or damaged.Do not place the portable air conditioner close to any other heat generating appliancesDo not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or when barefoot.If the air conditioner is knocked over during use, turn off the unit and unplug it from the main power supply immediately. Visually inspect the unit to ensure there is no damage. If you suspect the unit has been damaged, contact a technician or customer service for assistance. WARNINGThis symbol indicates the possibility of personnel injury or loss of life.•Page 3

Safety

Precautions

•••Do not use hazardous chemicals to clean or come into contact with the unit. Do not use the unit in the presence of inflammable substances. Always transport your air conditioner in a vertical upright position and stand on a stable, level surface during use. Always contact Whynter Customer Support for replacement parts compatible with your unit. Hold the plug by the head of the power plug when removing it from a power outlet.Turn off the product when not in use. WARNING

The appliance should not be stored in a room without an ignition source (for example: open flames, a gas appliance that is in operation or an operating electric heater).Do not pierce or burn the unit.Be aware that the refrigerants may not contain an odor.

Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.The appliance must be stored safelyuto prevent mechanical damage from occurring.A warning that the appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognized assessment specification. Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.Please follow all instructions carefully to handle and install the air conditioner to avoid any damage or hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used within air conditioner. When maintaining or disposing of the air conditioner, the refrigerant (R32) should be recovered properly and should not be discharged directly into the air.Avoid any open fire or device which may generate a spark/arcing around air conditioner to avoid igniting the flammable refrigerant.

Design NoticeIn order to ensure the optimal performance of our products, the design speciﬁcations of the unit and remote control are subject to change without prior notice. Exhaust Hose InstallationThe exhaust hose and adapter must be installed or removed in accordance with the usage mode. For COOL and HEAT mode, the exhaust hose must be installed. For FAN or DRY mode, the exhaust hose can optionally be removed.Choosing The Right LocationYour installation location should meet the following requirements:•Make sure that you install your unit on an even surface to minimize noise and vibration.•The unit must be installed near a grounded plug, and the Lower Drain Port (found on the back of the unit) must be accessible.•The unit should be located at least 20" from the nearest wall to ensure proper air conditioning. The horizontal louver blade should be at least 20" away from obstacles.•DO NOT cover any vent or the remote signal receptor of the unit, as this could cause damage to the unit.

Energy Rating InformationWe recommend that operating the unit at a room temperature below 95°F with the exhaust hose extended to the shortest length possible and ensuring the exhaust hose diameter is not blocked or covered. Extending the exhaust hose greater than 9' or blocking the exhaust hose diameter or any of the vents on the unit will reduce its efficiency.

What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner?The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner's BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. A higher Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are comparing only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to “size up” if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you’ve found the right cooling capacity for your room, you can look at other features.Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specific test procedure, which was changed just this year. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than in prior years’models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioners has not changed.What is SACC ?SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and applicable sampling plans.
