4.1 PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION SECTION 4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Figure 8 • Find a proper place for the portable air conditioner. Leave at least 20” (50.8cm) space around the unit (Fig. 8). 4.2 INSTALLING THE DUCTS IN A WINDOW/SLIDING DOOR A) Pull out both ends of the hot air exhaust ducts for approximately 6”/15.24cm. B) Screw the exhaust ducts clockwise with one end to the terminal end of the back of the unit and the other end to the window kit adapter. C) Mount the terminal end of the exhaust duct to the back of the unit. D) Open window or sliding door for approximately 5”/12.7cm. E) Adjust the length of the window kit to the same length of the window or the sliding door. Use all of the panels if necessary. Cut the window piece as needed to fit the length of your window or sliding door. Make sure that the hole on the main piece is not covered by other pieces. F) Place the window kit in the window or sliding door. Close the window or door as far as it goes. G) Adjust the length of exhaust duct and affix the window kit adapter onto the holes on the window kit. NOTE:When using the window kit on a window or sliding door it will cause the window or sliding door to not be properly closed and/or locked. Additional security measurements should be taken. 10 When you use the unit as an air conditioner or a dehumidifier, the hot air must be exhausted out of the room to complete the air exchange of the condenser. When the unit is operating on fan, no outdoor air exchange takes place. You do not need to hookup the window kits and hot air exhaust ducts when you use the unit as a fan. Figure 9
SECTION 4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 11 4.3 INSTALLING THE DUCTS IN THE WALL Figure 11 A) You do not need to use window kit adapter. Mount one end of the exhaust duct into a hole of 5.6”/14.22cm in diameter in the wall; attach the other end to the back of the unit (same as above). B) Use the exhaust outlet wall covers to cover the holes in the wall when the unit is not in use. NOTE: Mounting the exhaust pipe • The supplied exhaust hose can extend from 5.75” to 63” / 40cm to 160cm for mounting. It is recommended that you use the shortest possible length of hose. • Take care to prevent any kind of bend in the middle of the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air, which will radiate back into the room and affect the cooling function of the unit (Fig. 10). 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 (Fig. 11). C) After installing the ducts, plug in the unit and turn the unit on. Figure 10 MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATION. BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY INSTALLATION OF DUCTS INTO WALL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT A KNOWLEDGABLE PROFESSIONAL. CAUTION WARNING

WATER FULL INDICATION: Under normal temperatures, water will evaporate without the need to drain it from the unit. The WATER FULLindicator light will turn on during days of extreme humidity, when in Cooling Mode or Soft-Dry Mode. When the WATER FULLindicator light turns on, it means that the water reservoir is full. The compressor will stop working, but both of the two fan motors will continue working. The unit will drain excess water once a Drain Hose or Garden Hose is connected to it. When the WATER FULL indicator light disappears, the compressor will start to work again. 5.3 OPERATING REMOTE CONTROL (MODEL KY-25Y ONLY) CONT’D... 5.4 WATER FULL INDICATION AND DRAINING DRAINING: Only in extreme humidity 1) To add a Drain Hose or Garden Hose you must first stop the unit by turning it OFF. You must then unscrew the Drain Cap on the Pump Drain before inserting the white Drain Hose (5’3”/1.61m) provided with your unit. (Attention: there may be some water behind the Drain Cap. Have a bowl or receptacle ready to catch any runoff). After connecting the Drain Hose to the inner spout (Fig.15) of the Pump Drain, ensure that the other end is placed in a bucket or receptacle for gathering the excess water. Check the water level in the receptacle to avoid any possibilities of leaking. Instead of the Drain Hose provided with your unit, you may also use a Garden Hose (in cases where you require a distance longer than that provided by the Drain Hose). In this case screw the female end of a Garden Hose to the outer threaded spout of the Pump Drain (Fig.16). After connecting the Garden Hose, place the outer end outside of the house or in a convenient area where the excess water can be safely expelled. 2) Now, turn the unit ON and back to its previous setting (either COOLING or SOFT-DRY mode). The Pump Drain will begin to pump water out of the unit. (If using a water bucket, please check the expelled water level to ensure that it does not over flow.) Once the WATER FULL light indicator turns off … the DRAIN cycle is complete. At this point, turn OFF the unit, remove the Drain Hose or Garden Hose and then turn the unit back ON and to its previous setting (COOLING or SOFT-DRY mode).

NOTE:The cooling efficiency of your unit will be affected if the Drain Hose or the Garden Hose is always attached to it. The Drain Hose or Garden Hose must be used only when the WATER FULL indicator is on. MAKE SURE THAT THE DRAIN CAP IS REINSTALLED PROPERLY TO PREVENT LEAKING.
6.2 CLEANING OR REPLACING THE AIR FILTER If the air filter is blocked with a lot of dust, the volume of airflow will be reduced and the cooling effect will be lower. It is recommended to clean the filter once every two weeks or as needed. A) Pull out the filter from the filter compartment in front of the unit. B) Wash the air filter by immersing it gently into warm (about 104°F/40°C) water with a gentle detergent. Rinse the filter and dry it thoroughly in a shaded place. C) Place the filter back into the filter compartment after it is thoroughly dried. D) If the filter is torn or unusable, order a new filter by calling the Sunbeam Customer Service department at 1-877-383-6399 (8:30am-5:30pm E.S.T.). SECTION 6 CARING FOR YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER 18 6.3 EXTERNAL PLASTIC PARTS A) Keep the unit from being exposed directly to the sun. B) Clean the surface with a damp cloth. C) For the Stainless Steel finished models, a good quality stainless steel cleaner should be used. 6.4 STORAGE AT THE END OF THE COOLING SEASON A) On a warm day, turn the unit on in the FAN-ONLY Mode for a couple of hours so that the inside can dry out completely. B) Turn off the unit and unplug the unit. C) Empty the residual condensated water by unplugging the LOWER WATER DRAINAGE CAP at the back towards the bottom of the unit. After connecting the 12’/3.65m white Drain Hose, ensure that the other end is in a bucket or receptacle for gathering the water. D) Discharge the Hot air duct and shorten it and pack it in the box.
