INTRODUCTION

 

 
Thank you for purchasing the Soleus Air KY-36 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner and Heater. This unit is 
designed to improve indoor living and working comfort by providing cooling, dehumidifying, heating, and ventilation with 

minimal installation.   
 
This multi-functional unit operates as an air conditioner, dehumidifier, heater, and fan. Unlike traditional portables, there is no 
bucket to empty. The condensate water is evaporated and removed through the exhaust duct along with the warm exhaust air. 
When operating as an air conditioner, this unit is designed for spot cooling or cooling a room no larger than 550 square feet 

with a standard eight foot ceiling height. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions.   
 
Other air conditioning methods are recommended when the indoor temperature is either below 64°F or above 86°F. 
 
Please complete the following information for future reference. Retain this owner’s manual with your sales receipt as a
