Thank You
Thank you for purchasing an Koldfront portable air conditioner. It should provide you with years of
reliable cooling. Among other features, this versatile unit exhausts all the condensate that it extracts
from your air. Additionally, this portable air conditioner features auto restart. If power to the unit is
interrupted, the unit “remembers” its previous settings when power is restored.
In order to properly use all features of this portable air conditioner, please read this owner’s manual
prior to use and store the owner’s manual for future reference. It is also a good idea to save the box
and packaging for this portable air conditioner for off-season storage.
Energy Saving Tips
1.
Use the portable air conditioner for the recommended room size. Rooms that are too small can
cause the unit to short cycle and work inefficiently. Rooms that are too large will never cool
completely.
2.
Be careful not to obstruct the air flow coming out of the portable air conditioner. A powerful,
unobstructed airflow is crucial for optimum cooling.
3.
Keep blinds and curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.
4.
Clean the pre-filter often.
5.
Close your fireplace damper, floor grills, and wall grills to prevent cool air from escaping.
6.
Avoid opening doors frequently.
7.
Note that each additional person in room adds between 100-150 BTU of heat, so the more
people in a room, the more cooling capacity is required.
8.
Set the portable air conditioner to maximum cooling and high speed airflow when you first
start it up, and then adjust the unit to a comfortable setting.
9.
To provide cooling to a room, this portable air conditioner must always be used with its exhaust
hose attached.
Notes
The portable air conditioner must be plugged into an appropriate power outlet. Refer to the rating
label on the back of the unit for more information.
The portable air conditioner is a compressor-driven cooling system. The air conditioner has an
anti-overheating safety feature that delays the compressor from starting for three minutes after the
air conditioner turns on or when a mode change is made. If the compressor does not immediately
start, it is likely because of this feature.
To protect the compressor from overheating or freezing, it will only operate when the ambient
temperature is between 64
°
and 100
°
F.
In the Cooling, Dehumidifying, or Auto modes the exhaust hose must be used.
When switching into the Cooling mode, cooling may be temporarily delayed as the unit cools
down.
