HOW TO USE

BEFORE USING THE AIR CONDITIONER

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Refer to the Installation Instructions included in this manual before using the air conditioner. Once the air conditioner has been properly assembled and installed:

  1. Plug the power cord into its own dedicated properly grounded outlet. Do not plug other appliances into the same outlet. Doing so could overload the outlet and create a fire hazard.
  2. Make sure the air conditioner and cord are positioned where they do not create a tripping hazard and will receive adequate ventilation. Do not place the appliance near furniture or objects that could the vent openings.
  3. Make sure that any items that could be blown over or damaged by the airflow from the fan are out of the airflow path.

  • Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods of time.
  • When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, and other combustion devices, make sure there is a sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in tightly enclosed spaces with these types of devices,
  • This air conditioner is intended for household use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control system, or for purposes such as cooling precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc. Such items could be damaged.
  • Do not bend the hose downward when window installation kit is not applied. It may cause failure of air conditioner or performance deterioration.

UNPACKING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Remove and store packing materials for reuse. Remove any shipping tape before using the air conditioner. If the tape leaves behind any adhesive, rub a small amount of liquid dish soap onto it and wipe with a damp cloth. Do NOT sharp instruments, alcohol, thinners, or abrasive cleaners to remove adhesive. They could damage the finish.

INSERTING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE

Before using the remote, install the provided AAA batteries.

  1. Press and slide to remove the battery cover on the back of the remote.
  2. Insert two new alkaline AAA batteries into the battery compartment, being sure to note the proper polarity.
    INSERTING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
  3. Reattach the battery cover.

NOTE:

  • Use only alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
  • When replacing batteries, always replace both batteries with new batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.
  • If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote.

  • If the batteries leak onto your clothes or skin, remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water. Do not use the remote if the battery has leaked.
  • If the battery or the liquid inside it are ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Contact a physician immediately.

HEATING DRAINAGE (Optional)


If you use the Heat mode, you must install the drain hose. If only the Cool mode is used, the drain hose is not needed.
If the outside temperature is at or near freezing (32ºF/0ºC) follow the indoor drainage instructions.
If using the outdoor drainage method, make sure the outlet of the hose is aimed away from nearby surfaces that could be stained or damaged by the draining water.

INDOOR DRAINAGE

INDOOR DRAINAGE

  1. To attach the drain hose, insert the connector into the upper drain port at the back of the unit until it snaps into place.
  2. Place the other end of the drain hose in a bucket that holds at least 28 ounces. Remember to check and empty the bucket frequently to avoid overflows.
  3. Set the unit to automatic drain by pressing the Fan and Down buttons at the same time.
  4. To detach the drain hose, push the outer ring of the upper drain port in and pull the connector out.

OUTDOOR DRAINAGE

When the weather is above freezing, the unit can be set up to drain to the outside. Make sure the outlet of the hose is aimed away from nearby surfaces that could be stained or damaged by the draining water

  1. To attach the drain hose, insert the connector into the upper drain port at the back of the unit until it snaps into place.
    OUTDOOR DRAINAGE - Step 1
  2. Rotate the nut cover on the window vent panel and insert the other end of the drain hose through the hole in the window vent panel.
    OUTDOOR DRAINAGE - Step 2
  3. Make sure to insert the drain hose at least 8 inches.

CARE AND CLEANING

Your air conditioner is designed for year-round operation with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.

For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that you have the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually. Your local LG Authorized Service Center can provide this inspection and cleaning service for a nominal fee.

  • Unplug the air conditioner before cleaning or performing any maintenance or servicing.
  • Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter — the cooling fins are sharp!

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electric shock or personal injury.

EMPTYING THE WATER COLLECTION TANK

This product has a self-evaporative system. The condensing water will be recycled to cool the condenser. This not only improves cooling efficiency, but also saves energy for you.

Using the Upper Drain Port (Dry Mode Only)

Using the Upper Drain Port

  • This can be used when you need dehumidification in high humidity.
  • The upper drain port is not used in the Cool or Fan mode.
  • Remove the drain plug when using the Dry (dehumidifying) mode.
  • Install a drain hose (16mm [5/8"] inside diameter) and place the open end of the hose over a drain or bucket or out the window.

Using the Lower Drain Port

When the internal water collection tank is full, the LED display will show E5 and the air conditioner will turn off until the tank is emptied.

  • Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the exhaust hose from the back, and move the air conditioner to a suitable dram location or outdoors. You may also place a pan under the drain that will hold up to 2 pints of water.
  • Remove the drain cap from the drain outlet.
  • Once the water collection tank is drained, reinstall the drain cap, making sure it is on securely.
  • Place the air conditioner in the desired location, reconnect the exhaust hose, and plug in the air conditioner.

NOTICE If the E5 error appears in the display:
The water collection tank is full. Unplug the air conditioner, drain the tank, then plug the air conditioner back in and restart it.

NOTE: After the air conditioner is unplugged, it defaults to the Cool mode with a temperature setting of 75ºF (24ºC) once restarted.

CLEANING THE CASE

Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry with a dry cloth or towel.

  • To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc„ or any abrasive cleansers to clean the air conditioner; they may damage the finish.
  • Never pour water onto or into the air conditioner. It could damage internal components and create a shock and fire hazard.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

The air filters should be cleaned every two weeks; depending on indoor air quality, more frequent cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.

Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filters in place.

  1. Pull out each air filter by the handle.
  2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filters. If the filters are heavily soiled, they can be washed in warm water using a mild detergent.
    Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
  3. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling.
  4. Reinsert the filters.

STORING THE AIR CONDITIONER

If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time:

  1. To drain the water collection tank completely, eave the bottom drain cap off long enough to allow any residual water to drain out. Once the tank is completely drained and no more water flows out, reinstall the cap.
  2. Remove and clean the filters, allow them to dry completely, then reinstall them.
  3. Remove the batteries from the remote.
  4. Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive dust.

Before using the air conditioner again:

  1. Make sure the filters and drain cap are in place.
  2. Check the power cord to make sure it is in good condition, with no cracks or damage.
  3. Place new batteries in the remote.
  4. Install the air conditioner as described in the Installation Instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of a defect in workmanship or materials.
