Frequently Asked Questions - LX-120 SoleusAir

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter every 2 weeks under normal use. Remove, vacuum or rinse with water, and let dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I use the LX-120 without an exhaust hose?

No, the exhaust hose must be vented outside to remove hot air. Operating without it will reduce efficiency and may damage the unit.

What window size does the kit fit?

The included window kit fits sliding windows from 20 to 48 inches wide. For casement windows, an additional kit may be needed.

Does the unit need to be drained?

In cooling mode, moisture is mostly self-evaporated. In extremely humid conditions, you may need to drain via the bottom plug or continuous drain hose.

How do I reset the timer?

Press the Timer button until the display shows the desired hours (0-24). Wait 5 seconds to confirm. To cancel, set timer to 0.

Why is the unit leaking water inside?

Check if the drain plug is loose or the unit is not level. Also ensure the exhaust hose is properly installed and not kinked.

What does the 'Self-Evaporation' feature mean?

It uses collected condensate to cool the condenser coils, improving efficiency and reducing the need for manual draining.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, always plug directly into a grounded outlet. Extension cords can cause voltage drop and overheating.

How do I switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius?

Press and hold the '-' and '+' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to toggle the temperature scale.

What should I do if the unit shuts off unexpectedly?

Check the water full indicator, ensure the filter is clean, and verify that the exhaust hose is not blocked. If problem persists, contact support.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the unit draws in fresh outdoor air and exhausts hot air out of the room to complete the air exchange. When the unit is operating in fan or heater modes, no outdoor air exchange takes place. The window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed when the unit is used as a fan or heater.

NOTE: The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 8 ft. long (approximate length).

MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSES

• Choose a suitable location, near a grounded electrical outlet and suitable window or door. Remove packaging and locate components.
• Extend both ends of the exhaust hoses approximately 6 inches.
• Screw the window kit adapter onto one end of the exhaust hose clockwise. Screw the hose adapter onto the other end of the exhaust hose clockwise. Repeat on the other exhaust hose.
• Remove outlet covers from the back of the unit by screwing them counter-clockwise, then lifting up.
• Mount the exhaust hoses onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.

Installation of the Venting Kit

FOR DUAL HOSE PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONERS

The venting kit must be installed in order for the unit to work correctly in the air conditioning, heating or dehumidifying mode. The venting kit does not need to be used while the unit is fanning.

The window kit has been designed to fit into most vertical and horizontal window openings. The window kit can also be used in a sliding door.

1. Choose a suitable location, near a grounded electrical outlet and a suitable window or door. Remove packaging and locate components. (figure a)
2. Remove the outlet covers from the back of the unit by screwing them counter-clockwise, then lifting up. (figure b)
3. Pull out one end of the exhaust hose, then screw on the adapter clockwise. Repeat on other exhaust hose. (figure c)
4. Pull out the opposite end of the exhaust hose, then screw on the window kit adapter clockwise. Repeat on other exhaust hose. (figure d)
5. Mount the exhaust hoses onto the back of the unit. (figure e)
6. Open the window or door and adjust the length of the window kit to fit the opening. (figure f) If necessary, mark the kit and cut down one end to properly fit the opening. (figures g & h)
7. Attach the window kit adapters to the window kit. (figure i) Close the window or door tightly. (figure j) Your Portable Air Conditioner is now ready to cool!

NOTE: When using the venting system, keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible. The exhaust hose can be shortened, but it is not recommended to increase the length of the exhaust hose. Do not use an extension cord with your portable air conditioner.

Compressor Indicator

The “ ” icon will light up on the control panel display when the compressor turns on. The “ ” icon will turn off when the compressor shuts off.

Emergency Condensate Holding Tank

When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an emergency condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automatically shut

off and the “ ” will appear on the control panel display. To empty the condensate tank, pull the drain plug at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1” high to catch the water coming out of the condensate tank. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few minutes. The emergency condensate tank is approximately 1.5 ▼ iters of water. Another option is to purchase a small hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 5/8” drain plug on the back of the unit and drain the unit into a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage. It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the room temperature is higher than 90°F .
