Kenmore 408.72012 User Manual

AIR CONDITIONING MODE – OUT-OF-ROOM OPERATION
The unit is outside the room to be cooled, such as an adjacent room or hallway, 

or outdoors beneath a porch or window awning or the overhanging eaves of a 

roof.  
Connect the air hose and the adjustable air vent to the unit as displayed in 

the illustration; hose must be connected to the side with the COOL icon (    ). 

If the unit is placed out-of-room during high humidity periods, connect the 

supplied drainage hose to the lower drain outlet for effective cooling and 

additional moisture removal. Direct the end of the hose away from the unit.
If the unit is working in conditions of high humidity it may display an E4 error 

code. See Troubleshooting section.

•  For out-of-room operation, position the unit on a flat solid surface in an area 

protected from rain and sun exposure such as a sunroom, veranda or hallway. 

Do not operate the unit in extremely moist areas such as a sauna.

•  The color of the unit can fade slightly due to sunlight.
•  This unit is equipped with a thermal overload protector. This protects the 

unit from overheating in extreme ambient conditions.

•  Place the unit so that the air inlet is not blocked by furniture or curtains, 

since this can negatively affect unit performance.

Place the unit in the shade if possible and in a cool place in order to increase 

efficiency and to avoid overheating. If the unit is operated in extremely 

high ambient temperatures, the unit may shut down automatically. If the 

unit repeatedly shuts down, move the unit to a cooler location out of direct 

sunlight.

2.  Insert the receiver through the hole from the back of the window kit piece. 

The receiver must face into the room being cooled and be positioned 

higher than the main unit.

3.  Remove the rubber cover from the remote receiver jack found near the top 

front of the unit. Keep the cover for later use.

4.  Attach the end of the receiver cable to the jack on the main unit. Arrange 

the wire so it will not get damaged, stepped on or pinched.

When using the remote to control the unit, point the remote at the receiver in 

the window kit. Reception is confirmed by a green LED flash in the receiver. 

HEATING MODE – IN-ROOM OPERATION ONLY
The heating function of the unit must not be operated if the room temperature 

is less than 57°F (15°C)
Switch the adjustable air vent and exhaust hose holder (hose can remain 

attached) to the opposite sides of the unit. See Figures 1 - 3. The exhaust hose 

must be attached to the side with the Cooling icon (    ).

The cold air emitted from unit must exit the room through the exhaust hose 

connected to the window kit.
Use the MODE button to set the unit function to HEATING. Adjust the set 

temperature using the TEMP up or down buttons.
