I am trying to locate a manual for the KUL CE North America LLC portable air conditioner model #KU32085 to download. We bought the floor model and the manufacturer’s manual was not with it, only the remote control manual was with it. Any suggestions?
Dear Steven,
you could try to look for a website of the manifacturer and send an e-mail to the Service if there is not the possibility of downloading the manuals.
Our job is to help manifacturers in writing a manual in the respect of the law.
I hope I was helpful.

Dear Enrique, I’m sorry but I don’t know Spanish language, but I’ll try to answer anyway. Do you need to use the CE mark on your product? Can you tell us which kind of product is yours?
Enrique, lo siento pero yo no sé español, pero voy a tratar de responder de todos modos. ¿Es necesario utilizar la marca CE en su producto? ¿Puedes decirnos qué tipo de producto es el tuyo? (This comes from a translator!)
