Positioning
Installing Exhaust Hose to Window Slide Bar
Note: The window kit is only designed to be installed with sliding windows or doors. The window kit
is not designed or to be used with casement style windows. Measure your window kit according to the
dimensions of your sliding window. If in case the unit is larger than your required dimensions, it can be
cut using a saw or power tool of the sort. If the unit is too short for your opening, you can order an
additional window kit from our online store to extend it.
After assembling Innovative AutoDrain Technology per instructions on page 5,
make sure hose is �rmly attached to oval connector that �ts into window slide bar.
Snap hose connector into window slide bar opening. See Illustration 1.
Extend window slide bar to �t your window opening, either vertical or horizontal,
depending on how the window opens. See Illustrations 2a - 2b.
Important
The � exible exhaust hose can be extended from 12" to 60" for mounting. We recommend
that you keep the hose as short as possible to minimize possible loss back in the room.
This length has been designed especially according to the speci�cations of the
air conditioner.
Do not use an extension or exchange for a different hose as that may lead to
malfunctioning.
The exhaust air must �ow freely. Any blockage ca n lead to overheating of the air conditioner.
Handle with care to prevent any kink or bend in the exhaust hose.
This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. In doing, so keep this in mind:
• The air conditioner must stand upright on an even surface.
• Do not position near bath, sink, or other permanent, wet or damp area.
• Keep unit at least 18" from wall, curtains, draperies, or heat sources to insure adequate
air circulation.

This air conditioning does not require emptying of the water
container, except prior to season end storage.
This portable AC features the
Innovative AutoDrain Technology
Very little excess water should accumulate. During the process of
cooling, some of the water accumulated is actually used to cool the
unit internally, making it run more efficiently. Both this evaporative
technology and Innovative AutoDrain Technology are features not
found in most portable air conditioners.
Switch off the unit and remove the plug
from the outlet.
• Position a flat container or dish on the floor
under the drain hole. Do not allow the water to
drip continuously into the container as it might
easily overflow.
• Remove the drain knob.
• Remove the rubber plug, the water will flow in the
container. When this is nearly full, replace the plug to
stop the water flow and empty it. Repeat this process
until all water has been removed.
• Replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly,
the
WATER FULL LED should not flash any longer.
• Replace the drain knob.
