Installing Your Window Kit and Exhaust Hose
PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT
You must vent your portable air condioner when running in it cooling mode. Your unit includes a window exhaust kit
that can be used to vent the unit out of a window.
Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for installaon and a locaon is picked.
When choosing a locaon keep in mind:
• The air condioner should be placed on a firm foundaon to minimize noise and vibraon. For safe and secure
posioning, place the unit on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.
• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on a smooth, flat surface. Use cauon when roll-
ing on carpet and do not aempt to roll the unit over any objects.
• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.
• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
• Allow at least 20” of space from the wall for efficient air-condioning.
INSTALLATION IN A DOUBLEͳHUNG SASH WINDOW
1. Cut the foam seal to the proper length and aach it to the window sill.
2. Aach the window slider kit to the window sill. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the width of
the window. Shorten the adjustable window kit if the width of the window is less than 26.5 inches. Open the win-
dow sash and place the window slider kit on the window sill.
3.Cut the foam seal to the proper length and aach it on the top of the window slider kit. Close the window sash
securely against the window slider kit.
4. Finally, cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window sash and outer
window sash.

INSTALLATION IN A SLIDING SASH WINDOW
1. Cut the foam seal to the proper length and aach it to the window frame.
2. Aach the window slider kit to the window frame. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the
height of the window. Shorten the adjustable window kit if the height of the window is less than 26.5 inches. Open
the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window sill against the frame securely.
3. Cut the foam seal to the proper length and aach it on the top of the window slider kit. Close the window sash
securely against the window slider kit.
4. Finally, cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window sash and outer
window sash.
INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST HOSE
The exhaust hose and adaptor must be installed or removed in accordance with the usage mode.
Install for COOL and AUTO mode, remove for FAN or DEHUMIDIFY mode.
1. Install the window exhaust hose adapter as shown below.
2. Push the Exhaust Hose into the air outlet opening along the arrow direconal.
Notes about the exhaust hose:
• The exhaust hose can be extended but it is recom-
mended to use the shortest length possible.
• Make sure there are no kinks or bends where ex-
hausted air could get trapped causing your portable
air condioner to overheat and shut itself off.
• Do not lengthen hose by adding any addional
hoses or aachments.

Draining Your Unit
When the portable air condioner is in cooling mode, or dehumidify
mode, it will remove moisture from the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir
and will be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose. However, in very humid condions, the internal reser-
voir may fill completely. This causes the air condioner to turn offto avoid overflowing the internal reservoir, the fan
will connue to operate.
During dehumidifying mode, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit. Aach a ¾” hose that can be
locally purchased to the connuous drain outlet. Connect the drain hose adapter to end of hose and place the open
end of the adapter directly over the drain area.
During cooling mode the once the water level of the boom tray reaches capacity the unit will beep several mes
and the digital display on the control panel will read “P1” to indicate the water must be manually drained. Carefully
move the unit to a drain locaon and remove the boom drain plug and connect the drain hose to the drain outlet.
The portable air condioner will now drain through the drain hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all
water will drain with gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”
Once unit is fully drained reinstall the boom drain plug and restart the machine unl the “P1” symbol disappears. If
the error repeats call for service.
