Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensate
water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or
droplet form, will be expelled out the exhaust port of the unit.
Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it.
1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can
be extended up to 48 inches; however for maximum efficiency, use
the shortest length possible.
2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or
bends may trap exhaust air which can radiate heat into the room or
potentially cause the portable air conditioner to overheat and shut
itself off.
3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has
been specifically designed for this air conditioner. Do not lengthen
the hose by adding additional hoses or attachments or replace it
with any other hose.
Notes about the Exhaust
hose
Attach the window exhaust
adapter A to the unit. Insert the
two projections on the window
exhaust adapter A into the two
holes on the unit and firmly attach
them to each other by sliding the
adapter down until it clicks. To
remove please make sure to push
down on the two projections and
lift up.
2
Attach the hose. Insert
the window exhaust
adapter B to the window
exhaust adapter C in the
window panel and turn it
to lock it in place.
