Preparations for installing the window kit
You must vent your portable air conditioner when running in it
cooling mode. Your unit includes a window exhaust kit that can be
used to vent the unit out a window.
Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for
installation.
If you have multiple windows, choose one that is near an electrical
outlet that will be able to provide sufficient power to your unit. See
the power requirements listed on the product label printed on the
back of your portable air conditioner.
Your window kit can be installed on a horizontal or vertical sliding
window as shown in the pictures below.
Attach the window panel to the window panel
If the inner width of the window is less than 21” (530 mm) wide:
1) Remove the adjustment panel from the window panel, and cut
the window panel to the same width as the panel.
2) Open the window sash and place the window panel on the
windowsill.
3) Secure the window panel to the windowsill.
If the inner width of the window is between 21” (530 mm) and 39”
(1000 mm) inclusive:
1) Open the window sash and place the adjustable window panel
on the windowsill.
2) Slide the adjustment panel to fit the window frame width.
3) Secure the panel to the windowsill with four large wood screws.
Warning: Please follow
the installation instructions
carefully to avoid personal

Lower the window to secure the window kit in place. You may need
to use duct tape to better secure the window kit.
Place the unit back of the unit towards the window kit installed.
Leave a space at least 20 inches to the wall.
Connect your exhaust hose to the window kit installed.
After you have installed the exhaust hose and window kit, you can
plug in your portable air conditioner and start using it.
Insert the round connector end of the exhaust
hose to the window kit installed.

Notes about the Exhaust Hose
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 59 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.
Do not lengthen the
exhaust hose by adding
additional hoses or
attachments.
Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended.
Draining the Unit
When the portable air conditioner 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 conditions, the internal reservoir may fill completely.
This causes the air conditioner to turn off to avoid overflowing the
internal reservoir. The number “3” will flash and one red LED will be
lit with all other lights off to indicate reservoir is full.
Direct drainage
1. Remove the rubber drain plug from the drain port.
2. Connect a drain hose to the drain port.
The portable air conditioner 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.”
