of the unit. (Fig 1)
•Fit the window outlet to the end of the hose.
•Place the air-conditioner near a window or French
window. Adjust the length of the hose so that it
reaches the window.
•Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
•Open the window or French window slightly and
position the outlet. (Fig 2)
