NOTE: If the window opening is less than the stated minimum length of the window slider kit, cut the exhaust slider (the one with the oval shaped hole) shorter in order to fit it to the window. If you are going to cut, do not compromise the integrity (shape) of the factory cut hole in the slider, as this would make proper ventilation impossible.

2)Install the intake / exhaust hoses to the rear of the unit (Accessories #1) as shown in Fig. A, page 4 .
3)Install the window slider kit (Accessories #5) as shown in Fig. B or Fig. C depending on window type.
4)Attach the two intake / exhaust hose adapters (Accessories #3) to the end of each hose.
5)Attach the intake / exhaust adapters to the holes in the window kit, making sure the window kit is securely in place.
