Before you begin, make sure that you have all the parts necessary for installation and that a
suitable location is picked.
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 side, or 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 images
below.
Please follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid personal injury or damage.
