AIR EXHAUST PORT MOUNTING

If you have an existing air exhaust port, you can directly connect your portable air condi­tioning unit to the port. For the best energy eiciency and to preserve the longest life of
your unit, avoid bending the hose and keep the exhaust hose length as short as possible.
The hose bending point should be at least 24” away from the unit for optimal perfor­mance. Avoid any kinks or sharp bends.

CONNECTING THE AIR EXHAUST DUCT

process at the opposite end of the hose with
connector B (#3).

Step 2: Ensure the side marked TOP on connector A is facing upwards. Slide connector A
