Your window slider has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window

applications. However, it may be necessary for you to modify some aspects of the installation procedures for certain types of windows. Refer to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 for minimum and maximum window openings.

Once window slider is opened to correct width, insert supplied screw to fix in place (see Fig. 7a).

NOTE: If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the window slider, only use

the window slider section with the hole. Cut from the end that is furthest from the section hole.

Do not cut any material from the end that is nearest hole.

Waterdrainage

I. For dehumidifying mode, pull the drain

plug from the upper drain hole tiffing. Push the open end of the supplied drain hose securely over the tiffing. Place the adaptor end of the hose directly over a

floor drain so that the water will flow into the drain. See Fig. 19a.

You may also screw the end of a garden hose over the threaded tiffing of the upper

drain hole.

NOTE: Make sure the hose is securely fitted to

the upper drain so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the floor drain so that there

are no kinks to stop or interfere with water flow. Make sure that the end of the hose is

positioned so that water flows into the floor

drain.

If water in the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times and PI appears in the display. Air conditioning or dehumidifying will immediately stop; however, the fan will continue to operate.

Carefully move the unit to a drain location, and remove the bottom drain plug to drain the water from the bottom tray.
