Preparations for Installing the Window Kit
You must vent your portable air conditioner when running it in cooling mode. Your unit includes a
window exhaust kit that can be used to vent the unit out of a window.
Before you begin, make sure that you have all the parts necessary for installation and that a
suitable location is picked.
Window Kit Parts list:
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
following images and instructions. Follow the instructions for your desired window kit installation.
4
Installation Preparation
Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for installation and that you have
selected a suitable location.
Location
When choosing a location, please keep in mind:
The air conditioner should be placed on a firm, level location in order to minimize noise and
vibration. Your appliance has casters to aid in placement. Use caution when rolling on
carpet and do not attempt to roll the unit over any objects as this may result in the unit
tipping over.
Never place any obstacles near the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
Allow at least 20” of space from the wall for efficient performance.
Window Slider Kit Preparation:
Your window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window
applications
If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the window slider kit, you may trim
the slider panel B. (Trim the side farthest from the exhaust port).
Slide Panel A inside panel B and adjust to the correct width. To secure the panels together,
press the Window Slider Kit ‘Bolt’ into the appropriate slot on the edge of Panel A.

Installation in a Double Hung Sash Window
Note: If desired, you may choose to attach the adhesive foam seal to the window slider kit instead
of the window sill and frame.
Note: If needed, you may trim the adjustable window kit if the width of the window is less than
26.5”.
Step 1
Cut the foam seal to the proper length and attach it to the window sill, and window frame as
shown in the image to the left. Yo ur window kit includes four (4) adhesive backed foam strips for
this step, two that are short and two that are longer.
Step 2
Attach the window slider kit to the window sill. Adjust the length of the window slider kit
according to the width of the window. Use the window slider “bolt” to secure the slider to the
correct width. Open the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window sill then
close the window sash
securely against the window slider kit.
6
Step 3
Note: If desired, you may choose to attach the adhesive foam seal to the window slider kit instead
of the window sill and frame.
Cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window sash
and the outer window sash.
Step 4
If desired, secure the security bracket to the window frame. When installed properly, the
bracket will prevent the window sash from being opened.
Installation in a Sliding Sash Window
Step 1

8
Connecting the Exhaust Hose
Step 1
Connect the Adapters to the Exhaust Hose
To connect the Window Exhaust Adapter (a) to the Exhaust Hose (b), simply extend the open
end of the flexible exhaust hose so that you can thread the adapter into place. Rotate the
adapter until it is tightened securely. Repeat this process for the Hose Adapter (c) and tighten it
securely.
Step 2
Place the Unit in the Installation Location
Roll the unit towards the location where the window kit has been installed. Please ensure that
the unit is at least 20 inches from the wall to ensure proper ventilation.
Step 3
Connect the Exhaust Hose to the unit
Align the hooks on the Hose Adapter (c) to the Exhaust Air Outlet on the back of the unit. Slide
the hose downward and into place.
9
Step 4
Connect the Exhaust Hose to the Window Kit
Push the Window Exhaust Adapter which has been attached to the Exhaust Hose through the
window kit hole and rotate until it is secure.
After you have installed the exhaust hose and window kit, you can plug in your portable air
conditioner and power it on.
10
Do not
lengthen the
exhaust hose
by adding
additional
hoses or
attachments.
Notes About the Exhaust Hose
Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended.
Note: The exhaust hose may be adjusted according to your installation requirements. However, it
is recommended to keep the exhaust hose length at its shortest allowable length for the best
airflow efficiency.
Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensed water that is collected from the air.
This water, in either gaseous or droplet form, will be expelled out of the exhaust port of the unit.
Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it.
1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can be extended up to
approximately 48 inches; however for maximum efficiency, use the shortest length possible.
2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or bends may trap exhaust
air which can radiate heat into the room or potentially cause the portable air conditioner to
overheat and shut itself off.
3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has been specifically designed for
this air conditioner. Do not lengthen the hose by adding additional hoses or attachments. Do
not replace it with any other hose.
The exhaust hose must be installed or removed in accordance with the usage modes:
A: You must install the exhaust hose if the unit is in Cooling Mode.
B: In Dehumidify Mode and Fan Mode, the unit can operate with or without the exhaust hose
attached. If you choose to operate the unit without the exhaust hose in these modes the air
conditioner will be more portable. However, because the exhaust hose removes hot air and
moisture from the room, more cooling will occur in Dehumidify Mode if the exhaust hose is
attached.
11
Draining the Unit
When the portable air conditioner is in cooling mode, or dehumidify mode, it will remove moisture
from the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir and will
be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose. However, in very humid conditions, the
internal reservoir may fill completely. This causes the air conditioner to turn off to avoid
overflowing the internal reservoir, the fan will continue to operate.
Continuous Drain
During dehumidifying mode, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit. Attach the drain
hose to the continuous drain outlet and route the end of the drain hose to a suitable drainage port.
Manual Drain
During cooling mode, once the water level of the bottom tray reaches capacity the unit will beep
several times and the digital display on the control panel will read “P1” to indicate the water must
be manually drained. Carefully move the unit to a drain location then remove the bottom drain
plug and connect the drain hose to the drain outlet. The portable air conditioner will now drain
through the drain hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain with
gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”
Once the unit is fully drained reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the “P1”
symbol disappears.
