How to Install the Unit

Place the unit on a level floor.For best performance, allow at least 19 5/8" of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.Place the unit near a window. The hose and diffuser will be used to connect the air conditioner to the window installation kit to vent exhaust air outside.After installation, the hose length is approximately 35 3/8" or less for best performance.

Window Vent Panel and Extensions

The window installation kit allows you to install the air conditioner in most vertical-sliding windows 23” to 60” wide, or horizontal-sliding windows from 23” to 60” high.Window Installation Kit (Includes 1 Window Vent Panel and 2 Extension Panels).Window openWindow Vent PanelExtension PanelsFig.a Panel A (23")b Panel B (16")c Panel C (23")23"Pa24" ~ 38"PPb39" ~ 45"PPc46" ~ 60"PPPdFor window openings shorter than 23”, trim Panel A a to fit the opening.For longer window openings, assemble and adjust the panels to fit the window opening. Use Mounting plate screws d (included) to fix the panels together at the proper length.d Mounting plate screwsFor an 23” window opening, use the window vent panel (Panel A a) by itself.For window openings from 24” to 38”, use the window vent panel (Panel A a) and an extension panel (Panel B b).For window openings from 39” to 45”, use the window vent panel (Panel A a) and an extension panel (Panel C c).For window openings from 46” to 60”, use the window vent panel (Panel A a) and two extension panels (Panel B b and Panel C c).

Installation (Vertical)

Inserting Panel AssemblyFit the chassis fixing clips at both ends of the mounting plate.After adjusting the length of the mounting plate to the chassis height, insert the clip into the window sill.Small WindowsRefer to the Positioning Vent Hose to adjust the hose outlet position.Secure the mounting plate screws in the mounting holes on both sides of the mounting plate.If the screw fixing holes do not match, use a power drill to drill the holes (3 mm) in the outer mounting plate in accordance with the inner screw holes.Connecting Vent HoseInsert the hose into the groove in the insertion direction.a Inserting directionPush the hose in the assembling direction to assemble with the mounting plate.b Assembling directionAttaching Foam Weather SealsCut the mounting plate insulation to the chassis length and insert it on both sides of the mounting plate.Move the mounting plate to the end of the chassis, close the window and secure it with the security bracket.Be sure to install the window fixing bracket to prevent the window from opening outside.Cut the window gap insulation to the window length and insert it into the window gap.Positioning Vent HoseFor best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible. However, shape the diffuser end of the vent hose into an inverted U shape just inside the window to allow any rain or condensation to drain out the window.Best positioningInverted U shapeCorrect Installation Position

Installation (Horizontal)

Attaching Foam Weather SealsCut the mounting plate insulation to the chassis length and insert it on both sides of the mounting plate. (Attaching the foam weather seals to the panel assembly rather than the window sash and frame makes for easier cleanup when removing the panel assembly.)Take care not to block drain holes in the exterior sill. If necessary, cut slots in the foam seal to allow any moisture to drain out the window sill drains.Adhesive short foam weather sealsMounting plate insulationIndoor InteriorInserting Panel AssemblyInsert the panel assembly in the bottom sash channel as in step 2. Use care when installing the assembly, which will now fit very tightly in the opening. Close the sash tightly against the top of the panel assembly. For a tighter seal, use "no residue" duct tape (not included) to seal any gaps around the installed panel assembly.If needed, install the included security bracket with a bracket screws.

Stuff it between the window sashes to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.For a tighter seal, use “no residue” duct tape to seal the gap between the sashes.Connecting Vent HoseAlign the tabs on the diffuser end of the vent hose to the slots in the panel assembly opening. Insert the diffuser and push it in the Lock direction to assemble with the mounting plate.If disconnected, reconnect the other end of the vent hose to the product by inserting the vent hose into the product with the mounting ring facing out. If the hose doesn’t snap into place, rotate it slightly so the 2 lines at the front align.Window gap insulationMounting ring(1) Insert(2) UnLockLockPositioning Vent HoseFor best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible.
