Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING HOT AIR
In “Cool” mode, the appliance must be placed close to a window or opening so that the warm exhaust air can be ducted outside. First, position the unit on a flat floor. Next, make sure there’s a minimum of 18″ (45 cm) clearance around the unit and that it is within the vicinity of a single circuit outlet or power source.

1. Extend either side of the Hose ( Fig. 1) and screw the Hose Inlet ( Fig. 2).
2. Extend the other side of the Hose and screw it to the Hose Outlet ( Fig. 3).
3. Install the Hose Inlet into the unit ( Fig. 4).
4. Affix the Hose Outlet into the Window Slider Kit and Seal ( Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).

Your Window Slider Kit 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. The Window Slider Kit can be fastened with screws.

NOTE: If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the Window Slider Kit, cut the end without the hole in it to make it short enough to fit in the window opening. Never cut out the hole in the Window Slider Kit.
WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION

1. Parts:
   A) Panel with two holes;
   B) Panel with one hole;
   C) Panel without a hole;
   D) Screw for locking the Window Kit in place.

2. Assembly:
   Slide Panel B and C into Panel A and size them to window width. Window sizes vary. When sizing the window width and taking measurements, make sure that the Window Kit assembly is free from gaps and/or air pockets.

3. Lock The Screw Into The Holes. The holes should correspond with the width that your window requires

to ensure that there are no gaps or air pockets in the Window Kit assembly after installation.
LOCATION

1. The unit should be placed on a firm foundation to minimize noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioningplace the unit on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.

3. The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.
4. Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
5. Allow at least 18″ (45 cm) of space aroundand above this unit for it to work more efficiently.
6. The Hose can be extended, but it is best to keep its length to the required minimum. Make sure that the Hose does not have any sharp bends or sags.

DOUBLE-HUNG SASH/SLIDING CASEMENT WINDOW INSTALLATION

1. Cut the Foam Seal (adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it to the window sash.
2. Attach the Window Slider Kit to the window sash. Adjust the length of the Window Slider Kit according to the width of the window. The width should be more than 20″ (51 cm) but less than 53″ (135 cm).
3. Cut the Foam Seal (adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it on the window.
4. Close the window securely against the Window Slider Kit. 2
5. Secure the Window Slider Kit to the window sash.
6. Cut the Foam Seal to an appropriate length and Seal the open gap between the top window frame and outer window frame.

• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run ( Fig. 16).
• Never place objects of any kind on the appliance ( Fig. 17).
• Do not block the air inlet or outlet of the appliance.
• Reduced air flow will result in poor performance and could damage the unit.
• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (in laundry rooms, for Example).
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Make sure the appliance stands on a level surface. If necessary, place the castor locks under the front wheels.

Water Drainage Method
When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the appliance stops running and shows symbol (“Full Tank” as mentioned in the “Self-Diagnosis” section of this manual [p. 14]). This indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained through the following procedures:
MANUAL DRAINING ( FIG. 18) Water may need to be drained in high humidity areas.

1. Unplug the unit from the power source.
2. Place a drain pan under the lower drain plug ( Fig. 18).
3. Remove the lower drain plug.
4. Water will drain out and collect in the drain pan. (The user may have to providehis/her own drain pan as it may not be included in the box).
5. After the water is drained, replace the lower drain plug firmly.
