2. Measure the window size.
3. Install the window sealing plate in the window opening, adjusting the length to fit the window opening and securing it with“Clip”(provided). Note: The window sealing kit works with sliding windows.

Usually Portable air conditioner needs to be equipped with sliding windows. We put two sealing plates in the packaging box of the machine, and the size range after connection is 94cm-127.5cm(37in-50.20in). We also have two spare parts, one short(40cm=15.75in) and one long(67.5cm=26.57in)with”Clip”.

If your window size is small, just between 67.5cm-98cm(26.57in-38.58in), you can buy a piece of short board(40cm=15.75in)and then assemble it with the one piece board with clip;

If your window size is large and there is still a gap on the side of the window where the two sealing panels are installed, you can buy another long panel (67.5cm=26.57in), the size range after connection is 135cm-187cm (53.15in-73.62in).
If your room has a casement window, you can also buy oursealing cloth to use.

And in the packaging bag, we also prepared 4 piece of sealing plate sponges. Just adjust the sealing plate to the size of thewindow, then tear off the spacer paper of the sponge, and stick the sponges along the circumference of the sealing plate. It can well prevent hot air from entering room from outside, and keeping the indoor temperature cool.

4. Insert the hose adapter into the vent panel(A), then slide the adapter until it clicks into place(B).

Note : For optimum performance, make sure the venting hose is not twisted and is free of kinks. For better efficiency, shorten the hose by squeezing its sections together.

Caution : The exhaust duct is designed especially for this air conditioner. Replacing or lengthening the duct could result in damage to your unit.

Note: When the unit is installed in a flat and dry place，50cm（19.7 in） space must be left around the unit to make the air flow smoothly. As shown in follow figure. The best installation distance is 50 cm (19.7 in)from the back of the unit body to the wall and 90 cm (35.4 in)from the air outlet to the bottom of the unit.

Note: The ensure proper function Do not overextend or bend the hose. Make sure that there is no obstacle around the air outlet of the exhaust hose（in the range of 500mm）in order to the exhaust system works preperly.
