REMARK: Optimum operation of the air conditioner depends on the length of the discharge hose and the number of bends. Try to limit both. The supplied flexible discharge hose has a maximum length of approx. 150 cm and corresponds with the capacity of the air conditioner. The use of any other hoses or extensions could cause failures in the appliance. The air should be able to flow without hindrance, or else this could lead to overheating of the appliance or condensation of water in the air discharge hose. Therefore make sure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the discharge hose. For an optimum result, the discharge hose should be kept shorter than 1 meter during the use of the air conditioner.

INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW SEAL SET
The flexible window seal set is suitable for many windows. Such as: tilt and turn windows, windows turning to the outside and inside. It ensures that you are able to hang the discharge hose to the outside, without hot air flowing into the room again or having problems with insects.

For windows turning to the outside, we recommend taping all four sides (a+b+c+d) around the window, and for windows turning to the inside only three sides (a+b+c).

• Attach the supplied Velcro tape on the window frame and the window in accordance with one of the drawings below that is similar to your situation.
• Then attach the cloth to the Velcro tape that you attached in the openings.
