INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SUGGESTED TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION

• Screwdrivers (medium size)
• Tape measure or ruler
• Knife or scissors
• Saw (In the event that the window kit needs to be cut down in size because the window is too narrow for direct installation)

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION LOCATION

1. Place the unit near a window.
2. For be st performance, allow at least 20 inch (50cm) of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

ATTACHING EXHAUST HOSE

The supplied exhaust hose can be extended to 59inch max.

(Stretch both ends of the exhaust hose out for 10-15cm.)

Push the plastic lose into the hose connector on the back of the unit.
Keep gently and horizontal to avoid getting stuck.

Note:
The length of the exhaust hose is specially designed for the unit. Da not replace or extend it with another hose as this could cause malfunction. Do not block airflow around the air conditioner. The exhaust hose should be free of any obstructions.
A bent hose will block exhaust air and cause the unit to malfunction or shut off.

WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION

NOTE: Depending on the size of your window opening, use the main panel and one or both of the extension panels.

1. Open the window and place the main window panel into the window.
   NOTE : The window assembly is designed to accommodate either a vertical slide or horizontal slide window.
