Installation Guide
Before You Begin
Important: Confirm your window dimensions are compatible before installation. The unit requires a double-hung or sliding window with a minimum opening height of 14.5 inches and a width between 23 and 34 inches.
Ensure you have a nearby, properly grounded 115V electrical outlet.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Window Area: Clear the window sill and surrounding area. Have a helper assist you as the unit is heavy.
- Assemble the Mounting Kit: Attach the provided side panels to the air conditioner chassis according to the included manual. Extend them to fit your window width.
- Position the Unit: Carefully lift the air conditioner and place it centrally on the window sill. The interior side should be inside the room, and the exterior side with the vents should face outside.
- Secure the Unit: Lower the window sash so it rests on top of the air conditioner frame. Use the provided locking bracket or screws to secure the window sash and prevent it from being raised.
- Seal Gaps: Use the included foam weather stripping to seal any gaps between the window frame, the side panels, and the unit to prevent air leaks and reduce noise.
- Secure Side Panels: Fully extend the side panels to fill the window opening on each side and lock them in place.
- Final Check: Ensure the unit is level (tilting slightly to the outside for condensation drainage is typical) and securely supported. Plug the power cord into the dedicated outlet.

- Remove and Clean: Slide the filter out. Wash it with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
- Dry and Reinstall: Allow the filter to air dry completely before sliding it back into place. Close the front grille.
Frequency: Clean the filter every two weeks during regular use, or more often in dusty environments.
Seasonal Storage

- Clean the filter and the unit's exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Store the unit and all accessories in a dry, covered location.
Troubleshooting
- Unit does not start: Check if the power cord is plugged in. Ensure the electrical outlet is working.
- Insufficient cooling: Ensure the air filter is clean. Verify that windows and doors are closed. Check that the temperature setting is low enough. Ensure the exterior vents are not blocked.
- Water dripping inside the room: Ensure the unit is tilted slightly to the outside (rear) for proper condensation drainage. Check that the drainage path is not blocked.
- Unusual noise: Ensure the unit is installed securely and is not vibrating against the window frame. Check that no foreign objects are inside the vents.
