INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT
The instructions below can be used for either a hung window or a sliding window application.
1. Measure the window opening where the window kit will be installed. Assemble as many sliders as necessary to fit the window. If the window opening is less that the minimum length of a single slider, use the slider that has the hole in it and cut it to the correct length. Make sure not to cut the end that has the hole as this is necessary to attach the exhaust hose adapter. Cut the adhesive foam seals to the correct length for the window and attach them to the window sash and frame.
2. Connect the window slider adapter to the window slider by gently pressing it into the hole in the slider until it clicks into place.
3. Attach the exhaust hose to the window slider adapter by gently pressing it into the adapter until it clicks into place.
4. Install the slider kit and hose assembly and close the window to hold it in place.
5. Attach the air outlet adapter to the back of the appliance by sliding it down into the channel around the air outlet. Attach the hose to the air outlet adapter on the back of the appliance by gently pressing it into the adapter until it clicks into place.
6. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal to match the width of the window and insert it between the glass and the window frame to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.
7. Install the security bracket in the window frame with the provided screws.
Note: Do not over extend or bend the hose as this will impede air flow.

The exhaust hose should be installed during cool mode to ensure the best results.
- Dry Mode
Choose dry Mode to remove excess moisture from the air during periods of high humidity. All water pulled from the air will condense inside the appliance and drain out the back.
The humidity can be adjusted in 5% increments between 35% and 85%.
The fan speed will be automatically set and cannot be modified in dry Mode.
- Fan Mode
Choose fan mode to run the internal fan without engaging the cooling function. Press the fan button repeatedly to choose the fan speed.
- Auto Mode
Auto mode is a pre-set factory program that automatically defines the mode (cool or dry) and fan speed based on the set temperature, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity.

Using Timer On and Off Simultaneously
If there is a need for the appliance to turn on, run for a set period of time and then turn off, the on and off timers can be used at the same time by first setting one and then the other. Both indicator lights will illuminate and the display will count down to the appliance either turning off or on, whichever function was set first.
Note: The timer will not cycle the appliance on and off indefinitely. The on and off timers will function one time and then the appliance will return to regular functioning.
Ionizer Feature
The ionizer feature is a form of air purification that negatively charges the air. Dust particles, pollen and other particles in the air cannot pass through the filter when they are negatively charged. This ensures that the maximum amount of dust and dirt are removed from the air. Additionally, the ionizer helps to remove unwanted odors from the air.
Sleep Feature
The sleep feature can be used to conserve energy during sleeping hours.
When selected, the set temperature will increase by 2 degrees over a 2 hour period. The appliance will hold the new set temperature for 7 hours before automatically returning to normal operation.
The sleep feature can be canceled at any time by pressing the sleep button.
Follow Me Feature
There is a temperature sensor built into the remote control that will continuously collect the current room temperature. Keep the remote control with you and the appliance will automatically adjust the set temperature based on the current temperature where you are located to reach the most comfortable condition and temperature.
Press the follow me button to activate. The remote will display the current temperature at its location.
The remote will send a signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes, so long as you remain within range of the appliance.
