Congratulations on your new Indoor Portable Air Conditioner!
4-in-1 appliance can be used as an air conditioner, fan,
dehumidifier or heater.
In addition to its contemporary design, this is a highly sophisticated
engineered product that will give you many years of satisfaction.
Here are some of the best reasons for buying your appliance for the
ultimate comfort experience:
Portable unit allows you to move and install in any room.
Filters clean the air you breathe and are washable.
Sleek panel and remote control make it easy to use.
Inverter technology achieves efficient and quiet cooling by adjusting
compressor speed to match the room temperature
Turbo function cools the room very quickly by boosting the AC to
maximum power for rapid cooling in a short time
Heat pump technology provides efficient heating by moving heat in
or out in one system

Prepare the Window Kit to install in the window
Step 1: Measure the window and arrange the 3 panels to fit the
window by sliding the panels together. The panel with the groove
goes in the middle and the other 2 panels on either side.
Three panels
Tabs and Bolts to connect the panels
Clips to attach the hoses to the window
The Window Kit includes:
Foam Seal Strips to close any gaps between the Window Kit and
the window (optional).
Step 2: Secure the panels to each other by attaching them with the
tabs and butterfly bolts (but don't tighten them yet) as shown in Fig. 2.
The hoses can be attached either vertically or horizontally. See Fig. 1.

Attach the hoses to the unit and to the Window Kit
Step 4: Place the assembled panels in the window opening and
adjust the length for a secure fit. Then tighten the bolts to secure the
panels in place.
Step 5: The Hose Connectors to the unit and to the window are
already attached to the hoses. Please check that they are attached
securely. If they are loose or not connected correctly, see the diagram
to ensure that the hose connections are correct. (Fig. 3).
Step 7: Attach the other end of the hoses into the window kit openings
by inserting and rotating counterclockwise by half a turn. Then fasten
and secure the hoses to the Window Kit with the Clips. See Fig. 5.
The hoses can be extended, however, ensure that there are no kinks
or bends in the hoses so there is adequate air flow. Do not over
extend the hoses.
Step 6: Attach the hoses to the unit by sliding the connectors into the
left and right slots as shown in Fig. 4.

Step 3: The Foam Seal Strips can be used to line the inside frame of
the window. This is optional. The adhesive strip can be used to line
the sides and top. The foam non-adhesive strip can be placed at the
base of the window. The window kit panels will be placed on top of
this strip.

Water Drainage
Water collects in the unit and needs to be drained either continuously
or when it gets full. Water can be drained either from the Upper Drain
Outlet or from the Lower Drain Outlet. But, in the Heat mode, water
will drain only from the Lower Drain Outlet.
