In the Cool Mode the appliance must be placed close to a window or opening so that the warm exhaust air can be ducted outside.
First position unit on a flat floor and is within the vicinity of a single circuit outlet power source. Make sure there’s a minimum of 31.5" clearance in the front/back of the unit, and a minimum of 19.7" clearance in the left/right sides of the unit.
- Extend both side of the exhaust hose(Fig.1)
- Install the connector B into the unit (Fig.2).
- Affix the connector A into the window slider kit and seal.(Fig.3&4)
- The hose can be extended from its original length of 15"up to 59", but it is the best to keep the length to minimum required. Also make sure that the hose does not have any sharp bends or sags.(Fig.5)
Installation in a double-hung sash window
- .Cut the foam seals A(adhesive type) to the proper lengths and attach them to the window and stool.(Fig.6)
- Open the window sash and place the window slider kit on the window stool (Fig.7). Attach the window slider kit to the window stool. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the width of window. Screw down the two screws on the window slider kit. See Fig.7. Cut the adjustable window slider kit if the width of window is less than 26.6 inches(Fig.8).

Drainage Instructions
Continuous Drainage: During the Dry mode, you will need a garden hose (sold separately) to drain the condensate from the unit. Follow the steps below:
- Unscrew the drain cap of continuous drain outlet(Fig.20).
- Connect one end of the garden hose (sold separately) to the drain outlet then lead the other end into a drain that is lower than the unit(Fig.21).
NOTE
- Condensate may flow out after removing the drain cap, if the unit is running in Cool or Auto mode. When you want to remove the garden hose, prepare a drip tray (not supplied) to collect the condensate from the drain outlet.
- Please be sure that the height of the drain and section of the drain hose should not be higher than that of the drain outlet, or the continous drainage may not work properly.
- During Cool or Auto mode, it is recommended to disable continuous drainage by replacing the drain cap to the drain outlet, to reach the maximum performance.
Emptying the condensate residue inside the unit during winter storage.
- Put a drip tray (not supplied) under the continuous drain outlet, then unscrew the drain cap to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray. Replace the drain cap to the continuous drain outlet when no condensate flows out.
- Put the drip tray under the bottom drain outlet, then remove the rubber stopper from the drain outlet, to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray. If your drip tray can’t hold all the condensate, a number of fills will be needed. Replace the drain cap to the bottom drain outlet when no condensate flows out.
- Note: To ensure all condensate residue has been removed, tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more condensate comes out from the drain outlet.
