Installation Steps:

1. Window bracket panel adapter, hose and hose connector are pre-assembled inside the package.
   
2. Adjust the window bracket as per width or height of your window and insert the plastic pin to fix at the desired position. There is a hole where the hose will be inserted later. Make sure this hole is not blocked.
   
   Note: After setting the window bracket to the size of your window, please remove it from the window and follow the instructions below.
3. Connect the hose to the rear exhaust outlet on the back of the unit. Slide-in the hose connector then rotate clockwise until it is locked in place.
   
4. Connect the window bracket to the window bracket panel adapter. Ensure that all connections are tight and installed properly.
   
5. Cut the Foam Seal (adhesive) to the proper length and attach them to the window sash and frame.
   
6. Connect the window bracket to the window.
   
7. Cut the Foam Seal (non-adhesive) to the window length. Stuff the Foam Seal (non-adhesive) between the inner window sash and the outer window glass to prevent air and insects from getting into room.
   
8. The Portable Air Conditioner is now ready to use.

IMPORTANT: Do not replace or lengthen the hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction.

WARNING: Any warranties included with this product will be voided if an extra extension hose is added to the originally provided installation kit or if the installation is performed differently than the manufacturer's instructions, without proper consultation. Please contact Customer Support for help with installation procedures if needed.

• The supplied hose has a diameter of 5.9" (15 cm) and can be extended from 10.6" to 59" (27 cm to 150 cm).
• Do not bend (to the extent shown below) the hose. A bent hose will block exhaust air and cause the unit to malfunction or shut-off.
• Make sure the back of the unit is at least 20" (50 cm) away from the wall. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.

WATER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the Portable Air Conditioner stops running and shows an error code "P1" with an alarm. This indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

Manual Draining in Cooling, Dehumidifying and Auto Modes

Water may need to be drained in high humidity areas.

1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Place a drain pan under the lower rubber drain plug. See diagram.
3. Remove the drain plug cap.
4. Water will drain out and collect in the drain pan.
5. After the water is drained, replace the drain plug cap.
6. You can now turn on the unit.

Continuous Draining in Dehumidifier Mode

While using the unit in dehumidifier mode, continuous drainage is recommended.

1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Remove the upper drain plug cap. Some residual water may spill so please have a pan to collect the water.
3. Connect the drain tube (included) to the upper drain plug. See diagram.
4. The water can be continuously drained through the drain tube into a floor drain or bucket.
5. Replace the drain plug cap.
6. You can now turn on the unit.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended to connect the drain hose for continuous drainage while the unit is switched ON in air conditioning cooling mode. Doing so can reduce the cooling efficiency of the Portable Air Conditioner. Only drain the water condensation when the unit is switched off. Continuous drainage is only suitable when the unit is set up in Dehumidifier mode.
