INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ACCESSORIES

1. Air outlet adapter
2. Exhaust hose
3. Window slider adapter
4. 8 bolts
5. Window slider A and B
6. Window slider C and D
7. Foam seal A and B (adhesive)
8. Foam seal C (non-adhesive)
9. Remote control and batteries

REQUIRED TOOLS

1. Medium sized Phillips screwdriver
2. Tape measure or ruler
3. Knife or scissors
4. Saw (in the event that the window sliders need to be cut to size)

ASSEMBLING THE WINDOW KIT

1. Attach the air outlet adapter and the window slider adapter onto either end of the exhaust hose.
2. Insert the air outlet adapter into the back of the appliance by placing over the air exhaust and then pushing in the direction of the arrow to lock into place.
3. Measure the window opening where the window kit will be installed. Assemble as many sliders as necessary to fit the window. If the length of the window requires all three sliders, use two bolts to fasten the sliders at the correct length. 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.

INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT

The window kit can be used in either a hung window or a sliding window application. The images at the right are for a hung window. The steps for a sliding window are the same.

1. Cut the adhesive foam seals A and B to the correct length for the window. Attach them to the window sash and frame as shown.
2. Insert the assembled window slider kit into the window opening.
3. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal C to match the width of the window. Insert the foam seal between the glass and the window frame to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.
4. Attach the window slider adapter to the hole in the window slider kit.

Note: It may be easier to attach the window slider adapter to the window slider kit before placing the kit in the window.

Note: Do not over-extend or bend the hose as this will impede air flow.

IMPORTANT WARNING Do not leave this appliance unattended in a space where people or animals who cannot react to a malfunction are located. A malfunction such as the exhaust hose becoming dislocated, can cause extreme overheating or death in an enclosed, unattended space.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I leave my AC in place through the winter?

This is not recommended.

What are the standard wattage and amps used?

Information pertaining to watts and amps can be found on the rating plate located on the side of the unit.

When should I use the exhaust hose?

The exhaust hose should be used in cool, dry, heat and auto modes. It is not required in fan mode.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, an extension cord may not be used.

Can I extend the length of the exhaust hose?

No. The unit was designed with the length of the hose in mind and has only been tested under those conditions. Instead use an additional fan to blow the cool air to other locations.

When should I use the drain hose?

The drain hose should be used in heat mode, dry mode or if using the continuous drain.

Where do I drain water from?

The water drains from the drainage port. If you are not using the continuous drain, the internal pan drains from the bottom outlet.

Odors

Odour is caused by the formation of mold or mildew on internal surfaces. This can happen when there is poor air circulation, a dirty filter or the air conditioner was not used for a period of time.

• Ensure the filter is clean.
• Run the unit on fan mode to remove any internal moisture.
• Check for any blockages in the drain lines and ensure there are no obstructions.

Please give your unit a hard reboot. Unplug it and plug it back in after 15-20 minutes. This allows the unit to warm and drain if there is any frost stopping draining and go back to factory settings

For odour in a unit, we suggest using an algaecide tablet. You first need to turn the unit off, remove the lower grill and filter from the grill at the base of the unit, and then place the tablet in base.
