WINDOW KIT ASSEMBLY

Step one: prepare the window sliders

1. Measure the window opening where the window kit will be installed.
2. Assemble as many sliders as necessary to fi t the window. If the window opening is less than 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.
3. Use the window slider bolts to secure the window sliders at the correct length.

Step two: prepare the exhaust adapter (for optional sliding window applications)

Assemble the exhaust adapter module for sliding windows using the exhaust adapter screw as shown. The window slider is eccentric so the exhaust adapter must be installed away from the wall.

EXHAUST HOSE

Pull out the hose

1. Rotate the exhaust hose gently backwards.
2. Pull out the exhaust hose.

INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT

The instructions below can be used for a hung window application (shown on the left) or an optional sliding window application (shown on the right).

1. Cut adhesive foam seals A and B to the correct lengths and attach them to the window frame as shown.

2. Insert the window slider kit into the window opening and close the window the secure it in place.

3. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal C to match the width or height of the window and insert it between the panes of glass as shown to prevent outside air from entering the window.

4. If desired, install the security bracket with 2 screws as shown.

5. For a hung window, attach the air outlet adapter onto the exhaust hose and rotate it 90° to secure it in place. For a sliding window, attach the exhaust adapter onto the exhaust hose.

6. For a hung window, attach the air outlet adapter onto the window slider kit. For a sliding window, attach the exhaust adapter onto the window slider kit.

Odors

Odor 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.
