Window Kit and Exhaust Hose Installation Instructions Preparations for Installing the Window Kit You must vent your portable air conditioner when running it in cooling mode. Your unit includes a window exhaust kit that can be used to vent the unit out of a window. Before you begin, make sure that you have all the parts necessary for installation and that a location is picked.
Installation Preparation Before you begin, make sure that you have all the parts necessary for installation and that you have selected a suitable location. Location When choosing a location, please keep in mind: The air conditioner should be placed on a firm, level location in order to minimize noise and vibration. Your appliance has casters to aid in placement. Use caution when rolling on carpet and do not attempt to roll the unit over any objects as this may result in the unit tipping over.
Installation in a Double Hung Sash Window Step 1: Cut the foam seal to the proper length and attach it to the window sill, and window frame as shown in the image to the left. Your window kit includes four (4) adhesive backed foam strips for this step, two that are short and two that are longer. Note: If desired, you may choose to attach the adhesive foam seal to the window slider kit instead of the window sill and frame. Step 2: Attach the window slider kit to the window sill.
Step 4: If desired, secure the security bracket to the window frame. When installed properly, the bracket will prevent the window sash from being opened. Installation in a Sliding Sash Window Step 1: Cut the foam seal to the proper length and attach it to the window sill, and window frame as shown in the image to the left. Your window kit includes four (4) adhesive backed foam strips for this step, two that are short and two that are longer.
Step 3: Cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window sash and outer window sash. Step 4: If desired, secure the security bracket to the window frame. When installed properly, the bracket will prevent the window sash from being opened.
Step 2: Place the Unit in the Installation Location Roll the unit towards the location where the window kit has been installed. Please ensure that the unit is at least 12 inches from the wall to ensure proper ventilation. Step 3: Connect the Exhaust Hose to the unit Align the hooks on the Hose Adapter (c) to the Exhaust Air Outlet on the back of the unit. Slide the hose downward and into place.
Notes About the Exhaust Hose Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensed water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or droplet form, will be expelled out of the exhaust port of the unit. Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it. 1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can be extended up to approximately 48 inches; however, for maximum efficiency, use the shortest length possible. 2.
Draining the Unit When the portable air conditioner is in cooling mode, or dehumidify mode, it will remove moisture from the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir and will be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose. However, in very humid conditions, the internal reservoir may fill completely. This causes the air conditioner to turn off and display the “P1” code to avoid overflowing the internal reservoir. The fan will continue to operate.

New Portable Air Conditioner BTU’s You may notice that the cooling capacities (in British Thermal Units or BTU’s) labeled on portable air conditioners (PAC’s) are now lower than on models produced prior to October 1, 2017. This is because the labeling on new productions of PAC’s must follow a new federal test standard that was established by the Department of Energy: 10 CFR 430, subpart B, appendix CC. The SACC rating shown on your new PAC is a result of this new standard.
