Push the oval adapter through the window kit hole until it snaps in place. After you have installed the exhaust hose and window kit, you can plug in your portable air conditioner and start using it.
Notes about the Exhaust hose Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensate water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or droplet form, will be expelled out 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 The unit will need to be drained if set to dehumidify mode. When the portable air conditioner is in cooling 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 to avoid overflowing the internal reservoir.
