Installing the Carbon Filter Caution: Never operate the air conditioner without the pre-filter attached. Your portable air conditioner ships with a pre-filter and an activated carbon filter. The carbon filter will help remove contaminates and odors from the air. It is recommended you replace the carbon filter every three to six months, or as needed. It is necessary to clean the pre-filter periodically. Follow the steps below to install the carbon filter: 1. Pull the handle on the pre-filter straight up.
Window Kit 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 you have all the parts necessary for installation. Window Kit Parts list: If you have multiple windows, choose one that is near an electrical outlet that will be able to provide sufficient power to your unit.
Installing the Grated Adapter 1. Insert the round grated adapter through the back grooved side of the window kit plate into the hole. 2. Secure the grated adapter by fastening the screws from the flat side of the window kit plate to the holes on the grated adapter.
Installing the Window Plates 3. Open your window and place the window kit on the window sill with the grooved side facing outward. Then slide the window kit plate out to fit the width of the window. You can use screws to secure the window kit plate and keep it from sliding. 4. Lower the window to secure the window kit in place. You may need to use duct tape to better secure the window kit. Caution: Secure your window with window locks. Please contact your dealer to purchase window locks.

Thread the duct connector on by turning it clockwise until it stops. 6. Roll the unit towards the window kit. Leave at least 20 inches between the unit and the wall.

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.
