LOCATION This unit is a portable air conditioner that may be moved from room to room. Hot air must be exahusted out of the room for the appliance to work. This can be done with the included window kit or by cutting a hole into a wall. • • • • • The air conditioner should be placed on a firm foundation to minimize noise and vibration. The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpet surfaces.
1. 2. 3. 4. Cut a 6” (152 mm) diameter hole in the wall. Insert one end of the exhaust hose into the exhaust air outlet located on the back of the air conditioner. Insert the exhaust hose through the hole. On the other side of the wall, attach the round connector to the exhaust hose. When the air conditioner is not in use, cover the hole with the provided exhaust cap. http://www.NewAir.
POSITIONING THE EXHAUST HOSE • Slide the hose adaptor over the opening on the back of the unit. • Insert one end of the exhaust hose into the adapter. • Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust hose. This can cause moist air to accumulate, resulting in overheating and unexpected shut offs. • The exhaust hose may be extended from 12” (300 mm) to 59” (1500 mm), but for maximum efficiency use the shortest hose length possible.
INSTALLING THE ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER 1. 2. Remove the filter from the unit. Separate the filter from the filter holder. 3. 4. 5. Remove the activated carbon filter from its plastic bag. Insert the activated carbon filter into the filter and attach holder. Reattach the filter holder onto the filter (make sure the active carbon filters will be held properly between the two pieces).
