3. Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for the efficient operation of your portable air conditioner.

Placement:

  • Place the unit on a firm, level surface in the room to be cooled.
  • Ensure there is at least 30 cm (12 inches) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
  • Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Exhaust Hose Installation:

The exhaust hose must be properly installed to vent hot air outside the room. Failure to do so will prevent effective cooling.

  1. Connect one end of the exhaust hose to the air outlet on the back of the unit.
  2. Extend the exhaust hose to the nearest window or opening.
  3. Use the provided window kit to seal the opening around the hose, preventing hot air from re-entering the room.
  4. Ensure the exhaust hose is as short and straight as possible to maximize efficiency. Avoid kinks or sharp bends.
