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