4. Setup and Installation
Proper setup is crucial for the efficient operation of your ARGO Milo Plus.
4.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove the unit and all accessories from the packaging.
- Position the air conditioner on a flat, stable surface, ensuring at least 30 cm of clear space around the unit for proper airflow. The unit is equipped with multi-directional wheels for easy movement.
4.2 Exhaust Hose Installation
The exhaust hose expels hot air (during cooling) or cold air (during heating) from the room. Proper installation is essential for efficiency.
- Connect one end of the flexible exhaust hose to the air outlet on the rear of the main unit. Twist clockwise until secure.
- Attach the window adapter or the fixed installation kit components to the other end of the exhaust hose.
- Extend the hose to the nearest window or pre-installed vent. Use the provided window adapter or fixed installation kit to seal the opening and prevent hot air (or cold air in heating mode) from re-entering the room.
- Ensure the hose is as straight and short as possible to maximize efficiency. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, as this can reduce performance and potentially damage the unit.
