Setup & Installation
Placement

Figure 2: Unit dimensions for proper placement.
Window Kit Installation
The window kit is designed to fit most standard vertical or horizontal windows. Adjust the panels to fit your window opening, ensuring a secure and sealed fit to prevent air leakage. Use the provided screws to secure the panels in place if necessary.
Exhaust Hose Connection
Attach the exhaust hose to the designated outlet on the back of the unit. Extend the hose to reach the window kit, ensuring it is not kinked or bent sharply, which can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Secure the hose to the window kit adapter.
Operating Instructions
Control Panel
The unit features an intuitive top-mounted control panel with a digital display for easy operation.

Drainage
The unit features an automatic water evaporation system, reducing the need for frequent manual drainage. However, in high humidity conditions or when using dehumidifier mode, manual drainage or continuous drainage via a hose may be required. Consult the manual for specific instructions on connecting a continuous drain hose.
