3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the efficient operation of your portable air conditioner and heater. This unit is designed for use with double hung or sliding windows only.

- Ensure there is at least 20 inches of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
- Position the unit near a window for exhaust hose installation and a grounded electrical outlet.
- For optimal cooling/heating, ensure all windows and doors in the room are closed.
3.2 Window Kit Installation
The included window kit is essential for exhausting hot air (or cold air during heating) outside.

The window kit includes a foam seal, slider bracket, 5.9-inch diameter air exhaust hose, hose inlet and outlet adapters, and two locking screws. The slider bracket is adjustable to fit windows from 20.5 inches to 50 inches in width/height.
- Assemble the exhaust hose by attaching the hose inlet and outlet adapters to each end.
- Adjust the slider bracket to fit your window opening and secure it in place.
- Connect one end of the exhaust hose to the unit's exhaust port and the other end to the window kit adapter. Ensure connections are secure to prevent air leakage.
- Use the foam seal to seal any gaps around the window kit to maximize efficiency.
3.3 Power Connection
Plug the 3-prong grounded LCDI/Type B power cord (70.8 inches long) into a standard 115V~/60Hz electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your unit. Always unplug the unit before performing any maintenance.
5.1 Air Filter Cleaning
The reusable air filter should be cleaned regularly, ideally twice a month, or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Slide out the air filter from its designated slot.
- Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water to remove dust and debris.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
5.2 Condensation Drainage
While the unit features a bucket-less, self-evaporating operation, in high humidity conditions, excess condensation may accumulate and require manual drainage. The unit has a drain hose connection for continuous drainage.
- Locate the drain plug at the rear or bottom of the unit.
- Place a suitable container (e.g., a shallow pan or bucket) beneath the drain plug.
- Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- For continuous drainage, attach a drain hose (not always included, may need to be purchased separately) to the drain outlet and direct it to a floor drain or larger container.
- Ensure the drain hose is properly secured to prevent leaks.
5.3 Unit Cleaning and Storage
- Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Before long-term storage, ensure the unit is completely drained of water.
