4. Setup and Installation

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

4.1 Unit Placement

• Place the unit on a flat, stable surface.
• Ensure there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
• Position the unit near a window or sliding door for exhaust hose installation.
• The unit is designed for rooms up to 600 sq ft (approx. 55 m²).
• The unit is equipped with 4-direction casters and side handles for easy transport within your home.

4.2 Window Kit Installation

The window kit allows you to vent the hot air outside, which is essential for effective cooling.

1. Assemble the window kit components according to the diagrams provided in the separate window kit instructions (if applicable) or by connecting the adapter to the exhaust hose.
2. Extend the window kit to fit your window opening. Secure it in place.
3. Attach the exhaust hose to the unit's exhaust connector (refer to Figure 2.5).
4. Connect the other end of the exhaust hose to the adapter in the window kit.
5. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent hot air from re-entering the room.

4.3 Drainage Setup

The AireMax APH10CE features a self-evaporative system, which typically means most condensed water is recycled for cooling and expelled with the exhaust air. However, in high humidity conditions, manual drainage may be required.

• For continuous drainage (especially in dehumidifier mode or high humidity), connect a drainage hose (not always included, check components list) to one of the double drainage hoses outlets at the rear of the unit (refer to Figure 2.5).
• Route the hose to a floor drain or a suitable collection container.
• Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
• The unit has a "Water tank full reminder" indicator on the control panel (Figure 2.4). When this illuminates, the unit will stop operating until the water tank is drained manually.
