Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation to ensure optimal performance:
- Positioning the Unit: Place the portable AC unit on a flat, stable surface near a window. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for proper airflow.
- Window Kit Assembly:
- Assemble the window kit according to your window type (sliding slash window or double/single-hung window). The kit is adjustable from 26 to 50 inches.
- Secure the window kit in the open window, ensuring a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
- Exhaust Hose Connection:
- Attach one end of the exhaust hose to the hose connector, and the other end to the window kit adapter.
- Connect the hose connector to the exhaust outlet on the back of the portable AC unit.
- Insert the window kit adapter into the opening in the window kit. Ensure the exhaust hose is as straight and short as possible to maximize cooling efficiency.
Attention: Connecting the exhaust hose is crucial for discharging hot air outside, which significantly improves the cooling effect.
- Drain Hose Connection (Optional but Recommended):
- While the ZAFRO AC features a self-evaporative system, it is recommended to connect the drain hose for continuous drainage, especially during frequent use in high-humidity environments, to prevent water collection and potential leakage.
- Locate the drainage port on the unit (typically at the bottom rear). Remove the rubber stopper and firmly attach the provided drain hose.
- Direct the other end of the drain hose into a suitable container or floor drain, ensuring it is positioned lower than the unit's drainage port for gravity flow.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
