2. Window Kit and Exhaust Hose Installation
The exhaust hose expels hot air outdoors. Proper installation is crucial for efficient cooling.
- Attach the exhaust hose to the adaptor.
- Connect the adaptor to the exhaust air outlet on the back of the unit.
- Assemble the window slide bar kit according to your window size (minimum 9 inches / 23 cm, maximum 47 inches / 120 cm).
- Insert the window slide bar kit into the window opening.
- Connect the other end of the exhaust hose to the opening in the window slide bar.
- Ensure all connections are secure to prevent hot air from re-entering the room.

3. Drainage Setup
The unit features an auto-evaporative system, which typically handles condensation. However, for continuous drainage, especially in high humidity, you can connect a drain hose.
- Locate the continuous drainage hole at the back of the unit.
- Connect a suitable drain hose (not included, unless specified) to this outlet.
- Direct the other end of the drain hose to a floor drain or a collection bucket, ensuring it is lower than the unit's drain outlet for gravity flow.

Water Drainage
The unit has an auto-evaporative system. If the internal water tank becomes full, the unit will stop operating and display an error code (e.g., "FL" for full). In such cases, or for long-term storage, manual drainage is required.
- Turn off the unit and unplug it.
- Place a shallow pan or tray under the drainage outlet at the bottom rear of the unit.
- Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.

Internal Purification Function
To prevent mold and maintain cleanliness, run the fan for a while after stopping operation to dissipate internal heat and humidity. This function helps reduce the risk of unpleasant odors and allergies caused by mold.
