3. Exhaust Hose Connection
- Attach one end of the exhaust hose to the exhaust outlet on the back of the air conditioner unit.
- Attach the other end of the exhaust hose to the adapter in the window sealing kit.
- Ensure the hose is stretched as straight as possible and is not kinked or bent sharply, as this can reduce efficiency.
4. Drainage Setup
The unit will collect condensed water during operation. You have two drainage options:
- Continuous Drainage: For prolonged use, connect the provided drain pipe to the continuous drainage port at the back of the unit and direct it to a floor drain or a suitable container.
- Manual Drainage: For intermittent use, the unit has an internal water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will stop operating and display an indicator. Drain the water by removing the drain plug at the bottom rear of the unit and allowing the water to flow into a pan.
