4.3 Exhaust Hose Connection
Connect the exhaust hose to the unit and then to the window kit. Ensure the hose is extended and not kinked to allow for efficient hot air expulsion. The included exhaust hose sleeve helps reduce heat radiation.
4.4 Drainage Setup
The unit features a self-evaporating system, reducing the need for frequent drainage. However, in high humidity conditions or when using the Dry mode, manual drainage may be required. Connect the drain hose to the lower drain port for continuous drainage, or use the upper drain for manual emptying.
