Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Keep the original packaging for future storage or if servicing is required.

The window kit is designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal windows. Adjust the window slider panel to the width or height of your window opening. Secure the panel in place.
3. Exhaust Hose Connection
Attach the exhaust hose to the unit and then to the window kit adapter. Ensure a tight seal to prevent hot air from re-entering the room.
