The window sealing kit helps to prevent hot air from re-entering the room and improves cooling efficiency.
- Open the window and adjust the window sealing plate to fit the opening. Secure it in place.
- Insert the flat end of the exhaust hose into the opening of the window sealing plate.
- Close the window as much as possible to seal around the plate and hose.
