Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the efficient operation of your portable air conditioner. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Window Kit Installation:

1. Measure your window opening. The window panel kit is designed for windows between 20 and 53 inches wide (for sliding windows) or high (for hung windows).
2. Assemble the window panels to fit your window opening. Use the provided screws to secure the panels.
3. Insert the assembled window panel into the window opening. Extend the adjustable panel to fit snugly and secure it.
4. Seal any gaps around the window kit with the provided non-adhesive foam to prevent air leakage.
5. For wooden windows, optional security brackets can be installed by drilling pilot holes and screwing the brackets into the window frame. This is not recommended for metal-framed windows.

2. Connecting the Dual Hoses:
