Installation Instructions

Step 1: Unpack Air Conditioner

WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard - Use two or more people to move and install. Failure to do so can result in injury.

• Remove all packaging materials. Save the carton and foam for storage.
• Dispose of/recycle packaging materials properly.
• Handle the air conditioner gently and keep it upright and level. Do not set it on its side, front, back, or upside down.

Step 2: Install Exhaust Nozzle to Main Window Panel

• Hold the main window panel with L-shaped edges facing you.
• Align the exhaust nozzle with the slots in the panel opening and insert/slide it to access the hole.
• Turn the panel over, insert a flat screw through the hole to fasten the nozzle to the panel.
• For dual hose units, install the smaller hose nozzle to the left-hand hole.

Step 3: Install Main Window Panel and Extension Panels

• Open the window and place the main window panel into the window frame. The assembly accommodates vertical or horizontal slide windows.
• Adjust extension panel(s) to fit the window width or height.
• Use two or four flat screws to secure the main panel to the extension panel(s).
• Place the window panel assembly in the window and fasten it to the sill and frame using the provided screws.
• Install the security bracket using a pointed screw to prevent the window from being opened from the outside.
• Use foam strips and brackets (provided) to secure extension panels and fill any gaps in the window opening.

Step 4: Attach Exhaust Hose to the Exhaust Nozzle

• Grasp both ends of the exhaust hose and gently pull to expand it. Do not attach additional hoses, as this reduces cooling efficiency and may damage the unit.
• Using a counterclockwise motion, attach the open end of the exhaust hose to the exhaust nozzle.

Step 5: Connect Exhaust Hose to the Air Conditioner

Ensure the air conditioner is close enough to the window so the hose does not dislodge the window seal plate.

• Align the notches on the connector end of the exhaust hose with the ridges in the opening on the back of the air conditioner.
• Snap the connector end of the hose into the air outlet on the back of the unit.
• After connecting the hose, move the air conditioner to its final position, maintaining at least 20 inches (51 cm) clearance from the wall.

Step 6: Complete Installation

• Plug the power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Press the Reset button on the power cord to ensure the safety plug is providing power to the air conditioner.
