Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT - GROUNDING METHOD

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. Never use the cord, the plug, or the appliance when they show any sign of damage. Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a qualified electrical supplier. Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons associated with the appliance. Check with a qualified service representative if in doubt that the appliance is properly grounded.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:

1. The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance.
2. The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
3. The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced.
4. The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2012/19/EU.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

DISPOSAL

Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.

It is prohibited to dispose of this appliance in domestic household waste.

For disposal, there are several possibilities:

1. The municipality has established collection systems where electronic waste can be disposed of free of charge.
2. As old products contain valuable resources, they can be sold to scrap metal dealers.

Wild disposal of waste in forests and landscapes endangers your health. Hazardous substances leak into the groundwater and find their way into the food chain.

3. Install the hose inlet into the unit.

A diagram illustrates hose connection steps.

Attach the hose outlet into the window slider kit and seal. The window slider kit is designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window applications. However, it may be necessary to modify some aspects of the installation procedures for certain types of windows. The window slider kit can be fastened with screws.

Diagrams show vertical and horizontal window slider kit installation.

NOTE: If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the window slider kit, cut on the opposite side of the hole to fit the window opening. Never cut the hole on the Window slider kit.

Operating Instructions

WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION

Parts:

• A) Panel (The second panel may not be supplied)
• B) Panel with one hole
• C) Panel without hole (may not be supplied)
• D) Screw to lock window kit in place

Assembly:

1. Slide Panel B and C into Panel A to the window width. When adjusting the window width, make sure that the Window kit assembly is free from gaps and/or air pockets when taking measurements.
2. Lock the holes with screws. Make sure that there are no gaps or air pockets in the Window kit assembly after installation.

Diagrams illustrate the assembly of the window slider kit.

Diagrams illustrate clearance requirements and hose routing.

DOUBLE-HUNG SASH/SLIDING CASEMENT WINDOW INSTALLATION

1. Cut the foam seal (adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it to the window sash.
2. Attach the window slider kit to the window sash. Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the width of the window. The width of the window should be more than 20 inches but less than 53 inches.
3. Cut the foam seal (adhesive type) to the proper length and attach it on the window.
4. Close the window securely against the window slider kit.
5. Secure the window slider kit to the window sash.
6. Cut the foam seal to an appropriate length and seal the open gap between the top window frame and outer window frame.
