USER TIPS
Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser and evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is dehumidified and cooled while a flexible Hose sends heat outside. The air conditioner includes a window venting kit. No permanent installation is needed. The unit is easy to move from room to room and offers a truly flexible air conditioning solution.
Auto Evaporation System – The unit automatically evaporates the condensate through the Hose. There is no need to empty the drainage tank except in very humid conditions. Read and follow the instructions carefully. To ensure optimal efficiency of the product, keep doors and windows closed when it is used as an air conditioner or dehumidifier. If the product is being used with the fan function only, an open window could improve air circulation.
Important:
Before installing the unit, place it UPRIGHT for 1 hour before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize. Manually adjust the air vent located at the front of the unit to adjust the direction of air flow.
- Follow installation instructions to set up the unit.
- Plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit. DO NOT plug into an extension cord.

INSTALLATION
It is important that the installation instructions below are followed for successful installation of this Portable Air Conditioner. Please call Customer Support if you have any difficulties or queries regarding these installation procedures.
Installation Kit:
- Window Bracket Kit (1 Set)
- Hole Cover (1 Piece)
- Window Bracket Panel Adapter (1 Piece)
- Exhaust Hose (1 Piece)
- Exhaust Hose Connector (1 Piece)
Installation Steps:
Exhaust Hose Connector, Exhaust Hose and window bracket panel adapter are pre-assembled inside the package.
- The Window Brackets are approximatley 19.7″ (50 cm) each, allowing you to install to windows and balcony doors of different heights or width.
To install the window bracket to the window frame, you need to adjust the height or width of the window bracket by extending the length according to the height or width of the window. When the length is set, tighten the Adjustable Knobs (preinstalled on the window bracket) to ensure the window bracket is secured in the desired position. Use one or all two pieces of window bracket as needed.
Note: After setting the window bracket to the size of your window, please remove it from the window and follow the instructions below.
- Connect the Exhaust Hose to the Exhaust Hose Connector on back of the unit. Slide-in the Exhaust Hose Connector. Press the
button to lock the Exhaust Hose Connector in place.
button to lock the Exhaust Hose Connector in place.
- Connect the window bracket to the window bracket panel adapter. Slide-in the window bracket panel adapter then rotate clockwise until it is locked in place.
- Connect the window bracket to the window.
- The Portable Air Conditioner is now ready to use.
IMPORTANT: Do not replace or lengthen the Exhaust Hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
WARNING: Any warranties included with this product will be voided if an extra extension Hose is added to the originally provided installation kit or if the installation is performed differently than the manufacturer’s instructions, without proper consultation. Please contact Customer Support for help with installation procedures if needed.
- The supplied Hose has a diameter of 5.5″ (14 cm) and can be extended from 12″ to 47″ (30 cm to 120 cm).
- Do not bend (to the extent shown below) the Hose. A bent Hose will block exhaust air and cause the unit to malfunction or shut-off.
- Make sure the back of the unit is at least 20″ (50 cm) away from the wall. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.
