Your optional, 2-piece Window Slider Kit has been

designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal

windows (Fig. 2 & 3). However, it may be necessary

to cut the Slider shorter to fit windows that are less

than 2.22 ft. (67.5 cm) wide (Type I) or less than 1.84

ft. (56.2 cm) wide (Type II). See Fig. 4 below for

minimum and maximum window openings (A) that the

Window Slider Kit will fit without modification.

1. Cut 1 piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the proper

length, raise the window sash and attach the foam

to the window stool (Fig. 5)

2. Adjust the length of the Window Slider Kit to the

width of the window. Shorten the Slider if the width

of the window is less than 26.5” (Type I) or 22.1”

(Type II). Place the Window Slider kit on top of the

Adhesive Foam Seal (Fig. 6)

3. Cut another piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the

proper length and attach it to the top of the Window

Slider Kit. Close the window sash securely against

the Top of the Window Slider Kit (Fig. 7).

4. Cut a third piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the

appropriate length to seal any gap between the

top window sash and outer window sash (Fig. 8).

The air conditioner should be placed on a firm

surface to minimize noise and vibration. For safe

and secure operation, place the unit on a smooth,

level floor strong enough to support it.

The unit has casters to aid in moving but it should

only be rolled across smooth, flat surfaces. Use

caution when rolling on carpeted surfaces. Do not

attempt to roll the unit over objects.

The unit must be placed within reach of a properly

rated and grounded socket.

Allow at least 12” (30cm) of space from the wall for

efficient air conditioning. (Fig. 1)

Place the Window Slider Kit into the window opening

with one side snugly against the foam (Fig. 10)

1. Remove drain plug from the back of the unit (Fig. 16).

2. Connect standard 5/8” garden hose (not included).

3. Route hose to secure drain. Make sure there are no

kinks and the hose drains freely.

NOTE: For double duct design, water drainage is not

required during regular cooling operation. Connecting a

drain hose will actually reduce efficiency.

1. Install flexible intake and exhaust hoses on collars

in the back of the unit (Fig. 13).

2. Install Adapter B on the other end of hoses (Fig. 14)

and insert into Window Slider Kit openings (see previous

pages for Window Slider Kit installation).

Hoses can be stretched if necessary, but should be kept to

the shortest length possible.

IMPORTANT: Do not overbend the hoses. Make sure there

are no obstacles near the air intake or exhaust outlet so the

system vents properly.

The Vent Control is located on the back of the unit (Fig. 15).

The OPEN position removes stale air from the room and

is not needed, set Vent Control to CLOSE.

Clean the air filter at least once every two weeks to prevent

dust buildup that will reduce efficiency.

TO REMOVE: Grasp the air filter tab and pull out

and up (Fig. 18).

TO CLEAN: Wash the air filter by immersing it gently in

warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse and dry away

from direct sunlight.

TO REPLACE: Insert bottom of filter behind lower tabs

in opening. Push top in and snap into place.
