1. Cut 1 piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the proper
length, open the window and attach the foam
to the side of the window frame (Fig. 9)
2. Adjust the length of the Window Slider Kit to the
height of the window. Shorten if the height of the
window is less than 26.5” (Type I) or 22.1” (Type II).
Place the Window Slider Kit into the window opening
with one side snugly against the foam (Fig. 10)
3. Cut another piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the
proper length and attach it to the other side of the
Window Slider Kit. Close the sliding sash securely
against the side of the Window Slider Kit (Fig. 11).
4. Cut a third piece of Adhesive Foam Seal to the
appropriate length to seal any gap between the
window sashes (Fig. 12).

CONNECT EXHAUST HOSE when unit is in
COOL, HEAT (heat pump) or AUTO mode.
DISCONNECT EXHAUST HOSE when unit is in
FAN, DEHUMIDIFY or HEAT (element) mode.

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
exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in through
normal passages in the home. When room air venting
is not needed, set Vent Control to CLOSE.
