When the unit is operating in fan mode, the window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed . MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE • Choose a suitable location, near a grounded electrical outlet and suitable window or door. Remove packaging and locate components. • Extend both ends of the exhaust hose approximately 6 inches. • Screw the REAR and FRONT Exhaust Hose Adapters onto each end of the exhaust hose. Once both adapters are attached, attach the Window Kit Adapter to the REAR Exhaust Hose Adapter. • Connect the FRONT Exhaust Hose Adapter to the back of your portable air conditioner. • Attach the Window Kit Adapter to the window kit. • For maximum efficiency bend the exhaust hose as little as possible once installation is complete.
