Installing the Carbon Filter Caution: Never operate the air conditioner without the pre-filter attached. Your portable air conditioner ships with a pre-filter and an activated carbon filter. The carbon filter will help remove contaminates and odors from the air. It is recommended you replace the carbon filter every three to six months, or as needed.
Window Kit Installation Instructions Preparations for Installing the Window Kit You must vent your portable air conditioner when running it in cooling mode. Your unit includes a window exhaust kit that can be used to vent the unit out of a window. Before you begin, make sure you have all the parts necessary for installation.
Installing the Grated Adapter 1. Insert the round grated adapter through the back grooved side of the window kit plate into the hole. 2. Secure the grated adapter by fastening the screws from the flat side of the window kit plate to the holes on the grated adapter.
Installing the Window Plates 3. Open your window and place the window kit on the window sill with the grooved side facing outward. Then slide the window kit plate out to fit the width of the window. You can use screws to secure the window kit plate and keep it from sliding.
