INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location

The air conditioner should be placed on a hard and level surface strong enough to support the

unit. The unit has casters and it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution

when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.

Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet and allow at least 20 inch of clearance

for efficient air-conditioning.

Exhaust hose Installation

When you use this air conditioner unit, hot air must be

exhausted out of the room to complete the air

exchange of the condenser. When the unit is operating

in DRY or FAN only mode, no exhaust is required.

1. Pull out about 6” of one end of the exhaust

hose.

2. Install the flat mouth exhaust connector on the

exhaust hose. See Fig. 18a and 18b

3. Push in the exhaust hose into the air outlet port

at the back of the unit. Fig. 19 and Fig. 20.

4. Only extend the exhaust hose to the necessary

length. We do not recommend extending the

exhaust hose more than 9' long. If you are

interested in purchasing an additional 5‟

exhaust hose please contact

info@whynter.com for retail sales information.

Wall Installation

1. Prepare an adequate sized hold in the wall.

2. Install the wall exhaust adaptor A into the wall

opening and hold it into place using the 4

expansion plugs and wooden screws. (See

Fig.21)

3. Attach the exhaust hose to wall exhaust

adaptor A.

NOTE: When the air conditioner is not in use,

cover the wall exhaust adaptor with the cap.

IMPORTANT:

Do not bend or crush the exhaust hose while in

use. (Fig.22)

Window kit Installation

When you use this air conditioner unit, hot air must be exhausted out of the room to complete

the air exchange of the condenser. When the unit is operating in fan-only mode, no exhaust is

required. Your window kit has been designed to fit most

standard vertical and horizontal windows.

However, it may be necessary for you to modify the

installation procedures for your window. Please

refer to Fig. 8 & Fig.9 for minimum and maximum

window openings.

NOTE: If your window opening is less than the

mentioned minimum length of the window slider kit,

cut the slide bar with hole to fit window opening.

Never cut out the hole on the window slide bar.

NOTE: When using the window kit on a window or

sliding door it will cause the window or sliding door

not to be properly closed and locked. Additional

security measurements maybe needed.

The window slide bars can be fixed with a bolt. Fig.
