how to install [product]

• Choose a location with unobstructed airflow and access to a standard 120V electrical outlet. Ensure the site has enough clearance on all sides for proper intake and exhaust and as recommended by the user manual.
• Place the unit on a level surface or wheels that allow easy movement, and verify stability before operation.
• Attach the exhaust hose securely to the unit and route it to a window, vent, or through-wall outlet. Seal gaps to prevent warm air from re-entering the space and to optimize cooling efficiency.
• Plug into the appropriate outlet and power on the unit. Set the thermostat to your desired room temperature and select cooling mode. Start with a moderate fan speed and adjust to balance cooling performance with noise and energy use.
• Monitor condensate and drainage as required by the manual. Empty or drain the reservoir if applicable, and ensure the unit remains level and unobstructed during operation for best results.
