Installing Vent Panels

1. Attach the long adhesive foam weather seals to the top and bottom sides of the window vent panel assembly. Attach the short foam weather seals to the right and left sides of the panel assembly. (Attaching the foam weather seals to the panel assembly rather than the window sash and frame makes for easier cleanup when removing the panel assembly.)
   
2. Insert the panel assembly in the bottom sash channel. Use care when installing the assembly, which will now fit very tightly in the opening. Close the sash tightly against the top of the panel assembly.
   
3. If needed, install the included security bracket with screws.
   
4. Measure and cut the included non-adhesive foam to fit the window opening. Stuff it between the window sashes to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.
   
5. Align the tabs on the diffuser with slots in the outer slide section. Insert the diffuser into the opening in the vent panel.
   
6. Insert the screw in the hole in the diffuser to prevent the diffuser from sliding out of the vent opening.
   

NOTE

• For a tighter seal, use "no residue" duct tape (not provided) to seal any gaps around the installed panel assembly, around the diffuser, and between the sashes.
  
  
• For best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible. However, shape the diffuser end of the vent hose into an inverted U shape just inside the window to allow any rain or condensation to drain out the window.
  

Garden Hose Installation for Dehumidifying (Dry Mode Only)

1. Remove the drain plug when using the Dry (dehumidifying) mode.
   
2. Install a 5/8" (16 mm) inside diameter garden hose (not provided) into the continuous drain port and place the open end of the hose over a floor drain or bucket.
   

NOTE

• Install the garden hose when you need dehumidification in high humidity.
