Introduction

Step 1

              Check that everything is there               

• The most important place for any homeowner to start when figuring out how to install a portable air conditioner is an inventory. This means going through every item in the box to see what is missing. It also means checking the parts are in working order. Key features include the window slider, hose, screws and the remote.

              The refrigerant in the unit needs to settle               

• The refrigerant in the unit needs to settle This is a fundamental step, but one that many people may forget. The refrigerant is an essential component for cooling the air in these machines. But, it needs to settle in the right place before it can work. This is achievable by simply standing the device upright for a while.

Step 3

              The hose               

• The hose is a vital piece of kit with these portable machines. There should be a series of connectors to hook to the hose. This should create an airtight seal with a little easy rotation into place. Checking that seal for a functional exhaust is essential. The tabs on the connector should then snap onto corresponding tabs on the air conditioner.

Step 4

              The window slider               

• This exhaust directs the air away from the home and its occupants and out of the house. So, there must be an exit point in the window. The window slider fits on the inside rim, with screws to anchor it in place. Again, this needs a tight seal, which is why the kits have adjustable widths.

Step 5

              Finish the exhaust point               

• The air conditioning unit then needs to go in place by the window, so that users can connect the other end of the hose to the window kit. This creates that perfect seal and exhaust system from the machine to the exterior of the property.

Step 6

              Get the machine running               

• From there, the only thing left to do to turn on the portable AC machine and make sure everything works. A simple cycle should highlight any faults in the settings, mechanics or seals in the hose. This could take a little time, with a few resets. Once it is over, with no problems, the installation process is complete.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

With all that being said. I have one question.

How can one add Freon to their portable AC. such as the Haier HPP08XCR. It says it uses R-410A
