Product presentation
This window air conditioner, which embarrassingly purchased just two days after committing to save cash and keep it in your apartment not covered this summer, is supplied with vents, a temperature yetton and a cooling yetton. There are other notable facets of this unit, however, they have no value to explain to you. You know slightly what those words mean and you only ordered this style because it was the first indexed element when it filtered through “price, from lowest to highest”.
Before first use
Check for damage that may have happened during transport. Recognize that the device was badly damaged, probably due to the fact that he randomly lifted this massive piece of steel on 3 flights of stairs to his small apartment. Suppose the pain isn’t that bad.
Keep packaging out of children’s success. I’m kidding, you probably don’t have kids. Place the packing fabrics anywhere you want. You’ll throw them away in about two weeks.
Installation
Step 1: Place the rail on the main unit with the 4 screws provided. Oh, wait, it looks like you’ve already lost the screws. Skip this step and hope everything’s okay.
Step 2: Slide the accordion fins left and right to have compatibility with the frame of your window, then place the product on the window sill. At this point, you will recognize that the AC unit you purchased has the length and shape of its window. How did you intend to know that other windows require other units? You’re not a window expert! Soldier as if nothing had happened.
Step 3: Cut the adhesive foam and paste it on the most sensitive rail of the unit. You had to do it first, but you misunderstand the instructions. Good luck cutting the foam with one hand while the other struggles with alternating current!
Step 4: Accept the fact that you have never tried to do it yourself. Scream for your roommate to come and help you.
Step 5: When your roommate arrives, give him a competitive signal to do something to him, anything. Please note that you have no idea what you are doing and that you had a very pleasant afternoon before you forced her to participate in your wrong attempt to choose the existing installation.
Step 6: Close the window to keep the device in place. Thank God that his window overlooks an ugly and deserted courtyard, so when life alternates inevitably falls backwards through the window, it would possibly not harm anyone.
Step 7: Turn on your new air conditioner, return and enjoy new air jets combined with a deafening mechanical sound.
