How do you exhaust or get fresh air into room? The instructions are not clear.

Hi Donald. The AC has a fan setting that will act as a regular fan to bring in the outside air. I have been using this AC for about 1 year now and it is really up to the job of cooling. Especially like the energy save setting. Use it at night.

There is a small white knob behind the louvers you can pull out to (in theory) bring fresh air in - it does not really work in my experience - it has a tiny cross section. The fan setting will not bring in outside air, it only shuts off the compressor and draws room air through the filter, over the (room temperature) evaporator coils, and out the outlet, circulating the existing room air. It works well to cool the air but does not really bring in outside air in my experience.

Donald, there's a "Fan" mode, as D. Allen mentioned. I've also had good luck with this model.

If I recall, squeeze the base of the air valves and try blowing. It takes a bit of effort to squeeze the valves and blow at the same time,if I can remember correctly. Let me know if it works :-)

No venting needed, if you room is very tight you might want to get a little fresh air.

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

you place this unit in the supply air grill in the room your trying to get more air flow into and low the temperature of the room. As the air is blowing in your room that you have put this unit in. This unit has air blowinto the unit and blows out the air from the unit with an increase of air blowing in your room now with a lower temperature as well.

I just bought this unit and set it up. My recommendation is not to purchase this one but one that has venting out the front bottom. This unit is meant to have open free standing in a room. Under counter types vent air from front back out where ever but not pulling air from back and vent to the back like this one does. Hope this helps.

You want the fan to push the air out of the exhaust vent. On my fan, the housing outlet is positioned so that if the fan turns one way, the air is blown into the outlet. If it turns the other way it isn't and the fan is less effective. I suspect most housings are similarly designed.

The unit usually comes with only one tube for the exhaust to the outside. The problem is that the air that is expelled outside must be replaced inside the room which causes the air conditioner to suck air into the room even though it is closed up through any opening it can find such as under the door or through other openings around windows or walls at the mopboard. I always purchase a second tube for the intake air from outside to replace the exhaust air so that the room can maintain a seal and allow the air conditioner to operate more efficiently instead of drawing unwanted warm air into the room to make up for the exhaust air lost to the outside. When you read the owners information, you can see how to purchase the additional tube and fittings or you can go on-line to get it. I also fabricated my own window insert made out of thick plexiglass for the window connection so that it doesn't look like the window has changed in appearance. I line up the two tubes with the exhaust tube on top as hot air rises and the cooler intake air tube on the bottom. Works perfectly! You will have this problem with any portable air conditioner you buy, but you are lucky that this is one of the few brands that has made provision for you to connect the second intake air tube as most do not.

The exit exhaust blows VERY hot air out. I don't think it would work, the air exiting is much hotter than the machine is cooling. I bought 6 of these, meant to only buy three and had a nightmare with the vendor. See my review before buying. Also, the unit does not cool nearly as well as the description says. It seems to get a SMALL room down to about 73 but no further. A big size room it is marginal at best.

Hold in your hand and put your lips onto the opening hole on top and inhale. I keep mine away from dust and Pet hair. Use as much as you like. Keep on a desk maybe or some place where you can use it while you sit there working. Hope this was helpful.

You have to plug this item indoors, which defeats the purpose of de-humidifying a room. The instructions suggest a garage or some area of the home where one can afford extra humidity. I live in an apartment, so this is a HUGE problem in the summer, when I have excessive humidity. There is no easy solution to this problem if you cannot affford any extra humidity while the Eva-dry re-charges. Sorry.

The instruction stated to have it well ventilated. Mine is not under any counter it's standing along to keep temp steady

What type of ceiling are you trying to circulate air through? Are you pulling air into an attic? If it is a acoustical type ceiling. I would suggest an lay in vent with the fan mounted in an outside wall above the ceiling. I don't think the fan was design for that application, it does blow pretty hard. Try calling Fantech, they might say other wise.

Unzip at the base, make sure all the air is out. I put the blowers in first, then gently stuff the rest of the fabric.

I use a filtered duct cover in the room..attached to the intake duct. It does restrict airflow.. so remember to " upsize" intake vent..

There's an exhaust on one of the sides. You have to vacuum in favor of the exhaust side to keep the dirt swept up from blowing anywhere.

I use cans of air...air dusters, they are called. My fan has screws to take the back off...check again. But i do the air thing at mid summer, end of summer and end of spring. plus there are swiffer dusters that you can use by hand as well.
