Questions & Answers
How easy is this to clean
Asked by Molly October 25, 2020Hello Molly, thank you for your question! We recommend you follow the care and cleaning instructions for this air conditioner, found on page 7 of the owner's manual, linked here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/83/83f0ca6e-18c0-4ec0-baf9-288bd9ee9ddf.pdf We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. – CV
Can I leave this air conditioner in my window during the winter?
Asked by maggiemay123 October 15, 2020I would not leave it in. You'll get a lot of air leakage through and around the unit, even using the foam inserts included to help seal along the accordion bellows. I used to leave our AC units in and cover them. With newer ones, though, it seems like it's harder to get them sealed.
My window is 34" wide. Do the accordions go out far enough to fill that extra space?? Thanks!!
Asked by Selene October 1, 2020It fit in mine just fine & mines 35 “
Can I install in a wall instead of window
Asked by James September 17, 2020It will work as a wall unit as long as you reinforce the outside support with a V support.
can this unit be installed in a permanent inside wall?
Asked by bear September 13, 2020Ok I hope the wall is an exterior wall and the rear of the unit will be out doors. In that case yes. If it's truly going on an interior wall and the rest of the machine will be in another room , nope don't do it.
