I see that most portable AC Machines come with a vent kit and shows a window that opens by pulling up.. Does this vent kit work with a window that you pull sideways to slide open?

Yes, I have mine set up that way. It would help if you had something to keep the window in place if it's not heavy enough (I use a sliding window lock that screws in).

Yes I does. It comes with a venting kit for your window with the unit. Easy to install! Unit is great for a bedroom!

It will work both ways. Vent comes set up to work inside but (in my case) I converteed it to vent outside. Easly done. H.

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 owners guide says; "WINDOW KIT INSTALLATIONWhen the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the unit draws in fresh outdoor air and exhausts hot airout of the room to complete the air exchange. When the unit is operating in fan mode no outdoor air exchange takesplace. The window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed when the unit is used as a fan.NOTE: The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 7 ft. long(approximate length)"

Yes. My windows slide sideways to open and close. The problem is that the spacers that they give you to block the rest of the opening might not be long enough to fully block out the outside air so you may need to buy some plexiglass from a hardware store to ensure a tight seal.

To utilize the included vent kit, it would need to placed within four feet or so of a window. Even if you are going to rig up your own ventilation system, it still requires the ability to vent into a space that is not being conditioned/dehumidified.

This device is designed to work with window unit air conditioners. While it may work with a portable AC it's recommended against in the instructions.

Sliding up? Easy, slide up window, put it in place and slide the window down on it. Use the foam tape they provide. Should work for windows sliding sideways too. They also included screws for more permanent placement, but I didn't bother with that. It can expand to fit your window. Takes 2 minutes to install. Hope this helps.

I assume you're asking based on the picture. The unit comes with a removeable solid back piece covering up the venting screen. You remove it prior to installing the AC into the sleeve. I guess it's there so you can install the unit without having an opening to your house and it's useful if you remove the AC for service to cover the opening. I've bought different ones in the past and they all come with cover that is removed. Hope that helps.

No, it does not. The inside air handler is a closed system, and does NOT have any vents that open to outside air. Only larger units would have this option, and unfortunately, even those are usually too small to be effective. Best option is to open a window elsewhere and put a fan in it to bring in outside air.

The hoses are used to vent the AC out the window. I'm not venting mine though. What good is a portable unit if it has to be by the window? I haven't had any problems by not venting it, so I don't plan on doing it in the future.

The ac will pull air from the room and during the conversion process pull the heat out of said air. Then blow the cool air back into the room. The vent to the outside is to give the heat that is removed somewhere to go. Otherwise there is no where for it to disipate to other than back into the room.

Good afternoon, you may use the window installation kit to vent exhaust air outside. In order to use the window kit for the vent, you will need to remove the screen. You may check the link for the manual for a better idea. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/715586/Lg-Lp1014wnr.html?page=16#manual

The A/C comes with an exhaust hose and window kit. You need to install the exhaust hose through the window so that the warm air can be vented out.

Yes, this unit requires an exhaust through a window. I'm not aware of any non-exhausting portable a/c. Good luck.
