I lost my manual but need to know if when running the heater do I still need to have the exhaust tube? Also I went from cool to heat for the first time and it blew a little water out onto the floor.

Never shows how to install with sliding windows that slide open to the left and close by sliding right.

You didn't show installation. You only talked about operation. SMH

I just purchased the unit and I've been trying to find out the recommended time for letting it settle before turning it on. I've download and read Midea's manual for the unit I purchased and nowhere in it does it mention the time the unit should sit before turning on. Most online "experts" suggest 24 hours while most other manufacturers manuals recommend a minimum of 4 hours. I'm curious has this ever been test to determine the actual number of hours or is this a guess?

The draining instructions are seriously flawed because it assumes everyone has a floor level drain such that in a shower stall, when most don't. The floor level drain will have to be elevated for the majority of users, unless they're okay with unhooking it, wheeling it to bathroom, and lifting it into a tub, draining it, and then wheeling it back to be hooked up again. After use for some time, some units require draining every few hours (varies), and your instructions then become not only flawed but downright impractical. So as I see it the only way to resolve this is to install the unit on a solid flat platform with at least 6 inches of elevation and a large enough container to catch the drainage.

Had mine running a lot in the past when I had ferrets, but now no pets, and it still smells like ferrets when the air blows out of it. Is there any way to clean it beyond the filters to help get rid of that old pet smell?

Unfortunately this video tells me nothing. I want to get a 10, 000 BTU but there's something about needing to install it on a phone app which I have no cell service or wi fi. i cannot find any info on whether it has just a remote or not.

[gilliand]

is there supposed to be a covering over the exhaust tube? or it’s it supposed to just be open in the window? im scared about rain water or bugs getting in

Great job on video
calling customer service is pointless I was missing the foam seal and they told me to return the entire air conditioner- ridiculous

[carlosandceciaponte]

Do you offer an adapter to vent the unit directly to the outside as opposed to a window.

[rtmdlawncare]

So even when used for heating the condensate hose must be attached ?

Does the unit operate at ambient temperature more than 35 C° the employee said that it will disconnect if the ambient temperature outside the room reaches 38 C° and it will be useless he also said that it is an auxiliary AC used with central ACs not used single
Is that true ??

In dry mode, do I need the hose connect all the time or will a reservoir fill up and i can drain after? I ran this for a few hours in my bedroom and dont have a drain nearby except for a pan or jug and this accumulates rather quickly.

What is the panel dimensions? I’m looking to install this with my sliding patio door and need to purchase additional panels online. It would help if you could share the dimensions of the panel.

My toddler put a piece of paper through the grille on the top. I need to open it up to get the paper out. Is there a way to easily open up the grille?

[alyssacontreras]

I have this same model in the video, it has never given us issues. This season we went to install as usual and it won’t turn on at all. There is an initial glitch flicker when I press the reset button but it doesn’t turn on. Any tips?

[dynamicmultimedia]

Can you just put a hose on the 3rd drain outlet with the pump for all modes? Why are there 3 different drain holes on this thing..?

What is the cord length in feet for the Midea DUO 14, 000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner?

[JoseAVenegas]

My new unit is alternating the temperature and the "EC" code, also when running diagnostics, it throws this message "outdoor exhaust gas sensor"... any clues on how to fix it?.. thank you!

[Jessie_qt]

Why does my unit smell? I’ve already drained the water, how do I clean the tank can’t seem to find any videos

I know any question that is asked will be answered with the copy and paste corporate line: "please contact facebook". Well I don't have face book and I don't want facebook. Why can't questions be answered here?
