Troubleshooting
Hose does not fit the air conditioner port.
Verify that your air conditioner has a 5-inch (133mm) diameter exhaust port. If it does, you may need to purchase a compatible adapter for a secure fit. Check the product manual for your air conditioner for specific fitting requirements.
Reduced cooling efficiency after installing the hose.
Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the hose that could restrict airflow. Ensure all connections are airtight. Make sure the hose is not too long for the unit's capacity, which could overwork the motor.
Hose feels flimsy or easily collapses.
This is a flexible hose designed for ease of use. If it's collapsing, ensure there isn't a blockage and that the airflow is sufficient. For a more rigid feel, consider using hose supports or ensuring it's not under undue pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Attach one end of the Spares2go hose to the air conditioner's exhaust port. Secure it firmly.

- If extending, ensure a secure connection between the new hose and the existing hose, or use appropriate connectors if provided with your window kit.
Compatibility:
This hose is designed to fit air conditioning units with a 5-inch (approximately 133mm) diameter exhaust hose connection. It is crucial to measure your existing hose or the connection port on your unit before purchasing to ensure compatibility. While described as universal, some units may require specific adapters if their connection fittings differ.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage, kinks, or tears.
- Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the hose is not excessively strained or bent at sharp angles, as this can impede airflow and potentially damage the hose over time.
- Store the hose rolled loosely when not in use to prevent permanent creases.
