do u take out the styrofoam fom the inside unit or leave it on?

i left mine in since i believe you would have to disassemble the case to get it out, and it isn't likely the manufacturer would expect you to have to do that! i believe the styrofoam inside the case is some type of insulation and the Frigidaire brands have the same styrofoam inside the unit.

take ALL the Styrofoam and plastic off the outside of the unit ... put it in your window and plug it in.

It has been a while since I ordered this item but I know we did not take the unit apart to remove anything. I don't recall any Styrofoam in the unit. I know this does not help. Try going to Artic King's web site and see if they have a frequently asked forum.

if you are referring to the packing material i believe you would remove it. but with out seeing a picture i can't be sure what you are referring to.

Hey Darlene, can you be a bit more specific? Mine came with black foam which I cut and molded to help the unit snugly fit against my window. I don't remember any foam being inside the unit, however.

Expanded polystyrene foam is a standard in window AC units. It is excellent as an air channel because it is both light weight, and insulates well. Do NOT remove styrofoam from _INSIDE_ of the unit. The foam is used to separate the hot outside air from your conditioned indoor air. It can be viewed through the ACs cold output air duct. TLDR; Leave it there.

You can leave it in, just takes up some space so you can't use the entire grill space.

I honestly don't know. I purchased all individual units. I would think that both units would heat up so it might not be a good idea to leave one empty.

I personally leave it on the base all the time except when I'm using it in the house or garage. I do remove it to use in other areas besides the car and it works great. i'm buying another one for the wife.

Hi. To take the mesh out, just twist it counterclockwise. Use a damp towel to clean the unit. Hope that helps!

You can do either, I leave mine out on the counter. Makes my kitchen smell amazing.

i do not leave mine on all the time. but then, i am not using it daily. i do keep it on during the whole day that i am using it though. when i am done, i unplug the unit, empty the water tray, and prop the door open to ventilate. i hope this was useful for you.

You have to remove the case. I'm not aware of any unit that would allow you to leave the case on.

You can leave it open or use a fabric liner. It really depends on where it's going to be set up.

Mine stays at boathouse. Leave it out until gas smell goes away. Take batteries out so they don't corrode in unit.

No. The unit has a removable tank that you must empty. Minor inconvenience.

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

The partition inside is removable insofar as you can choose to leave it out when you are building the item. You would have to disassemble the item or break the partition apart to remove it after assembly is complete, though.

I have used these in window units. You just have to tuck it somewhere the condensate will dissolve it. There is usually a little room under the coils in the lower left corner - careful not to squish the styrofoam.

Haven't needed to. I fill the 'tray' part as level as possible and securely put the top half back on. After rinsing and some small particles come out, I don't have a problem.

No, I leave mine on the vent all the time. comes off pretty easy, there are two thicknesses for the vent so it stays on tight I just bought three more for friends, no more of that ugly plastic

No the Styrofoam stays inside the unit. It is what keeps the outside air OUTSIDE. As for the smell mine was gone within about 3 days of nonstop running. I did not find it unpleasant at all. If your smell is offensive or lasts I would contact Frigidaire........
