The Internal Water Tank and Draining

During normal use, most of the moisture collected will be evaporated internally by the unit and expelled through the Exhaust (4).
However, the internal water tank will eventually fill to its maximum capacity and the Water Full Indicator (20) will illuminate on the Control Panel (1) to show the tank is full.

Drain the tanks as follows:
A. To empty the upper water tank, take the unit outside, unscrew and remove the Upper Tank Drain Cover (6) at the rear of the unit and allow the tank to drain. If desired attach the Drain Hose (38) to the outlet to allow for easier draining.

B. To empty the lower water tank, take the unit outside, unscrew and remove the Lower Tank Drain Cover (9) and allow the tank to drain. If desired attach the Drain Hose (38) to the outlet to allow for easier draining.

Alternatively connect the Drain Hose (38) to the lower tank drain and lead it outside to the drain the tank(s) continuously. (The upper tank will drain into the lower tank).
Ensure that the Upper Tank Drain Cover (6) and Lower Tank Drain Cover (9) are replaced before using the unit again.
The amount of water collected by the tank and the frequency of draining is caused by the relative humidity levels which will vary and will depend on several factors:

1. Avoid placing the Air Conditioner near kitchens or bathrooms (though not in the bathroom!).
2. Avoid drying washing in the same room as the Air Conditioner.
3. Damp weather outside will affect the amount of water collected especially when it is raining.

Cleaning the Air Filter

1. Before cleaning the air filter, ensure that the unit is disconnected from the mains supply before removing.

2. To clean the filter, remove the Air Filter Cover (5) on the rear of the unit by pulling at the two cut outs (arrowed right) at the top of the cover.
   Remove the filter from the cover and clean in lukewarm (40˚C) water with a mild detergent.

3. After washing allow the filter to dry naturally, laid flat to avoid stretching.

4. Once dry, refit the filter to the Air Filter Cover (5) and then replace the cover into the unit by inserting the two tabs (arrowed right) at the bottom of the cover into the slots at the bottom of the Air Inlet (7) and then push the cover until it clicks home.

Above: The Air Filter is located behind the Air Filter Cover on the rear of the unit. To remove the cover, pull at the two cut outs arrowed above.

Ensure that the filter has thoroughly dried before refitting it to the unit.
DO NOT use the unit without the filter fitted.

Safety Shut-Off
The unit is fitted with an automatic high temperature shut off device, if the Air Inlet (7) or Exhaust (4) are blocked the unit will shut down safely.
After clearing the blockage, allow 5 minutes before restarting the unit.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the surface of the unit with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Excess dust etc. can be removed from grilles and exhaust using the nozzle attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
