WATER DRAINAGE METHODS

Water Drainage:
The air conditioner evaporates condensed water and discharges the moisture through the hot air outlet.
But in some cases it is possible that the unit is not 100% to condensate water evaporation, then the internal water tank is full, the FULL lamp will illuminate and unit will stop running. Follow the steps to drain water

• Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the exhaust hose from the back, and move the conditioner to s suitable drain location or outdoors.
• Remove the base stopper from the base water outlet to drain water.
• Once the internal water tank is drain, reinstall the base stopper, make sure it is on securely.

Place the air conditioer in the desired location, reconnect the exhaust hose, and plug in the air conditioner. The unit will operate normally.
NOTE:When the “FULL”indicator illuminates, there is approximately 1.5L water in the water

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

Continuous Drainage
In the high humidity environment, if possible the user can adopt continuous drainage ways to reduce the number of pouring water. Condensate is discharged by gravity through a hose(no provided). Of couse, the method will reduce the efficiency of the machine.
a) Pulll out the partition plate stopper.
b) Connecting the hose to partition plate joint and lead it to the floor drain.or a suitable area for draining the condensate.

When using the continuous drainage function, the hose must be placed horizontally below the drainage hole. Avoid folding the hose or placing it on an uneven surface.

WARNING Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning. Make sure there is no power to the unit before beginning to maintain or repair, prevent accident caused by elec. shock. CLEANING OF AIR FILTER If the air filter is blocked with a lot of dust, the air flow volume will reduce. Clean the filter once every two weeks. Open and clean the air filter 1. Directly grasp the hook on the bottom to remove the air filters with the direction of the arrow. 2.Wash the air filters by immersing it gently into warm (about 40°C or 104°F) water with a neutral detergent. 3. Rinse the filter of detergent and dry it thoroughly in a shaded place. 4.Install the air filter back to its original place.

See the figure below,install the air exhaust adapter to window kit

The Air Exhaust Hose Mounting Methord
The air exhaust hose is 20cm-160cm in length. It is suggested that the hose should be as short as possible to achieve the maximum energy efficiency ratio when the air conditioner works.If there is a need to extend the hose,please
adopt the best mounting method as the figure shows.And please also pay
attention to the following points:

1. Try to avoid the bendings of the hose.
2. Try to avoid the bendings of the hose near the exhaust air outlet (and the bending point should be at least 50cm a way from the exhaust air outlet.)
3. Keep the smoothness of the whole air exhaust hose.especially in the bending points.Avoid any abrupt steep-angled bandings.
   

Interchangeable Air Outlet/Exhaust Air Outlet Function
See the figure below.Remove the air outlet and the exhaust air outlet respectively.intercharge their location, Install to the unit.

Through the above method,cooling air can be blown to the outdoor or other desired place.
