AIR CONDITIONER USE

IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its side, wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner to allow the oil to return to the compressor. This will prevent the air conditioner from failing prematurely.

• Allow 51 cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
• Do Not operate the air conditioner without air filter in place.
• Do not spill liquid on the control panel; it may cause an electrical short to the interior electronic parts that would either disable them or cause them to function improperly.
• When turning on the air conditioner for the first time after plugging it into an electrical outlet, the unit will start in Cooling mode set at 22°C, and at low fan speed. The control panel will display the current room temperature.
• When turning on the unit after previous use, it will remember the last settings used.
• After a normal shut down, please wait for 3 minutes before restarting the unit.
• In Cooling mode, this unit should not require water to be removed. This model has a unique design that continuously evaporates the water.
• When the unit is operated in high humidity conditions,you may need to empty the water tank periodically.
• The unit will shut down automatically when the water tank is full. The Water Full indicator illuminates to alert you of this condition.

DRAINAGE INSTRUCTION

It also has two drainage methods that can be used- manual drainage and continuous drainage.

MANUAL DRAIN

This unit is designed with a highly efficient self-evaporative system and it is suggested to use manual drainage in cooling mode. Condensate will recycle in the unit to cool the condenser and enhance cooling performance. However in extreme humidity, the water tank in the chassis will fill up and “FL” will show on the LED display. When this happens the water tank needs to be drained manuallv from lower drain port.

1. Put a water wedge below the upper drain port at the back of the unit.
2. Screw off the drain port cover and then connect drain-hole 12mm external diameter PVC drain hose to allow water flow into the water wedge.
3. After water has stopped flowing, plug in the water stopper back in and screw the drain port cover back onto the drain port tightly.

CONTINUOUS DRAIN

We strongly recommend to use this method, and drain from the lower drain port if the unit is being used in heating mode,because self-evaporative cooling system does not work in heating mode.

1. Screw off the drain port cover.and remove the water
2. Connect drain-hole with 12mm internal diameter PVC drain hose, inserted as deep as possible to avoid leakages.
3. Pull the end of the drain hose to a drain outlet within the home, or to the outside of the home.

NOTE:

• The drain hose must be installed before unit starts working.
• The drain hose should be routed so that it cannot be accidentally accessed during normal use. It should also be laid as straight as possible, with no sharp bends that would restrict water flow. The entire drain hose should also be kept at a level below that of the drain port.

WARNING

Choke Hazard
Keep the drain cover and the water stopper stored safely, out of the sight and reach of infants and children,when continuous drainage has been adopted.
