Automatic Defrost
At low room temperature, frost may build up at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting and the power indicator will blink. The defrost control sequence is as follows:

• When the unit operates in cooling or drying mode, and the ambient temperature sensor detects the evaporator coil temperature is below 30°F, the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or with the coil temperature raised to 44°F. After that, the unit will restart the cool mode operation.
• When the unit operates in dry mode, once the coil temperature sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is below 104°F and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is below 66°F after the compressor operation for 20 minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator blinks.

Overload Protection
In the event of power loss, there is a 3-minute delay to protect the compressor before it restarts.

Grounding

• This product must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For additional safety, the power cord features an integrated circuit breaker. Test and reset the buttons provided on the plug.
• The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button. If it does not cause the circuit breaker to trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the unit immediately and contact your service technician.

WARNING

• Improper connection can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
