ATTACH THE EXHAUST HOSE
The air conditioner requires being vented outside so that the exhaust air can escape the room which coming from the appliance contains waste heat and moisture.  Do not replace or extend the exhaust hose which will result in decreased efficiency or, even worse shut down the unit due to low back pressure.

• Step 1: Connect the hose connector to one end of the exhaust hose.
• Step 2: Connect the windows kit adapter to the other end of the exhaust hose.
• Step 3: Adjust the window brackets to the width or height of your window, and insert the plastic pins to fix the desired position.
  • Note: do not install the window bracket to the window. This step is only to adjust to the size of your window. The bracket should be removed after the size is adjusted.
• Step 4: Connect the window bracket to the window kit adapter. Ensure all connections are tight and installed properly.
• Step 5: Connect the window bracket to the window.
• Step 6: Adjust the length of the flexible exhaust hose and avoid bends in the hose. Then place AC near an electrical outlet.

• The machine enters sleep mode, all lights are dimmed at the same time, and the buzzer is disabled in sleep mode:
  • 1 hour after sleep mode is turned ON, the set temperature will automatically increase by 1°C, and after another hour, the set temperature will automatically increase by 1°C.
• After sleep mode has been ON for 2 hours, the set temperature will no longer increase.
• Fan output during sleep mode: the fan automatically turns to a low setting. The wind speed output is low wind and cannot be adjusted. After exiting sleep mode, the wind speed can again be set by the user.

TIMER SETTING (1HOUR-24HOURS)

The timer has two ways of operation:

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
In the event of a power loss, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarting.

DRAINAGE

SELF- EVAPORATING SYSTEM
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the condenser coils for better, more efficient performance. There is no need to empty the drainage tank in cooling mode, except in high humidity conditions. In drying mode, the drainage tank needs to be emptied. The condensed water evaporates at the condenser and disappears through the exhaust hose.

For continuous operation or unattended operation in drying mode, please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensed water can automatically run into a bucket or drain.

• Switch off the unit before operating.
• Remove the plug of the water outlet opening and keep it in a safe area.
• Securely and properly connect the drain hose. Make sure it is not kinked and clear of obstruction.
• Place the outlet of the hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water can freely flow out of the unit.
• Do not submerge the end of the hose in the water; otherwise, it can cause “an Air Lock” in the hose.

TO AVOID WATER SPILLAGE

• As the negative pressure of the condensate drain pan is large, tilt the drain hose downward toward the floor. It is appropriate that the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees.
• Straighten the hose to avoid trapping water in the hose.

DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (EVERY TWO WEEKS)

• Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
• The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.

1. Press the POWER button to switch off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum dust from the filter.
4. Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water run through the filter in the opposite direction of the airflow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.
