AUTOMATIC DEFROST

• At low room temperatures, frost may build up at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting and the POWER LED will blink.

The de-frost control sequence is as follows:

• A. When the unit operates in the cooling and drying operation, and the ambient temperature sensor senses the evaporator coil temperature is below -1°C after the compressor stops operating for 10 minutes or the coil temperature up to 7°C, the unit restarts to cool operating mode.
• B. When the unit operates in the drying operation, once the coil temperature sensor senses the temperature of the evaporator is below 40°C and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is below 19°C after the compressor operation for 20 minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator blinking.

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 MANUAL DRAINAGE

1. When the machine stops after the water is full, please unplug the power plug.
   • Notes: Please move the machine carefully, so as not to spill the water in the water pan at the bottom of the body.
2. Place the water container below the side water outlet behind the body.
3. Unplug the water plug, the water will automatically flow into the water container.

Notes:

1. Keep the water plug properly.
2. During drainage, the body can be tilted slightly backward.
3. If the water container cannot hold all the water before the water container is full, stuff the water outlet with the water plug as soon as possible to prevent water from flowing to the floor or the carpet.
4. When the water is discharged, stuff the water plug.

• Notes: Restart the machine after the water plug and drainage cover are installed, otherwise condensate water of the machine will flow to the floor or the carpet.

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 the 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 into 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 air flow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.
