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

DRAINAGE

Self-evaporating system:
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the condenser coils for better efficient performance. It is no need to empty the drainage tank in cooling operation except in heating operation, drying operation, and under high humidity conditions. The condensate water evaporates at the condenser and is evacuated through the exhaust hose. For continuous operation or unattended operating in drying and heating operations, please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensate water can automatically flow into a bucket or drain by gravity.

• 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 and 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 could freely flow out of the unit.

• Do not submerge the end of the hose into the water; otherwise, it can cause “Air Lock” in the hose.
  To avoid water spillage:

• As the negative pressure of the condensate drain pan is large, tilt the drain hose down toward the floor. It is appropriate that the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees.

• Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

Note: Clean air filters 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 suck 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 airflow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.

Warning:
Do not touch the evaporator surface with a bare hand, or could cause injury to your fingers.

CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT

General Measures:

1. Gas/vapor is heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate, and ventilate areas.
5. Do not get in the eyes, on the skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of water spray to disperse vapors.
8. Isolate the area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate and gas test area before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
