ATTACH THE EXHAUST HOSE

The air conditioner requires being vented outside so that the exhaust air which comes from the appliance and contains waste heat and moisture can escape the room.
Do not replace or extend exhaust hose which will result in decreased
efficiency, 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 window kit adapter to the other end of the exhaust hose. Step 3: Extend the adjustable window kit to the length of the window. Connect the exhaust hose to the window kit.

Step 4: Close the window to secure the kit in place. It needs to hold the windows kit firmly in place, secure the window kit with duct
tape if required. It is recommended that the gap between the adapter and the sides of the window should be sealed off for maximum efficiency.

Step 5: Attach the hose connector to the exhaust air outlet of unit. Step 6: Adjust the length of the flexible exhaust hose, and avoid bends in the hose. Then place Air Conditioner near an electrical outlet.

(Note: Sleep mode can only be turned on by remote control.)

In cool mode : After 1 hour the preset temperature will increase by 33.8℉, and after another hour the preset temperature will again increase by 33.8℉.

TIMER SETTING (1hour-24hours) :
The timer has two ways of operation:

Automatic Defrost
At low room temperatures, frost may build up at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting, the POWER LED indicator blinking. The defrost control sequence is as follows:

• When the unit operates in the cool or dry mode, the ambient temperature sensor detects the evaporator coil temperature is below 30.2℉, then the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or the coil temperature reaches 44.6℉, the unit will restart to cooling operation mode.
• When the unit operates in dry mode, once the coil temperature sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is below 104℉ and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is below 66.2℉ after the compressor runs for 20 minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator blinking.

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

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 backwards.
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.

Continuous drainage

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 drying operation and high humidity conditions. The condensate water evaporates at the condenser and evacuated through the exhaust hose.

For continuous operation or unattended operating in drying operation, please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensate water
can be 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 hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water could freely flow out of the unit.

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

To avoid water spillage:

• As the negative pressure of 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 a trap existing in the hose.

CLEANING AND CARE

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

Switch off the unit and remove the air filter.
Rinse the air filter under running water.

Warning!!! Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or your fingers may be injured.

CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT

General Measures:

1. Gas/vapor 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 the area.
5. Do not get into eyes, on 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 conduct a gas test in the area before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.

DECOMMISSIONING

STORAGE

Long-Term Storage – If you will not use the unit for an extended period of time (more than a few weeks) it is best to clean the unit and dry it out completely. Please store the unit according to the following steps:

1. Unplug the unit and remove exhaust hose and window kit for storage with the unit.
2. Drain the remaining water from the unit.
3. Clean the filter and let the filter dry completely in a shaded area.
4. Re-install the filter in place.
5. The unit must be kept in upright position when in storage.
6. Preserve the machine in ventilated, dry, non-corrosive gas and safe place indoor.

ATTENTION:
The evaporator inside the machine has to be dried out before the unit is packed to avoid component damage and molds. Unplug the unit
and place it in a dry open area for days to dry it out. Another way to dry the unit is turn on the machine, adjust it to low-wind ventilation mode, and maintain this state until the drainage pipe becomes dry, so as to keep the inside of the body in a dry state and prevent it from mildewing.

DISPOSAL

Releasing refrigerant into atmosphere is strictly forbidden!

WARNING!!!
