INSTALLATION

UNPACKING THE DEVICE
Carefully unpack the device from the shipping box and packaging. Keep the box and packaging to store the air conditioner in case of prolonged disuse.

INSTALLATION OF THE EXHAUST HOSE
Grasp both ends of the exhaust hose and gently pull the hose apart. Move counterclockwise to connect the open end of the exhaust hose to the exhaust nozzle.

EXHAUST HOSE CONNECTION
When connecting the hose, the air conditioner must be close enough to the window to avoid loosening the window sealant plate. After connecting the hose, move the air conditioner 20″ (51 cm) away from the wall.

Insert the suction hose from the left side to the device as shown in the picture below.

INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW EXHAUST

First, open the window and clean all surfaces on which the Velcro strip will be attached. Clean the frame and sash surfaces to ensure that they are free of dust and grease. Open the self-adhesive part of the Velcro strip and attach it to the window sash.
NOTE: Make sure the window can still be closed without damaging the Velcro on the frame or sash.
Attach the Velcro strap to the window sash (side A) from the outside or inside. On the side where the handle is.
NOTE! Make sure the window can still be closed without damaging the Velcro on the frame or window sash.
First, attach the wide part (side A) of the sealant (the zipper is closed) with the window open. Start in the middle and then attach left and right or up and down on the window frame.
Close the window and make sure that the window sealing kit is not tilted or pushed.
Fasten the narrow side B (zipper closed) from the center left and right or up and down on the wing.
Open the window slightly and use the zipper to pull the vent hose through the window sealing kit.
The Window Sealing Kit is now ready for use.

DRAINING WATER FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER

If the water tank inside the machine fills up, you will need a bowl to catch the water flowing out of the tank. Once the water tank is empty, the device will resume operation within a few minutes.

Manual discharge
The indicator light (WATER FULL) will illuminate when the water tank is full. Disconnect the device from the electricity.

Insert the container under the water outlet at the back of the device.
Unscrew the drain cover and remove the plug.
After draining the water, insert the plug and screw the cover firmly onto the water outlet.

NOTE:

Take care not to damage the plugs or water outlets in any way.
Handle the appliance very carefully to avoid water leakage.
When draining, tilt the unit slightly backward.
If the reservoir cannot hold all the water in the appliance, close the drain hole before the reservoir is full to prevent leakage and to avoid soaking the floor or carpet.
The water plug and drain cover must be firmly installed to prevent condensation from escaping when the unit starts working again.

Continuous water drainage

Unscrew the drain hole cover and remove the cap.
Connect a drain hose φ13 mm (not included) to the drain hole, fitting it so that no water leaks at the hose connection point.
Pull the drain hose to a suitable drain.

NOTE

The drain hose must be installed when there is no water in the inner vessel.
It is recommended not to use continuous draining when the unit is in cooling mode to ensure sufficient water recycling in the unit to increase the cooling effects of the system.
Place the drain hose in an inaccessible place, no higher than the drain hole, and keep the drain hose straight without any bending.

MAINTENANCE

Be sure to switch off the equipment and disconnect it from the mains before servicing.

Surface cleaning

Clean the surface of the instrument with a damp and soft cloth and do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol and gasoline to avoid damaging the instrument. It is forbidden to use any thinner, alcohol, polish or other similar solvents to clean the device.

Cleaning the filter

Clean the filter continuously, depending on the dustiness of the environment in which the device is working and the intensity of use. Dust contamination of the filter would affect the function of the instrument.
Grasp the filter handle and gently pull it in the right direction. If necessary, clean the dust particles in the filter. Submerge and gently wash the filter in warm water (approx. 40 °C) mixed with a neutral detergent and then dry.

WARNING

Handle the filter with care.
Remove the filter on the back panel first, then remove the filter on the side panel to avoid twisting or damaging it.
Do not squeeze the net or hit it with sharp objects or a brush.
Do not use the appliance without installing a filter.

Storage

When not in use, store the air conditioner properly.

Unscrew the drain cover and pull out the cap to completely drain the condensed water. Or tilt the unit to drain the water.
Allow the unit to run in fan mode for half a day to completely dry the inside of the unit to prevent mould.
Turn off the device, pull the plug, and then wrap the power cord around the cable winding post, insert the plug into the hole on the rear panel of the device, install the water cap and drain cover.
Remove the heat dissipation hose, clean it and store it properly.
