4.3 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 exhaust hose which will result in decreased

efficiency, even worse shut down the unit due to low backpressure.

● If tipped more than 45°, allow the unit to

set upright for at least 24 hours before start

up.

● Place the unit on a firm, level surface in an

area with at least 50cm (20’’) of free space

around it to allow for proper air circulation.

● Do not operate in close proximity to walls,

curtains, or other objects that may block air

inlet and outlet. Keep the air inlet and

outlet free of obstacles.

● Never install the unit where it could be

subject to:

★ Heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other

products that produce heat.

★ Direct sunlight

★ Mechanical vibration or shock

★ Excessive dust

★ Lack of ventilation, such as cabinet or bookcase

★ Uneven surface

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:

Extend the adjustable window

kit to the length of your

window. Connect the exhaust

hose to the window kit.

Step 4:

Close your 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.

5.4 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 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.

5.3.4 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 blinking. The defrost control sequence is as follows:

A. When the unit operates in the cooling operation, drying operation,

the ambient temperature sensor senses the evaporator coil

temperature is below 30.2℉(-1℃), after the compressor will stop

operating for 10 minutes or the coil temperature up to 44.6℉(7℃),

the unit restart to cool operating mode.

5.3.5 Overload Protection

In the event of a power loss, to protect the compressor there is a

3-minute delay until the compressor restarting.

The timer has two ways of operation:

To turn off

(When power

on)

D. Sleep mode (this function can only be used with a remote

control)

The sleep mode can be activated when in cool mode.

After 1 hour the preset temperature is increased by 33.8℉(1℃), after

another hour the preset temperature will again be increased by

33.8℉(1℃).

Press Timer key

to turn on the

timer function.

Press Up /Down

repeatedly to set

the delay OFF time.

To turn on

(When power

off)

Press Timer key

to turn on the

timer function.

Press Up /Down

repeatedly to set

the delay OFF time.

Cancel timer

Press Up/Down repeatedly until the LED

shows ‘00’.

Note: Pressing POWER will also exit the timer

setting.

5.3.3 TIMER SETTING (1hour-24hours) :

14 15

● Switch off the unit before

operating.

● Remove the plug of the water

outlet opening, and keep it in 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.

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.

6. CLEANING AND CARE

6.1 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.

Pic 1. Switch off the unit and

remove the two air filters.

Pic 2. Rinse the air filter under

running water.

Warning!!!

Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare hands, or it could

cause injury of your fingers.

Remove the rubber

sealing plug.

6.2 CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT

General Measures:

1. Gas/vapor heavier than air. It may be accumulated 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 area.

5. Do not get in 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 gas test

area before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
