II- OPERATING SAFETY OF THE AIR CONDITIONER
1. Freeze protection:
In cooling, dehumidifying mode, if the exhaust pipe temperature is too low,
the air conditioner will automatically enter protection; if the temperature of
the exhaust pipe reaches a certain temperature,
the original programmed operating state of the air conditioner will be restored.
2. Water tank full alarm:
When the water in the water pan exceeds the warning level, the air conditioner will
automatically alarm, and the temperature display area of the display panel will
show "FL". At this point, you need to move the drain pipe connecting the air
conditioner or the water outlet to the sewer or another drainage area to drain the
water. (Refer to the instructions in chapter 5.Drainage below).
After draining the water, the air conditioner will automatically return to its original state.
3. Automatic defrost
The air conditioner has an automatic defrosting function: during defrosting, the
heating symbol on the display screen flashes.
4. Automatic thermal protection
To protect the service life of the machine, the air conditioner has heating
mode protection. During the protection period, the compressor and the
lower motor will stop working and automatically return to the normal
heating state after the air conditioner temperature recovers.
5. Compressor protection
After the compressor stops, the protection is triggered and the air conditioner will
restart 3 minutes later
13

5. DRAINAGE
I. Manual drain
When the inner pan is filled with water, the panel
display screen will show “FL” signal and the compressor
will stop working automatically.
Turn off the air conditioner and turn off the power to
drain.
Note: Please move the air conditioner carefully so as not
to spill water from the pan into the air conditioner body.
Place a water tank/bucket under the side water outlet
behind the air conditioner body.
Unscrew the cap and remove the drain plug, the water
will automatically flow into the water tank.
Note: During drainage, the air conditioner may be tilted slightly backwards Once the water has
been evacuated, BE CAREFUL to reposition the drain plug and its cap before restarting the air
conditioner, otherwise the condensation water from the air conditioner will will flow to the
ground
II.Continuous draining
(only applicable to cooling and dehumidifying
mode)
Unscrew the cap and remove the rubber drain plug
Insert the drain hose into the water outlet Place
the other end of the drain hose into a tank/
bucket.
Note: During draining, the air conditioner may
be tilted slightly backwards
Once the water has drained, reattach the rubber stopper and
screw the cap back on.
