The ACW mini portable air conditioner is really a three-in-one comfort appliance.
• Personal space cooling
• Effective room dehumidifier
• Air cleaner that filters dust, pollen and odors
As a dehumidifier your ACW mini portable air conditioner will begin to protect your
home from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on.
Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells
spread to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be
positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it
from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your
dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the
dehumidifier there and later moving it to a more central point.
For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows
kept closed when the dehumidifier is operating. Please note the unit should not be
placed directly against a radiator or other heat source.
When positioning your ACW mini portable air conditioner, ensure that it is placed
securely on a level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement.
Your ACW Mini Portable Air Conditioner is fitted with 4 castors for easy movement,
and requires no ducting.
IMPORTANT:
Keep a minimal 8" safety distance between the appliance and a wall, a heating source,
and/or any inflammable surface.
Before you move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank.

press the BUTTON to select the level of cooling, the corresponding LED will lit:

Operation
6. Red Warning Light
When the water tank is full, the unit automatically stops, the WATER TANK FULL LED will turn
red to signal that the tank must be emptied.
www.sylvane.com 1-800-934-9194

When the water tank is full, the unit will switch off automatically and beep
15 times, the TANK FULL LED on the control panel will light up. The tank needs
to be emptied:
• Make sure unit is unplugged from power source
• Remove the water tank by pulling the clasp under the bottom.
• Empty the water tank.
• Push the water tank gently back in place. Plug the unit back into power
source. When done properly, the WATER FULL LED will turn off.
1. Do NOT remove the float sensor device from the water tank. If removed,
the water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level
correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.
2. If the water tank is dirty, wash it with cold or lukewarm water. Do not use
detergent, scouring pads, chemically treated dust cloths, as these can scratch
and damage the tank and cause water leakage.
3. When inserting the drainage tank, press the tank firmly into place with both
hands. If the tank is not positioned properly, the sensor will still be activate,
and dehumidification can not operate.

Always unplug the unit from the outlet before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning the unit.
Cleaning the Body
Use only a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean.
Do not use volatile chemicals, gas, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other
harmful cleansing solutions. These could all possibly damage the cabinet.
Cleaning the Washable Air Filter
This cooler is equipped with a washable filter. It will capture most airborne
pollutants like dust, smoke, animal dander, mold spores and pollen.
It is advisable to check the filter on a regular basis (at least monthly and after
storage) and clean as necessary:
• Extract the filter holder
• Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly
If the filter is very dirty, use luke-warm water with a small amount of medium
strength detergent and rinse thoroughly under the cold water tap.
Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing.
Do not expose the filter to sunlight or other sources of direct heat as this
may cause the filter and frame to warp.
Important:
The optional carbon filter may not be washed, replace when dirty
(every 3-6 months, depending on usage).
