Overload Protection
Automatic Defrost
When operating at low room temperatures, frost may build up on
the evaporator. If this happens, the Power LED will begin blinking
and the unit will automatically stop for a short time to carry out its
automatic defrosting procedure.
In the event of sudden power loss, to protect the compressor there
is an automatic 3-minute delay until the compressor will restart.
Drainage
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the
condenser coils, maximising performance and efficiency. There is no need
to empty the drainage tank for this cooling operation except when using
the dehumidifier mode or in high humidity conditions as typically the
condensate water evaporates into the exhaust outlet. If used for extended
periods of time, condensate may build up on the coils and excess water
will drain into the tank. Should the tank become full, follow the steps
below to drain.
For continuous or unattended operation, or operating in dehumidifier
mode, please connect the attached drain hose to the drain outlet.
Condensate water can be sent straight down a drain or collected in a
suitable bucket.
• Switch off the unit.
• For continuous drain: Remove the plug from the drain outlet.
When drainage tank full: Remove the plug from the drain outlet.
• Securely and properly connect the drain hose and make sure it is not
kinked and is clear of obstruction.
• Place the end of the hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water
can freely flow out of the unit.
• Do not submerge the end of hose into water; otherwise it can cause an
air lock in the hose.
To avoid water spillage:
• Negative pressure may cause some water to remain. To avoid this,
ensure the drainage hose is at an angle steeper than 20.
• Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.
