substance, active carbon fabric, electrostatic
fabric, electrostatic active carbon net and other
materials, this air conditioner purifies the air

a high purifying speed capable of strong airflow.
12. How The Unit Drains
On humid days with the air conditioner in use,
moisture may collect on the pan or the bottom
of the air conditioner. If the unit is positioned
properly, the moisture will gather towards the
back of the unit.This will not affect the operation
of the unit and the moisture will evaporate in
time. Occasionaly the moisture will flow over
the back of the pan, but this will not affect the
operation of the unit. Never drill holes in the
pan under any circumstance.
