4.2 Choose your location
4.3 ATTACH THE EXHAUST HOSE
The air conditioner requires being vented outside so that the exhaust
air which comes from the appliance and contains waste heat and
moisture can escape the room.
Do not replace or extend exhaust hose which will result in decreased
efficiency, even worse shut down the unit due to low back-pressure.
● 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 20 inch 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 products that produce heat.
★ Direct sunlight
★ Mechanical vibration or shock
★ Excessive dust
★ Lack of ventilation, such as cabinet or bookcase
★ Uneven surface
r=20 inch
Step 1:
Connect the hose connector to one
end of the exhaust hose.
Step 2:
Connect the window kit
adapter to the other end
of the exhaust hose.
Step 3:
Extend the adjustable window
kit to the length of the
window. Connect the exhaust
hose to the window kit.
Step 4:
Close the 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.

5.4 DRAINAGE
Manual drainage:
1) When the machine stops after the water is full, please unplug the
power plug.
Notes: Please move the machine carefully, so as not to spill the water
in the water pan at the bottom of the body.
2) Place the water container below the side water outlet behind the
body.
3) Unplug the water plug, the water will automatically flow into the
water container.
5.3.4 Automatic Defrost
At low room temperatures, frost may build up at the evaporator
during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting, the
POWER LED indicator blinking. The defrost control sequence is as
follows:
A. When the unit operates in the cool or dry mode, the ambient
temperature sensor detects the evaporator coil temperature is below
30.2℉, then the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or the
coil temperature reaches 44.6℉, the unit will restart to cooling
operation mode.
B. When the unit operates in dry mode, once the coil temperature
sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is below 104℉and
the differential temperature between coil temperature and room
temperature is below 66.2℉after the compressor runs for 20
minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power
indicator blinking.
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 restarts.
C. Drying your room
Press MODE button on the control panel or remote control, the
dry indicator lights up. The fan speed is unable to select. User should
connect the hose to the drain outlet at the bottom of the unit.
Note: In this mode, the fan speed switches over to low speed and
cannot be selected.
D. Sleep mode
The sleep mode can be activated when in cool mode.
(Note: Sleep mode can only be turned on by remote control.)
■In cool mode :
After 1 hour the preset temperature will increase by 33.8℉, and after
another hour the preset temperature will again increase by 33.8℉.
The timer has two ways of operation:
To turn off
(When power
on)
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 button will also exit the
timer setting.
5.3.3 TIMER SETTING (1hour-24hours) :
14 15

Notes:
1. Keep the water plug properly.
2. During drainage, the body can be tilted
slightly backwards.
3. If the water container cannot hold all the
water, before the water container is full,
stuff the water outlet with the water plug as
soon as possible to prevent water from
flowing to the floor or the carpet.
4. When the water is discharged, stuff the
water plug.
Notes: Restart the machine after the water
plug and drainage cover are installed,
otherwise condensate water of the machine
will flow to the floor or the carpet.
Continuous drainage
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.
● Switch off the unit before
operating.
● Remove the plug of the water
outlet opening, and keep it in a
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.

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.
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.
6.2 CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT
General Measures:
1. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate 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 the area.
5. Do not get into 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 conduct a
gas test in the area before entering. Contact competent authorities
after a spill.
Switch off the unit and
remove the air filter.
Rinse the air filter under
running water.
Warning!!!
Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or your fingers
may be injured.

8. DECOMMISSIONING
8.1 STORAGE
Long-Term Storage - If you will not use the unit for an extended
period of time (more than a few weeks) it is best to clean the unit
and dry it out completely. Please store the unit according to the
following steps:
1. Unplug the unit and remove exhaust hose and window kit for
storage with the unit.
2. Drain the remaining water from the unit.
3. Clean the filter and let the filter dry completely in a shaded area.
4. Re-install the filter in place.
5. The unit must be kept in upright position when in storage.
6. Preserve the machine in ventilated, dry, non-corrosive gas and safe
place indoor.
8.2 DISPOSAL
Releasing refrigerant into atmosphere is strictly
forbidden!
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted
municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information
regarding the collection systems available. If
electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or
dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being.
ATTENTION:
The evaporator inside the machine has to be dried out before the unit
is packed to avoid component damage and molds. Unplug the unit
and place it in a dry open area for days to dry it out. Another way to
dry the unit is turn on the machine, adjust it to low-wind ventilation
mode, and maintain this state until the drainage pipe becomes dry, so
as to keep the inside of the body in a dry state and prevent it from
mildewing.
