INSTALLATION
SELECTING THE LOCATION
Place the unit in a flat location where the air
outlets are not obstructed. Place the unit at
least 20” (50cm) away from a wall or other
obstacle.
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
Slide the square end of the exhaust duct over
the hot air outlet on the back of the unit.
The exhaust hose should be kept as short and
straight as possible. Prevent any sharp bends in
the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust
air.
The hot exhaust air can be vented through the
wall or out a window. If mounting in the wall, the
height of the hole should be 16 to 50 inches
(40cm to 130cm).

WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION
The window kit is designed to fit into most
standard vertical and horizontal windows, as well
as some sliding glass doors. However, it may be
necessary to modify some aspects of the
installation process for certain window types.
1. Open the window or sliding door and adjust
the length of the window kit to fit the
opening. If the window kit is not long
enough, connect the extra window kit panel
to fit the opening. Mark and cut down a
single panel of the window kit if necessary.
2. Place the window kit between the window
and the window frame as shown in the
images to the right. Close the window onto
the window kit to form a tight seal.
3. Attach the exhaust duct adapter to the
window kit. Tabs located on the adapter will
lock into place securing the adapter to the
window kit.

WATER DRAINAGE
When used in high humidity areas (over 60% humidity) , continuous operation may be interrupted
due to excessive dehumidification producing excessive water, This unit has a special built in
facility to avoid the unit stopping operation. The unique design of this unit allows you to connect
a water drain pipe to the upper water release port for extra convenience and ease of use. This will
allow the machine to drain the water automatically.
When this feature is desired ,connect the 3 metre water pipe to the automatic water releasing port.
The water pipe will drain water out a window or suitable drainage area or exit point. Please ensure
the water drain hose is no higher than 1.5 meters from base of unit. Ensure the drain pipe is not
bent or twisted. IF THIS FEATURE IS NOT REQUIRED (due to lower humidity) please ensure the
plastic screw lid is tightly secured to upper drainage port,
NOTE If the water release port and water release pump are NOT used during periods of high humidity,
water will collect in a water container at the bottom of the unit. When the water container is full, the
compressor will stop but the fan will continue to run.
When the water container is full, the unit will display ‘ ’ on the control panel until the tank is emptied.
To resume operation, empty the water container according to the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off. Do not move the unit when the water container is full.
2. Place the drain pan accessory under the drainage port at the back of the unit.
3. Remove the rubber plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically.
When the drain pan is full, replace the rubber plug into the drainage hole to stop the water flow.
Empty the drain pan. Repeat until all the water is emptied.
4. Once the water container has been emptied, replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. Do not
allow the water to drip continuously into the drain pan, as it might easily overflow.
