WATER DRAINAGE
The air conditioner has an internal water tank to collect water that condenses during
the cooling process. This tank will need to be emptied periodically.
When the internal water tank is full, the WATER FULL indicator will flash on the screen
and a buzzer will sound.
The air conditioner will go into standby mode, the compressor will stop and all the key
functions will be disabled.
The water tank will need to be emptied before normal operation can be resumed:
• Unplug the air conditioner from the mains supply.
• Under the drainage plug on the rear of the unit, place a shallow container to collect
the water. Use this only for temporary drainage of the unit. Do not allow the water
to drop continuously into the container, as it will overflow.
• Remove the plug cap and the drainage plug to empty the tank.
• When the tank is empty, refit the drainage plug and cap.
• Reconnect the air conditioner to the mains supply and press the POWER button,
on either the front panel or remote control. The air conditioner will restart and
operate normally.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: In order to avoid an electric shock, power-off the air conditioner and
disconnect the mains plug before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning
• Unplug from the mains supply before cleaning.
• Do not splash water into the air conditioner.
• Clean the outside of the air conditioner with a damp cloth, then dry it thoroughly
before using.
• Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the air
conditioner.
Filters
• Clean the filters every two weeks. If the filters become blocked with dust, the
efficiency of the air conditioner will be reduced.
• Remove the air filters on the rear of the unit.
• Run a vacuum cleaner lightly over the surface of the filters to remove any dust. If
the filters are exceptionally dirty, wash them in warm water and a mild detergent
and allow to dry thoroughly before refitting.
Note: Do not operate the air conditioner without filters.
Seasonal Cleaning
If the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time, follow the below steps:
• Unplug the air conditioner from the mains.
• Remove the drainage plug and empty the internal water tank.
• Plug the air conditioner into the mains and turn the power on. Select ‘fan’ mode
and run for two hours to allow the air conditioner to dry out.
• Turn off and unplug from the mains.
• Clean and dry the filters and reinstall them.
• Put the air conditioner back in the original carton and store in a dry, cool place.
