• Use only the hose provided and clip
exhaust hose and unit adaptor to the back
of the air condioner
• Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust hose
as this will cause expelled moist air to
build up causing the unit to overheat
and shut down.
• The hose may be extended from 300mm
to 1500mm but for maximum efficiency
use the shortest length possible.
WARNING!
The length of the exhaust pipe is
specially designed according to the
specificaon of this product. Do not
replace or prolong it with your own
private hose as this could cause the
unit to mal-funcon.

• Installaon of the carbon filter
This machine is equipped with the acve carbon filter. The acvated carbon is charcoal
that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of ny pores between the carbon
atoms. It is used to get rid of unwanted odors (smoke, fumes, and animal odor).
Please note, the carbon filter is not washable, its life span is variable and depends on the
ambient condions where the unit is used. The filter should be checked periodically and
replaced if necessary (normally, it’s 6 months), below is the installaon of the acve carbon
filter along with this unit:
1.
Separate the filter frame the unit.
2.
Take out the carbon filter from its
bag.
3.
Apply the carbon filter on the unit.
4.
Fix back the filter frame on the unit.

EFFICIENCY BOOSTING
This unit is equipped with “energy efficiency boosng” funcon, by adding water (3L max.) to
the water gate at the side of the unit, the energy efficiency can be elevated. The principle is:
while the machine is working, the condenser will be geng hot, if you add the water into the
unit aer the unit has been worked for more than one hour, the water will cool down the c
ondenser, thus it consumes less power, i.e. saving energy.
**
NOTE
1. This efficiency feature by adding water is proposed to do aer one hour operaon and the
water should NOT be over 3L, otherwise, the “water full” indicator will light in red and the
unit will stop working.
2. In case the “water full” indicator is in red, please drain the water from the drain point at the
back side of the unit unl the red light goes out. The unit should work again now.
IMPORTANT !
1. To prolong the compressor's life, aer switch-off of the unit, please wait for 3 minutes (at least)
before re-switch.
2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower than the set one. The
venlaon, however, keeps working on the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above
the selected level, the cooling will return to work.
3. This machine is equipped with ANTI-FROST funcon. While using the heang funcon during
low temperature, somemes the heang will stop for a while in order to melt the frost. As this
occurs, just wait for the heang returns to work.
1. Take out the water
bole from the side
of the unit.
3. Place the water
gate into space.
2. Fill the water
(max. 3L).

Drainage
When the unit is operang in Cooling or
Dehumidify ( DRY) mode, humidity extracted
from the air is collected in an internal tank.
If the tank reaches full, the compressor and
motor cut out automacally. At the same
me, the “Water Full” indicator comes on.
An alarm will also sound. When the tank is
full, carry out the following instrucons:
1. Turn off the air condioner and avoid moving it when full.
2. Posion a container (a water tray for example) underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole and allow the water to drain out.
4. When the container is almost full, replace the rubber plug in the drain hole and empty the
water tray.
5. Repeat unl the unit is emped.
6. Replace the rubber plug and ghten the drain knob firmly.
7. Switch on the unit - the full water or compressor operang indicator should not be flashing.
