During the process of cooling or heating, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of
this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most
Portable Air Conditioners. If the unit is operated in VERYHUMID air, water will collect in the container
inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor and fan will stop. The COMP indicator will
blink to inform you to empty the
internal container. To make the cooling function work again, please
empty the water by one of the following methods:
By the Draining into a Container
Use a Shallow Container or Dish
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position a fiat container or dish under the drain hole.
Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container, as it
might easily overflow.
3. Remove the drain l_an.ob& rubber plug from the drain hole. The
condensed water will drain out automatically.
4. When the container is almos t full, replace the rubber plug into
the drain hole to stop the water. Empty the container.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4until all the condensed water is emptied.
6, Once all the condensed water has been removed, replace the
rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. The Fiall Water indicator
should be off now.
7. Replace the drain knob.
* Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the tray, as it
may easily overflow.
By Water Tube (Continuous Drainage)
1. Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and keep them for
future use.
2. Use Teflon tape to cover threading on spout, making aflat
surface for the hose. This will prevent leakage.
3. Connect asuitable water tube (of 3/4" internal diameter -
supplied) to the water hole. The condensed water will drain out
automatically.
4. If you want to extend the water tube you can connect it with
another tube (outside diameter 3A,).
Special Caution for Heating Function!
1. Install the exhaust pipe securely in order to exhaust
the cool air to the outside (please see page 6).
2. You can use the continuous drainage option as described above.
3. The warmer the outside air the more heat will be pumped into
the room. Working range for heat pump function is 41°F to 81°F.
When used in room temperatures outside this range theunit may
not function properly.
4. While using the heating ___nctionduring low temperatures,
sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the
internal frost. When this occurs, just wait for heating to resume.
This is normal for compressor operated devices.
