Tips for First-Time Use
1. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 3-4 hours before powering on. Shipping carriers may set the unit on
its side, which causes the refrigerant to pool in certain areas. Standing the unit upright for 3-4 hours allows
the refrigerant to move freely within the coils.
2. Some parts with sharp edges may cause injury, so gloves are highly recommended for unpacking and
installing.
3. Run the unit continuously for 24 hours after letting the unit stand upright for 3-4 hours. This allows the unit
to work out any “kinks” that may have resulted during shipping from our factory to your doorstep.
4. If you have any difficulties during installation, please contact Customer Support Team via
[e-mail] for help.
5. If you have any problems with your product, please send us an email before submitting a return request, as
there might be a simple solution for your issue.
Please read this operating manual carefully before operating the unit.
This unit uses a flammable refrigerant.
Before using the appliance, read the owner's manual first.
Before installing the appliance, read the installation manual first.
Before repairing the appliance, read the service manual first.
The figures in this manual may be different from the material
objects, please refer to the material objects for reference.
Refrigerant Disclaimer
The refrigerant in this machine is fluoride R32, which is specially cleaned. The refrigerant is flammable
and does not have any odor. Furthermore, it can lead to explosions under certain conditions. The
flammability of the refrigerant is very low and can be ignited only by fire. Under normal operating
conditions, these issues should not be of any major concern.
Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a nonpolluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere.
The effect on greenhouse effect is also lower than other common refrigerants. R32 has very good
thermodynamic features which lead to high energy efficiency. The units, therefore, need less refrigerant
filling than other common refrigerants.
1. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of any debris or
obstructions.
2. Do not attempt to accelerate the defrosting process or clean the unit in any way other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. Should repair be necessary, contact TURBRO Customer Service Team.
3. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
4. Do not pierce or burn this appliance.
5. The appliance shall be installed, operated, and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 43ft²(4m²).
6. This appliance is filled with flammable gas R32. For repairs, strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions
only. Be aware that this refrigerant does not contain odor.
7. Read the user manual completely before using this appliance.

Water Drainage Methods
TURBRO portable air conditioner comes with an auto-evaporation system. The unit can automatically
evaporate the condensated water. There is no need to empty the water except in humid conditions.
When you run the dry mode, then it’s required to install the hose as the unit might pull more water
from the air.
When the water tank is full of water, the unit stops running and will show “ ”. The compressor and fan
won't restart until the water tank has been drained.
There are 2 ways to remove collected water from the air conditioner.
Method A: Manual Drainage
a. Unplug the unit from power source.
b. Place a receptacle pan (does not include) under the lower drain port.
c. Remove the cap from the lower drain port and allow the water to flow into the pan. Your pan may not hold
the full contents of the water tank. A number of fills of your pans may be required.
Self-Diagnosis
The unit has a self-diagnosis system to identify a number of malfunctions. Error messages will be displayed
on the display screen and beep 10 sounds. Press any button to stop the beep sounds.
IF IS DISPLAYED WHAT SHOULD I DO?WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
E0 Communication faults between
main PCB and display PCB.
If this is displayed,
contact TURBRO service team.
E1, E2 Sensor damaged. If this is displayed,
contact TURBRO service team.
The safety tank is full. Empty the internal safety tank, following the
instructions in the “Water Drainage Methods”.

d. Tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more water drains from the outlet.
e. After the water is drained, firmly replace the cap on the lower drain.
f. Restart the air conditioner by pressing the power button. Ensure that the unit is in COOL or DRY mode. The
compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is turned on.
Method B: Continuous Draining
a. Unplug the unit from power source.
b. Remove the cap from the lower or middle drain port. During this step, some residual water may split so
place a receptacle pan (not included) under the drain port to collect water.
c. Insert the drain hose into the drain port. The water can be continuously drained through the hose to the
floor or a bucket.
NOTE: Please be sure that the height of the section of the drain hose should not higher than the drain outlet,
or the water tank may not be drained.

Tips for Correct Use
Follow these tips to get the best performance of your appliance:
●Close the windows and doors in the room to be cooling. When installing the appliance semi-permanently,
you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 0.4 inches / 1 cm) to guarantee correct ventilation.
●Close the windows and doors in the room to be cooled. Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun
by partially closing the curtains and blinds to make the appliance run more efficiently.
●Never set or rest objects of any kind on the appliance.
●Do not block the air inlet or outlet of the appliance. Reduced airflow will result in poor performance and
