Drainage
Specifications
During the process of cooling, 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 inVERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit.
If the InternalWater Container is full, the backlight on the LCD display will flash, the unit will shut off, and
it must be drained before it will re-start.

the set temperature. Once the ambient temperature has reached the set temperature, the compressor will stop and
unit will run in Fan mode. To conserve energy, the compressor will not start immediately after a couple degrees
increase or decrease, but will wait for a 5ºF allowance. For example:

Important!
The indicator of high or low fan will light up at the same time.
• Leave the unit in an upright position for at least 2 hours before use.
• Always place the unit on an even surface.
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the
fan speed switch is invalid.
• The power cord has a built-in L.C.D.I. (Leakage, Current, Detection, Interruption) circuit
breaker for added safety. If the power supply is interrupted, please press the reset
button to reconnect the unit to the power source. The green light should be on.
Setting theTimer
Press theTIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 12 hours, the timer
indicator will light up). When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off
automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press theTIMER button.
If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.

For proper operation, the unit must be vented to the outside.
• Do not cover or obstruct the appliance inlet or outlet grilles.
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you can PRE-SET the time for
the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to ‘2’,
the unit will come on automatically after 2 hours.

electrician replace the outlet with a suitable one. Avoid the use of adaptor plugs, multiple
sockets and/or extension cords; if their use is necessary, ensure that they conform to the
current safety regulations.
Move the air vent directly to adjust the
airflow direction from the horizontal louvres.
Turn the roller on the air vent to control
the airflow direction from the vertical louvres.
IMPORTANT!
The compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is turned on (this will
help prolong the life of the compressor). After switching the unit off, please wait at least
3 minutes before turning the unit back on.
• Do not pull the power cord or place it near a source of heat; always unroll it completely
to avoid the possibility of dangerous overheating.
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan, however, keeps
working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen temperature +/ 5 F,
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person.
the cooling will resume.
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than the one set
(the fan keeps working at the set level). When the room temperature drops 5 F below the chosen
temperature, heating will resume.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IFTHE ABOVE
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. Sometimes, while using the heating function
during low temperatures, the heating will stop for a while to melt the internal frost. When this occurs,
wait for heating to resume.
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds prior to the unit starting.
