Usage Features:
Installation:
Before initial use, the portable air conditioner must be kept upright for at least 2 hours. When moving the appliance, it should always be kept upright on a horizontal and dry surface.
- Exhaust Pipe Assembly: Screw the exhaust pipe assembly into the exhaust port on the rear panel. The exhaust pipe length is adjustable between 280 ~ 1500 mm. It is crucial not to distort the pipe or subject it to a turning angle greater than 45° to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating. Using extension tubes or different hoses is not recommended as it may cause malfunction.
- Window Sealing Plate Assembly: Half-open the window and mount the window sealing plate assembly horizontally or vertically. Components of the assembly can be adjusted to fit the window frame.
- Placement: Place the main body with the installed exhaust pipe assembly before the window, ensuring a minimum distance of 50 cm from walls or other objects to allow adequate air circulation.
Control Panel and Remote Control:
The appliance can be operated via an LED Control Panel on the unit or a Remote Control.
- TIMER: Sets the timer for appliance operation (1-24 hours). Press once to exit when ON, or to input when OFF.
- FAN: Toggles between COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, and FAN modes.
- UP/DOWN: Adjusts temperature or timer settings upwards/downwards.
- MODE: In FAN or COOL Mode, toggles between HIGH, MIDDLE, or LOW wind speed. In DEHUMIDIFY Mode, wind speed is fixed at LOW.
- POWER: Turns the appliance ON and OFF.
- SLEEP (via simultaneous FAN and UP press on LED panel or SLEEP button on remote): Activates energy-saving operation in COOL mode only. Not available in DEHUMIDIFY or FAN modes.
- FULL (indicator): Lights up and buzzer sounds when the internal water pan is full.
- DISPLAY: Shows current settings (temperature, timer, mode).
- POWER: Turns the appliance ON and OFF.
- TIMER: Sets the timer.
- SWING: Swings the louvre (air outlet).
- SLEEP: Activates energy-saving operation in COOL mode.
- DOWN/UP: Adjusts temperature or timer settings.
- MODE: Toggles between modes and wind speeds.
- FAN: Toggles between modes.
Operating Modes:
- COOL Mode: Provides cooling. Temperature and fan speed can be adjusted.
- DEHUMIDIFY Mode: Removes moisture from the air. Wind speed is fixed at LOW in this mode.
- FAN Mode: Circulates air without cooling. Fan speed can be adjusted.
Safety Functions:
- Frost Protection Function: Automatically enters protection status if the exhaust pipe temperature is too low in COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, or SLEEP modes, reverting to normal operation when the temperature rises.
- Automatic Defrosting: The appliance has an automatic defrosting function.
- Compressor Protection Function: Features a 3-minute delay booting protection after the compressor is turned off to extend its service life.
- Overflow Protection Function: Sounds an alarm and flashes the "FULL" indicator light when the water pan exceeds the warning level, stopping operation. The appliance resumes normal operation after the water is emptied.
Drainage:
- Manual Drainage:
- Turn off the wall switch and unplug the power cable.
- Move the drainage pipe to a toilet or drainage area.
- Unscrew the drainage plug from the drainage hole. Water will flow out. The appliance can be tilted slightly backward to facilitate drainage.
- Securely re-attach the drainage plug and restart the appliance immediately to prevent condensate water from flowing onto the floor.
- Continuous Drainage (optional, DEHUMIDIFY mode only):
- Turn off the wall switch and unplug the power cable.
- Unplug the rubber stopper from the continuous drainage hole.
- Insert a water pipe into the water outlet and direct the other end into a bucket for continuous water flow.
Maintenance Features:
Cleaning:
- Surface Cleaning: Clean the appliance surface with a wet soft cloth. Avoid using chemicals like benzene, alcohol, or gasoline, as they can damage the surface.
- Filter Screen Cleaning: Clean the filter screen every two weeks, or when it is clogged with dust and the appliance's effectiveness is reduced.
- Upper Filter Screen Frame Cleaning:
- Clasp the wedging block of the EVA filter screen frame and force it down from the outside to remove it.
- Unscrew four screws fixing the EVA filter screen and the Rear Housing to remove the EVA filter screen.
- Wash the EVA filter screen in warm water with neutral detergent (around 40°C/104°F) and dry it in the shade after rinsing.
Storage Instructions (after Manual Drainage):
- Repeat manual drainage steps, then restart the appliance in COOL mode with LOW Wind Speed until the drainage pipe is dry before switching off.
- Turn off the wall switch and unplug the power cable. Wrap the power cable around the wrapping post.
- Remove the exhaust pipe. Cover the appliance and the exhaust pipe in separate plastic bags and store them in a dry place, out of reach of children, with dust control measures.
- Remove the battery from the remote control.
