- Window Sealing Plate Components: The window sealing plate assembly is mounted to the window (horizontally or vertically) and adjusted to fit the window frame. The flat end of the exhaust pipe joint must be snapped into place, ensuring the pipe is not distorted or turned more than 45° to maintain unblocked ventilation.
- Exhaust Hose: The exhaust hose length is critical (280mm-1500mm); using extension tubes or different hoses may cause malfunction and overheating.
Drainage Instructions:
The unit supports two drainage modes:
- Manual Drainage:
- When the water tank is full (indicated by the flashing Water Full Indicator), turn off and unplug the machine.
- Place a water container below the side water outlet behind the body.
- Unscrew the drainage cover and unplug the water plug to allow water to flow into the container.
- Carefully move the machine to avoid spilling water. Keep the drainage cover and water plug together.
- If the container is insufficient, re-plug the drainage hole temporarily.
- After draining, re-plug the hole and tighten the drainage cover.
- Continuous Drainage (Optional):
- Applicable only in dehumidifying mode.
- Unscrew the drainage cover and unplug the water plug.
- Insert a drainage pipe into the water outlet and connect it to a bucket for continuous water collection.
Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and longevity. Always turn off and unplug the machine before maintenance.
- Cleaning the Surface: Wipe the machine's surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using chemicals, as they can damage the unit.
- Cleaning the Filter Screen: To prevent dust clogging and reduced effectiveness, clean the filter screen at least once every two weeks.
