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 efciently. This is a
feature not found in most portable air conditioners.
If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the
container inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor
will stop, but the fan will continue to circulate the air. The warning
light will ash to inform you to empty the internal container. To make
the cooling function work again, empty this container– must be emp-
tied.
Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.
• Position a at container or dish on the oor under the drain hole. Do not allow the water to drip
continuously into the container as it might easily overow.
• Remove the drain knob.
• Remove the rubber plug, the water will ow in the container. When this is nearly full, replace the
plug to stop the water ow and empty it. Repeat this process until all water has been removed.
• Replace the rubber plug into the drain hole rmly, the
warning light should not ash any
longer.
• Replace the drain knob.

Permanent drainage eliminates the need to empty the water container.
Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the mains.
• Empty the water container as usual.
• Keep the rubber plug and drain knob in a safe place.
• Insert the drainage hose over the sprout.
• Lead the other end of the drainage hose to a normal water outlet.
Make sure the hose has no sharp bends and slopes down all the
way to let the water ow freely.
• Connect to the mains and start using the unit again.
When the unit is relocated or permanent drainage is not wanted any more, simply disconnect the unit
from the mains, remove the drainage hose and replace the rubber plug and drain knob.
Always unplug the unit from the power supply (wall outlet) before beginning the cleaning.
Housing
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body clean. Never use strong chemicals, oil-based products, deter-
gents, chemically treated cloths or other cleaning solutions. These could possibly damage the housing.
Filter
The active carbon lter must not be rinsed.
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the lter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt from the lters and then
rinse only the dust lter thoroughly under running water (not warmer than 40 °C). Dry thoroughly
before replacing.
NOTICE! NEVER OPERATE THE AIR CONDITIONER WITHOUT THE FILTERS.
