Drainage
When the product is in cooling mode, dehumidification will be performed simultaneously, during this process water will be accumulated inside the product. When the water reaches the preset level, the compressor will stop and only the fan will operate. The Alarm indicator(RUN LED LIGHT start to flash, the unit will begin to beep ) turns on, the air conditioner switches itself off. To reset the unit for normal operation, drain the water using one of the following methods: (1) Drain Tray 1. Turn off the unit when the Alarm indicator turns on. 2. Position the supplied drain tray flat on the floor, beneath the drain hole. 3. Remove the drain cap and rubber plug from the drain hole, allowing the water to drain out to the drain tray. 4. When the drain tray is almost full, put the rubber plug back to the drain hole and empty the tray. 5. Repeat the above procedures if required.

The drain hose may be extended if required. 3. After draining, put back the rubber plug and drain cap. The Alarm indicator should now be off. The unit is now capable of normal operation.

Maintenance
Important Note: Always unplug the unit from the mains before maintenance or cleaning. Before cleaning the unit, turn it off and unplug it from the outlet. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner by hosing it down or wiping it with a dripping wet sponge or cloth. Cleaning the exterior surfaces Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the body clean.
16

 Never use aggressive chemicals, petrol, detergents, chemically treated cloths or harsh cleaning solutions these may cause permanent damage to the external surface.
Cleaning the filter

The air filter located on the back of the unit, collects dust contained in the air. To keep the dust from clogging the unit, your unit must always be used with its air filter. The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air filters must be cleaned every two weeks, and more often if the machine operates in a dusty atmosphere. If the filters are obstructed, the air conditioner will be less efficient. To remove the air filter, place fingers in the notch just under the top of the air filter handle and pull up. Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, you can wash it in warm water (never hotter than 40oC or soapy water). Make sure that the air filter is completely dry before putting it back in the unit. Do not bend the filter. NOTE: The filter comes with an additional charcoal screen, which removes foul odors and smoke in the air. Remove the charcoal screen before washing the air filter, by sliding the screen out. Important Note: Never operate the unit without the filter fitted. LONG TERM STORAGE At the end of the season, or when you do not plan to use the unit for an extended period of time, we recommend that you take the following steps: When the unit is not required for an extended period, it should be correctly stored. Unplug the unit. Completely drain the condensed water. Clean the filter. On a warm sunny day operate the unit in fan mode for a couple of hours to dry it out completely. Storage hooks are provided on the rear of the housing for coiling the power cord when not in use. Always unwind the cord completely before use.
