DRAINAGE INSTRUCTION
9
This portable air conditioner has two drain ports - an
upper drain port and a lower drain port. It also has two
drainage methods that can be used: manual drainage and
continuous drainage.
MANUAL DRAIN IN COOLING MODE
This unit is designed with a highly efficient self-
evaporative system and it is suggested to use manual
drainage in cooling mode. Condensate will recycle in the
unit to cool the condenser and enhance cooling
performance. However in extreme humidity, the water
tank in the chassis will fill up and “FL” will show on the LED
display. When this happens the water tank needs to be
drained manually from lower drain port.
1. Put a shallow tray below the lower drain port at the back
of the unit.
2. Screw off the drain port cover
and then remove the
water stopper to allow water flow into the tray.
3.
After water has stopped flowing, plug in the water
stopper back in and screw the drain port cover back onto
the drain port tightly.
NOTE:
• To avoid leaks, if it is necessary to move the unit always
turn off the unit and make sure it is drained properly
before moving.
• If the drain port cover or water stopper are damaged
during use, they should be replaced with new ones.
• Tilt the unit slightly backwards when draining.
• If the shallow tray has insufficient capacity to hold all
the water that is draining, block the drain port with the
water stopper before the tray is full, empty the tray,
and then restart the draining process.
• The water stopper and drain port cover must be fitted
properly to avoid leakages.
CONTIOUOUS DRAIN IN HEATING MODE
We strongly recommend to use this method, and drain from
the lower drain port if the unit is being used in heating mode,
because self-evaporative cooling system does not work in
heating mode.
1.Screw off the drain port cover and remove the water
stopper.
2.Connect drain-hole with 13mm external diameter PVC
drain hose, inserted as deep as possible to avoid leakages .
3.Pull the end of the drain hose to a drain outlet within the
home, or to the outside of the home.
NOTE:
• The d
rain hose must be installed before unit starts
working.
• The drain hose should be routed so that it cannot be
accidentally accessed during normal use. It should also
be laid as straight as possible, with no sharp bends that
would restrict water flow. The entire drain hose should
also be kept at a level below that of the drain port.
ENGLISH
Choke Hazard
Keep the drain cover and the water stopper stored
safely, out of the sight and reach of infants and children,
when continuous drainage has been adopted.
