Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your portable air conditioner.

1. Drain-Free Operation:

The Hisense portable air conditioner features a self-evaporating system in cooling mode, which typically eliminates the need for manual draining. The condensed water is used to cool the condenser coils, then expelled with the exhaust air.
