Operating Modes

The unit offers four versatile operating modes:

• AC Mode (Cooling): Provides powerful cooling. Adjust the desired temperature using the up/down arrows on the control panel or remote. The cooling capacity is 8000 BTU, suitable for cooling areas of 10-15m². The temperature range is 16°C to 32°C.
• Fan Mode: Circulates air without cooling. Ideal for general air circulation.
• Dry Mode (Dehumidifying): Reduces humidity in the room. Water collected will need to be drained from the unit.
• Sleep Mode: Gradually adjusts the temperature to ensure a comfortable sleeping environment while minimizing overnight energy consumption. The noise level in this mode is designed to be low, typically ≤53dB.

Oscillation

The automatic oscillation mode allows you to direct airflow across a wide area or in a precise direction for optimal comfort.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air conditioner.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality. A dirty filter can reduce efficiency.

1. Unplug the unit from the power outlet.
2. Remove the air filter from the back of the unit.
3. Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with warm, soapy water.
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.

Draining Water

In dehumidifying mode or high humidity conditions, water will accumulate in the internal tank. The unit will indicate when the tank is full and needs draining.

1. Place a shallow pan or container under the drain outlet at the bottom rear of the unit.
2. Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
3. Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, especially during off-season, use the provided dust cover to protect the unit from dust and sun damage.
