4. Operating Modes
The ZAFRO Portable Air Conditioner features three primary operating modes to suit your comfort needs:

- Cool Mode: Provides powerful cooling to lower room temperature. Ideal for hot weather. Adjust the desired temperature using the Up/Down buttons.
- Dry Mode (Dehumidifier): Reduces humidity in the air, making the room feel more comfortable without significant temperature drop. Suitable for damp or humid conditions.
- Fan Mode: Circulates air without cooling or dehumidifying. Use this mode for general air circulation or when a gentle breeze is desired. Fan speed can be adjusted (High/Low).
- Sleep Mode: Activates a quiet operation setting, ideal for nighttime use. This mode typically reduces fan speed and may gradually increase the set temperature to conserve energy and ensure comfortable sleep. The display light may also dim or turn off.
- Timer Function: Allows you to set a specific time for the unit to automatically turn on or off, providing convenience and energy savings.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your ZAFRO Portable Air Conditioner.
Air Filter Cleaning:
The unit features a removable and washable double-layer air filter. It is highly recommended to clean the air filter every two weeks of operation to maintain optimal performance and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Locate the air filter on the back of the unit.
- Gently pull out the filter.
- Wash the filter under running water (warm, not hot) or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Water Drainage:
During dehumidification or prolonged cooling, water will accumulate inside the unit. The unit has an internal reservoir and may have a drain plug at the bottom rear. When the reservoir is full, the unit will typically display a "FL" (Full) error code and stop operating. To drain the water:
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
