Operating Modes
The unit features three primary operating modes:
- COOL Mode: Provides effective cooling for rooms up to 350 sq. ft. Temperature range: 61°F to 90°F.
- DRY Mode (Dehumidifier): Reduces humidity by removing up to 45 pints of moisture per day. Features self-evaporation; manual drainage is available for high-humidity areas.
- FAN Mode: Circulates air with two fan speeds (Low, High). Airflow rated at 300 m³/hr.
Image: A visual comparison of the three operating modes: COOL, DRY, and FAN. Each mode is depicted with an icon and a representation of its function, such as snowflakes for cooling, water droplets for dehumidifying, and wind for fan mode.
Additional Functions
- Timer: Set the unit to turn on or off automatically within a 24-hour period.
- Sleep Mode: Adjusts temperature and fan speed for quiet, energy-efficient operation during sleep.
- Swing Function: Directs airflow. The unit features 4-direction cool wind blowing with both auto and manual louver adjustments.

Important Operating Notes
- Turning the A/C unit OFF and ON again will trigger a 3-minute delay before cool air output resumes. This delay protects the internal compressor and is normal operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air conditioner.
Filter Cleaning
The unit includes a removable and reusable air filter. We recommend cleaning it monthly to ensure optimal cooling performance and to protect against dust and pet hair.
- Slide out the filter from its housing.
- Rinse the filter thoroughly under running water.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it.

Drainage
The unit features self-evaporation technology, which automatically atomizes condensed water. For areas with high humidity, manual drainage is available using the provided PVC drain pipe.
