2. Place a shallow pan or tray under the drainage port (usually located at the bottom rear of the unit).

If you encounter issues with your air conditioner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Unit does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the unit is not in standby mode.
• No cooling: Verify that the unit is in Cool mode and the set temperature is lower than the ambient room temperature. Check if the exhaust hose is properly installed and not blocked. Clean the air filter if it is dirty.
• Weak airflow: Ensure the air filter is clean. Check for any obstructions in the air intake or outlet.
• Unit is noisy: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check for any loose parts or obstructions.
