4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the efficient operation of your portable air conditioner. This unit requires an exhaust hose to vent hot air outside.

2. Attach the exhaust hose adapter (for window kit) to the other end of the exhaust hose in the same manner.
3. Extend the exhaust hose to its full length (approximately 59 inches / 1.5 meters). Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hose, as this can reduce efficiency.

• Cooling Mode:

  Press the MODE button until the cooling indicator light is on. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set your desired temperature. The unit will cool the room to the set temperature. Recommended temperature range for cooling is 61°F-90°F.
• Dehumidifier Mode:

  Press the MODE button until the dehumidifier indicator light is on. In this mode, the fan speed is fixed to low. For continuous drainage, connect the drain hose to the continuous drain port on the back of the unit and lead it to a floor drain or bucket.

• Fan Mode:

  Press the MODE button until the fan indicator light is on. Use the SPEED button to select between Low and High fan speeds. No cooling or dehumidification occurs in this mode.

5.3 Timer Function:

The timer allows you to set the unit to turn on or off automatically after a set period (1-24 hours).

• To set Auto-Off: With the unit running, press the TIMER button. Use UP/DOWN to set the desired hours until shutdown.
• To set Auto-On: With the unit off, press the TIMER button. Use UP/DOWN to set the desired hours until startup. The unit will start in the last selected mode.

5.4 Sleep Mode:

In cooling mode, press the SLEEP button (often combined with another button on the remote, or a dedicated button if present). The unit will operate quietly and gradually increase the set temperature by 1°F after the first hour, and another 1°F after the second hour, maintaining this temperature for 6 hours before resuming normal operation. This conserves energy and provides comfortable sleep.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your portable air conditioner.

6.1 Cleaning the Air Filter:

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter panel (usually on the back or side of the unit).
3. Remove the filter by gently pulling it out.
4. Wash the filter under running water (warm, not hot) or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

6.2 Draining Water:

The unit has an automatic evaporation system, but in high humidity conditions or during dehumidifier mode, the internal water tank may fill up. The unit will stop operating and display an error code (e.g., "FL" for full tank) when full.

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it.
2. Place a shallow pan or tray under the drain port (usually at the bottom rear of the unit).
3. Remove the drain plug/cap. Water will begin to flow out.
4. Once all water has drained, replace the drain plug/cap securely.
5. For continuous drainage in dehumidifier mode, connect the provided drain hose to the continuous drain port and ensure it leads to a lower drain point.

6.3 Storage:

If storing the unit for an extended period:

• Drain all accumulated water from the unit.
• Clean the air filter.
• Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
