5.2 Drainage

The COWSAR spot cooler features a non-drain structure in cooling mode, where condensed water is evaporated internally. However, during dehumidification mode, or if the internal tank fills up, manual drainage or continuous drainage is required.

• Continuous Drainage: For extended dehumidification, connect the included drain hose to the unit's drainage port and direct it to a suitable drain.
• Manual Drainage: If the internal water tank becomes full, the unit will alert you. Unplug the unit and carefully move it to a drain location to empty the tank.

If you encounter any issues with your COWSAR Portable Spot Cooler, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed.
• No cooling: Verify that the unit is in Cooling mode and the temperature setting is lower than the ambient room temperature. Check if the exhaust hose is properly installed and venting hot air outside. Ensure the air filter is clean.
• Weak airflow: Clean the air filter. Ensure there are no obstructions to the air intake or exhaust vents.
• Water leakage: Check if the drain hose is properly connected for continuous drainage, or if the internal water tank needs to be emptied.
