6. Troubleshooting

If your unit is not operating as expected, please check the following common issues:

• Unit not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet. Check for tripped circuit breakers.
• Insufficient cooling: Verify that the exhaust hose is properly installed and sealed to the window kit. Ensure no windows or doors are open, allowing warm air to enter. Clean the air filter if it is dirty. Check that the room size is within the unit's cooling capacity.
• Unusual noise: Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Check for any obstructions around the air intake or exhaust.
• Water leakage: Ensure the drain plug is securely closed if not using continuous drainage. If using continuous drainage, verify the hose is not kinked or blocked.
