7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your unit.
Draining Water
The unit features a built-in self-evaporation system, so daily draining is generally not required. However, in highly humid environments (e.g., basements, laundry rooms) or when using Dehumidifier mode, continuous draining may be necessary. If the internal water tank becomes full, the unit will stop and display an "HL" signal.
- To drain, unplug the drain plugs on the back of the unit.
- Connect the provided water pipe for continuous draining into a floor drain or bucket.
- Slightly tilting the machine backward will drain more thoroughly.

Cleaning Air Filters
The filters are designed for easy disassembly without tools and can be washed directly with water.
- Remove the air filters from the back of the unit.
- Rinse the air filters directly with clean water.
- Allow filters to dry completely before reinserting.
