Maintenance

Drainage-Free Operation

The ZAFRO portable air conditioner features a 72-hour drainage-free cooling system. Condensate water generated by the evaporator is collected in a drip tray and then evaporated via the condenser. Residual droplets are thrown into the condenser for secondary evaporation, minimizing the need for manual drainage.

This diagram explains the internal process of the drainage-free cooling system, showing how water droplets are evaporated and reused.

Note: In environments with high humidity or when operating in Dry Mode, it is recommended to connect the provided drainage hose for continuous drainage to prevent overflow.

Filter Cleaning

The unit is equipped with a removable filter, typically located on the side or rear panel. Regularly clean the air filter to maintain air quality and cooling efficiency.
