6. Maintenance

The unit features a removable and washable mesh filter. Clean the filter regularly (every two weeks or more often depending on usage) to maintain air quality and cooling efficiency.

6.2 Drainage
The unit features auto-evaporation technology, which typically eliminates the need for manual drainage in cooling mode under normal humidity conditions. However, in high humidity environments or when operating in dehumidifier mode, manual drainage may be required.
- Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation in dehumidifier mode, connect the included drainage pipe to the continuous drain port and direct it to a suitable drain or container.
- Manual Drainage: If the internal water tank becomes full, the unit will indicate a 'Water Full' alarm and stop operation. Unplug the unit, place a shallow pan under the drain port, remove the drain plug, and allow the water to empty. Reinsert the drain plug firmly.
