Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter panel on the rear of the unit.
3. Remove the filter by gently pulling it out.
4. Wash the filter with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Water Drainage

This unit features an auto-evaporation system, which typically expels condensed water through the exhaust hose. However, in high humidity conditions, the internal water tank may fill up. If the tank is full, the unit will stop operating and display an error code (e.g., 'FL').

• Turn off the unit and unplug it.
• Place a shallow pan or container under the drain port at the bottom rear of the unit.
• Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
• Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.
