Automatic Defrost

At low room temperature, frost may build up at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting and the power indicator will blink. The defrost control sequence is as follows:

• When the unit operates in cooling or drying mode, and the ambient temperature sensor detects the evaporator coil temperature is below 30°F, the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or until the coil temperature raises up to 44°F. After that, the unit will restart cool mode operation.
• When the unit operates in dry mode, once the coil temperature sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is below 104°F and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is below 66°F after the compressor operation for 20 minutes, the unit starts defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator blinks.

Overload Protection

In the event of power loss, there is a 3 minutes delay to protect the compressor before it restarts.

Grounding

This product must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

For additional safety, the power cord features an integrated circuit breaker. Test and reset the buttons provided on the plug.

Diagram showing the power plug with RESET and TEST buttons, and an electrical outlet.

The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button. If it does not cause the circuit breaker to trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the unit immediately and contact your service technician.

Water Drainage
