The Internal Water Tank and Draining

During normal use, most of the moisture collected will be evaporated internally by the unit and expelled through the Exhaust (2). However, the internal water tank will eventually fill to its maximum capacity and the Water Full (WF) Indicator (8) will illuminate on the Control Panel (4) to show the tank is full.

To empty the water tank, take the unit outside, remove Tank Drain Cover (6) at the bottom rear left of the unit and allow the tank to empty. Alternatively connect a hose to the drain and lead it outside to the drain the tank continuously.

Note: Ensure the Tank Drain Cover (6) is replaced before using the unit again.

The amount of water collected by the tank and the frequency of draining is caused by the relative humidity levels which will vary and will depend on several factors:

1. Avoid placing the Air Conditioner near kitchens or bathrooms (though not in the bathroom!).
2. Avoid drying washing in the same room as the Air Conditioner.
3. Damp weather outside will affect the amount of water collected especially when it is raining.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is located behind the side Air Inlet (1) grille and will need occasional cleaning. To clean the filter, remove the filter by pulling the tab, the filter can be cleaned in lukewarm (40°C) water with mild detergent. See image left.

After washing allow the filter to dry naturally, laid flat to avoid stretching.

Note: Ensure that the filter has thoroughly dried before refitting it to the unit. DO NOT use the unit without the filter fitted.
