V. Protection Functions

3.1 Frost Protection

In cooling, dehumidification, or economic power saving modes, if the exhaust pipe temperature drops too low, the unit enters protection status. It will resume normal operation when the temperature rises.

3.2 Overflow Protection

When the water in the water pan exceeds the warning level, the unit will alarm, and the display will show "FL". Connect the drainage pipe to a sewer or other drainage area to empty the water. The unit will return to its original state after emptying.

3.3 Compressor Protection

To ensure the compressor's longevity, it features a 3-minute delay before restarting after being turned off.

VI. Drainage Instructions

1. Manual Drainage
