Drainage  
Specifications  
During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water  
is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most Portable Air  
Conditioners. If the unit is operated inVERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit.  
If the InternalWater Container is full, the backlight on the LCD display will flash, the unit will shut off, and  
it must be drained before it will re-start.

ambient temperature after a second.  
Note: When unit is in the following modes: Auto, Cool, or Heat - the compressor will cool/heat the room to reach  
the set temperature. Once the ambient temperature has reached the set temperature, the compressor will stop and  
unit will run in Fan mode. To conserve energy, the compressor will not start immediately after a couple degrees  
increase or decrease, but will wait for a 5ºF allowance. For example:

Before Use  
Operation  
Setting The Fan Speed  
Press the SPEED button to choose the fan speed you require, high or low.  
Important!  
The indicator of high or low fan will light up at the same time.  
• Leave the unit in an upright position for at least 2 hours before use.  
• Always place the unit on an even surface.  
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the  
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the  
fan speed switch is invalid.  
• The power cord has a built-in L.C.D.I. (Leakage, Current, Detection, Interruption) circuit  
breaker for added safety. If the power supply is interrupted, please press the reset  
button to reconnect the unit to the power source. The green light should be on.  
Setting theTimer  
Press theTIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 12 hours, the timer  
indicator will light up). When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off  
automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press theTIMER button.  
If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.  
• Make sure the unit is connected to a correctly grounded power supply.  
For proper operation, the unit must be vented to the outside.  
• Do not cover or obstruct the appliance inlet or outlet grilles.  
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you can PRE-SET the time for  
the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to ‘2’,  
the unit will come on automatically after 2 hours.  
To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used in bathrooms, shower rooms  
or in any other steamy or wet areas.  
All the above functions can also be performed with the supplied remote  
control. This remote control requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.  
• Always transport the unit in an upright position.  
• Do not sit or stand on the unit.  
Regulating the Airflow Direction  
• Do not place objects on the unit.  
Move the air vent  
• Do not touch the unit with wet/damp hands or when standing barefoot.  
directly to adjust the  
airflow direction  
from the horizontal  
louvers.  
Drainage of the water container is required before moving the unit or  
putting it into storage.  
• If the electric socket is different from the plug provided, have a professionally qualified  
electrician replace the outlet with a suitable one. Avoid the use of adaptor plugs, multiple  
sockets and/or extension cords; if their use is necessary, ensure that they conform to the  
current safety regulations.  
IMPORTANT!  
The compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is turned on (this will  
help prolong the life of the compressor). After switching the unit off, please wait at least  
3 minutes before turning the unit back on.  
• Do not pull the power cord or place it near a source of heat; always unroll it completely  
to avoid the possibility of dangerous overheating.  
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan, however, keeps  
working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen temperature +/ 5 F,  
the cooling will resume.  
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person.  
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than the one set  
(the fan keeps working at the set level). When the room temperature drops 5 F below the chosen  
temperature, heating will resume.  
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IFTHE ABOVE  
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.  
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. Sometimes, while using the heating function  
during low temperatures, the heating will stop for a while to melt the internal frost. When this occurs,  
wait for heating to resume.  
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds prior to the unit starting.
