Water drainage
During dehumidifying modes, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit, install the drain connector (5/8” universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (locally purchased). For the models without drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor.
During heating pump mode, remove the lower drain plug from the back of the unit, install the drain connector (5/8” universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (locally purchased). For the models without drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the Hose adaptor directly over the drain area in your basement floor.
NOTE Instructions Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the warter flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly. (See Figs with ). Do never let it up. (See Figs with ). When the continuous drain hose is not used, ensure that the corresponding drain plug and knob are installed firmly to prevent leakage.
When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times, the digital display area shows “P1”. At this time the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away. Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the “P1” symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.
NOTE Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug firmly to prevent leakage before using the unit.

Setting the Timer Fuctions
Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions: TIMER ON - sets the amount of timer after which the unit will automatically turn on.
TIMER OFF - sets the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn off.
TIMER ON function
The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn on, such as when you come home from work.
Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time period that you set and an "h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display. NOTE This number indicates the amount of time after the current time that you want the unit to turn on. For example, if you set TIMER ON for 2 hours, “2.0h“ will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on after 2 hours.
Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn on.
Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.
TIMER OFF function
The TIMER OFF function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn off, such as when you wake up.
Press the TIMER OFF button. By default, the last time period that you set and an "h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display. NOTE This number indicates the amount of time after the current time that you want the unit to turn off. For example, if you set TIMER OFF for 2 hours, "2.0h" will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn off after 2 hours.
Press the TIMER OFF button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn off.
Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER OFF function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.
NOTE
When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions, up to 10 hours, the time will increase in 30 minute increments with each press. After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1 hour increments. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours.
You can turn off either function by setting its timer to "0.0h".
Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time
Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time. For example, say that the current time is 1:00 PM, and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00 PM. You want it to operate for 2 hours, then automatically turn off at 9:00 PM.
Do the following (side figure):
Example: Setting the unit to turn on after 6 hours, operate for 2 hours, then turn off (see the figure below)

How to Use Use the Advanced Fuctions
SLEEP Function
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and don t need the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). This function can only be activated via remote control.
Note: The SLEEP function is not available in FAN or DRY mode.
SWING Function
Used to stop or start louver movement and set the desired up/down air flow direction. The louver changes 6 degrees in angle for each press (some models without). If keep pushing more than 2 seconds, the louver auto swing feature is activated.
FOLLOW ME function
The FOLLOW ME function enables the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location. When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT functions, measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit it self) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature around you and ensure maximum comfort.
Press FOLLOW ME button to activate function. The remote control will send temperature signal to the unit every three minutes.
Press FOLLOW ME button again to turn off this function.
SHORTCUT Function
Used to restore the current settings or resume previous settings.
Push this button when remote controller is on, the system will automatically revert back to the previous settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level and sleep feature (if activated).
If pushing more than 2 seconds, the system will automatically restore the current operation settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level and sleep feature (if activated).
