The defrost operates as follows:
a. When the unit operates in the COOL or
DEHUMIDIFIER/DRY mode, the temperature sensor
will sense the evaporator coil temperature is below
-1°C. The compressor will then stop operating for 10
minutes or until the temperature reaches 7°C, the unit
will then restart in COOL mode.
b. When the unit operates in the dehumidifying mode,
once the coil temperature sensor senses the
temperature of the evaporator is below 40°C and the
dierence between the coil temperature and room
temperature is below 19°C, the compressor will
operate for 20minutes. The unit will then start
defrosting for 5 minutes and the POWER indicator
will blink.

9. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
9.1 Manual Drainage
1. The unit will automatically stop when the tank is full.
Unplug before emptying the unit.
2. Move the unit carefully to avoid spilling the water.
3. Place a container for the water below the drain.
4. Remove the drain valve to allow the water to ow out
into the container.
Notes:
− During drainage, tilt the body back slightly.
− When the water has emptied, ret the drain valve.
− Always ensure the drain valve is tted correctly
before restarting the unit.
9.2 Continuous Drainage
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to
cool the condenser coils for more ecient performance.
There is no need to empty the drainage tank in cooling
mode as any condensation will evaporate and exit
through the exhaust outlet.
For continuous operation in dehumidifying mode,
connect the drain hose to the unit so that the water can
automatically ow into a bucket or drain.
1. Switch o the unit and remove the drain valve. Retain
in a safe place.
2. Securely connect the drainage hose (E), making sure
it is not kinked and clear of any obstructions.
3. Place the end of the hose over a drain or bucket so
the water ows freely out of the unit.
4. To prevent any air locks, do not submerge the end of
the hose completely in the water.
9.3 General Cleaning
• Always switch o and plug the unit before cleaning.
• Clean the outer surface of the unit with a soft damp
cloth and mild detergent. Wipe dry.
• Clean the air inlet and lter regularly to stop a build of
dust which can have a detrimental eect on the
performance of the unit.
9.4 Cleaning the Air Filter (4)
Dust collects on the lter can restricting the airow and
reduces the eciency of the system. If it becomes
blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
Remove and clean the air lter regularly.
DO NOT operate the unit without the air inlet cover tted.
1. Switch o and unplug the unit.
2. Lift o the air inlet cover (4) with the mesh lter from
the unit.
