Upon cooling, when the compressors operate continuously for more than 10 minutes and if the pipe
temperature is less than or equal to 2°C continuously for 20 seconds, the compressor and water spraying
motor will turn off, other loads will operate and the LED will display E4. The unit will then initiate the anti-frost
protection function and the buttons will be inactive (except the OFF button). Once the pipe temperature is
greater than or equal to 8°C, the protection function is then relieved, original status is restored and the unit
will meet the requirements for 3-minute delay protection of the compressor.
Full Water Protection
When the water in the water tray exceeds the recommended level, the unit will automatically sound an alarm
and the full water indicator will light-up. If this happens, the condensation needs to be manually drained from
the unit. If not, the unit will shut down automatically after the buzzer gives off 5 beeps. (For more information,
please see "Water Drainage" section). If the unit is not shut down manually, the unit will be restored to the
previous operating status automatically once the water is fully drained. Or the power may be turned ON
again to start the unit.
Delay Protection
This unit offers a restart protection for the compressor. Except that the compressor may start immediately
when the unit is turned ON for the first time, there is a 3-minute delay start protection after the compressor is
turned OFF.

Water Drainage
Manual Drain
1. Once the unit shuts down when the water tray is full, turn OFF the unit and then unplug it.
NOTE: Move the unit carefully to avoid spilling water from the water tray.
2. Put the tray that holds water below the water outlet at the back of the unit.
3. Screw off the drain cap, unplug the water plug and water will flow into the tray that holds water
automatically.
NOTE: • Protect the drain cap and water plug properly. • Tilt the unit slightly backward when draining. • If
the tray cannot hold all the water in the unit, block the water outlet with the water plug before the tray
becomes full to prevent the water from flowing onto the ground.
4. Once the water is fully drained, insert the water plug and screw on the water cap tightly.
NOTE: Turn ON the unit only after the water plug and drain cap are installed properly. Otherwise, water
will flow onto the ground.
Continuous Drainage
1. Screw off the water cap in the direction shown above and then remove the water plug (Figure 13).
2. Insert the OD 13mm PVC drain hose (8-10mm) into the water outlet (Figure 14).
3. Connect the drain hose to a drainage or outside.

NOTE: • The drain hose must be installed only when there is no water in the tray. • When in Cooling
mode, it is not recommended that continuous drain be set far from the unit when in use. This is to ensure
that there will be water for the condenser and enhance the cooling effects of the unit. • When operating
in Heating mode, use continuous drain to avoid prematurely shutting down the unit due to the water tray
becoming full.
4. Put the drain hose in an inaccessible place at a height below the water outlet and keep the drain hose
free from kinks and bends.
5. When continuous drain is in use, secure the drain cap and water plug properly.

Maintenance
Turn the unit OFF and unplug it before attempting any maintenance and servicing.
Surface Cleaning
Clean the surface of the unit with a soft, wet cloth. Do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol and
gasoline. Otherwise, the surface of the air-conditioner may be damaged and could even damage the whole
unit.
Cleaning the Filter Frame and Filter Mesh
Clean the filter mesh once every two weeks. If the filter frame and filter mesh are clogged with dust and dirt,
the performance of the air-conditioner may decrease.
1. Hold onto the gripping position of the evaporator filter and the condenser filter frames and take out the
filter frame gently in the direction shown by the arrow (as shown in Figure 15).
2. Hold onto the gripping position of the evaporator filter and condenser filter meshes and take out the filter
mesh gently in the direction shown by the arrow (as shown in Figure 16).
NOTE: When taking out the filter frame or filter mesh, apply an even force to avoid twisting or damaging
the filter frame or filter mesh. Be sure to take out the filter frame first and then take out the filter mesh.
3. Put the evaporator filter frame, condenser filter frame, evaporator filter
mesh, and condenser filter mesh in warm water (about 40°C) and add a
neutral cleaner. Clean them gently and air dry in a shady area.
NOTE: Careful not to damage the mesh fabric of the filter frame and
filter mesh.
