Always keep the unit upright and allow it to sit for 24 hours before first use if it has been tipped.
Product Overview
The unit features a control panel, air outlet with adjustable louver, air inlet with filter, and an air exhaust. It includes a remote control and window installation kit.
Installation
Unpacking: Ensure all accessories are present, including the exhaust hose, hose connector, window kit adapter, and window kit.
Exhaust Hose Setup: The unit must be ventilated to the outside. Connect the hose connector to one end of the exhaust hose and the window kit adapter to the other. Extend the window kit to fit your window and connect the hose. Ensure the hose is not extended or bent excessively to maintain efficiency.
Location: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface with at least 50cm of free space around it for proper air circulation. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and uneven surfaces.

Drainage
Manual Drainage: When the water tank is full, the unit will stop. Place a container under the drain outlet, remove the plug, and allow water to drain.
Continuous Drainage: For drying mode or unattended operation, connect the drain hose to the unit and lead it to a floor drain or bucket.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the air filter every two weeks to maintain efficiency. Remove the filter, vacuum dust, and rinse under running water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare hands.
Troubleshooting
If the unit is not operating, check the power connection, ensure the water tank is not full, and verify the room temperature is within the operating range (5-35°C). Error codes like E0, E1, E2, or Ft indicate specific faults such as sensor failures or high water levels.
