This portable air conditioner is designed for cooling and dehumidifying rooms. Before use, ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface with at least 18 inches (45cm) of clearance around it. Always transport the unit in a vertical position. If transported on its side, let it stand upright for 6 hours before plugging it in. Ensure the unit is connected to a properly grounded socket.
Description
The unit features a control panel on top, handles on both sides, and castors for mobility. Key components include the intake and outlet grilles, a deflector, and drainage ports for water removal.

Installation
To exhaust hot air, the unit must be placed near a window. Extend the exhaust hose and attach the hose inlet and outlet. Connect the hose inlet to the unit and the hose outlet to the provided window slider kit. The window slider kit can be adjusted to fit most vertical and horizontal windows. Use the provided foam sealer to close any gaps.


Operation
The unit offers several modes: Cool, Heat (on heat pump models), Fan, Dry, and Smart. Use the control panel or remote controller to select the mode, adjust temperature, and set fan speed (High, Low, Auto). The unit includes a timer function for delayed start or shutdown and a Sleep function for night-time operation.

Water Drainage
When the internal tank is full, the unit will stop and display "Ft". You can drain water manually by placing a pan under the lower drain plug, or use the continuous drainage method by connecting a drain hose to the drain outlet. Ensure the drain hose is not higher than the drain outlet to allow proper water flow.


Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the air filter every week of operation. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust or wash it in warm water (max 40°C) if very dirty. Clean the cabinet with a slightly damp cloth and dry it. Do not use harsh chemicals or water to wash the unit directly.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not start, check the power supply and safety device. If it does not cool, ensure windows and doors are closed and there are no heat sources in the room. If an unpleasant smell is present, clean the air filter. For error codes like "PF" or "Ft", refer to the self-diagnosis section in the manual.
