2. Installing the window sealing plate assembly:

Half open the window and mount the window sealing plate assembly to the window (as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3); the assembly can be placed in a horizontal or vertical direction.
Pull various components of the window sealing plate assembly to adjust their opening distance to bring both ends of the assembly into contact with the window frame and fix various components of the assembly into place.

3. Installing the body:

Move the machine with installed heat pipe and fittings into position. The distance between the body and walls or other objects should be least 50cm (as shown in Figure 4).
Elongate the heat pipe and snap the flat end of the heat pipe joints into the elliptical hole of the window sealing plate assembly (as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6).

Operation instructions of remote control

The remote control panel is as follows:

Variety of Protection Functions

1. Frost Protection Function:

In cooling, de-humidification or economic power saving mode, if the temperature of the exhaust pipe is too low, the machine will automatically enter protection status; if the temperature of the exhaust pipe rises to a certain temperature, it can automatically revert to normal operation.

2. Overflow Protection Function:

When the water in the water pan exceeds the warning level, the machine will automatically sound an alarm. At this point, you need to move the drainage pipe connecting the machine or the water outlet to sewer or another drainage area to empty the water. After the water is emptied, the machine will automatically return to its original state.

3. Automatic Defrosting:

The machine has an automatic defrosting function: During defrosting, the heating symbol on the display screen will flash.

4. Automatic Thermal Protection:

To protect the service life of the machine, the machine has automatic thermal protection in heating mode. During the protection period, the compressor and the lower motor will stop operation and will automatically return to the normal heating state after the temperature of the machine recovers.

5. Protection Function of the Compressor:

To increase the service life of the compressor, it has a 3-minute delay booting protection function after the compressor is turned off.

Drainage Instructions

1. Manual drainage:

When the machine stops after the water is full, turn off the machine power and unplug the power plug.
Note: Please move the machine carefully, so as not to spill the water in the water pan at the bottom of the body.
Place the water container below the side water outlet behind the body.
Unplug the water plug; the water will automatically flow into the water container.

Note:

Keep the drainage cover and the water plug stored safely.
When draining, the body can be tilted slightly backwards.
If the water container cannot hold all the water, before the water container is full, plug the water outlet with the water plug as soon as possible to prevent water from flowing to the floor or the carpet.
When the water is released, stuff the water plug and tighten the drainage cover.
Restart the machine after the water plug and drainage cover are installed, otherwise, condensation from the machine will flow to the floor or carpet.

2. Continuous drainage (only applicable to cooling and de-humidification mode):

Unplug the water plug.
Set the drainage pipe into the water outlet.
Connect the drainage pipe to a bucket.

Cleaning & Care

Cleaning: Before cleaning, turn off the machine and unplug the power plug.

1. Clean the surface

Clean the surface of the machine with a damp soft cloth. Don’t use chemicals, such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, etc., otherwise, the surface of the air conditioner will be damaged.

2. Clean the filter screen

If the filter screen is clogged with dust, the effectiveness of the air conditioner will be reduced. Be sure to clean the filter screen every two weeks.

1: Clean the upper filter screen frame

Clasp the wedging block of the EVA filter screen frame with your hands. Push down from the outside to remove the EVA filter screen frame. Remove the EVA filter screen (as shown in the above figure).
Put the EVA filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40°C/104°F) and dry it in the shade after rinsing it cleanly.

2: Clean the lower filter screen frame

Hold the handle of the CON filter screen frame and gently pull it outward to remove it.
Put the CON filter screen into warm water with neutral detergent (about 40°C/104°F) and dry it in the shade after rinsing it cleanly.

Post-season storage:

Unplug the water plug and remove the water in the water pan into other water containers or directly tilt the body to release the water into other containers.
Turn on the machine, adjust it to low ventilation mode and maintain this state until the drainage pipe dries out, to keep the inside of the body in a dry state and prevent mould & mildew.
Turn off the machine, unplug the power plug and wrap the power cord around the wrapping post; install the water plug and the drainage cover.
Remove the exhaust pipe and store it safely.
Cover the air conditioner with a plastic bag. Store the air conditioner in a dry place, keep it out of the reach of children and take dust control measures.
Remove batteries from the remote control and keep them properly.

Note: Ensure that the unit is placed in a dry place and keep all accessories.
