Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and
efficiency from your portable air conditioner:
• Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.
• Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they
do not obstruct the air intake.
• Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.
• Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid
kinks or bends.
• Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of
the day.
• Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example,
set the timer to turn on the unit in cooling mode for 3 or more
hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may want to operate
the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.
• Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers,
people, etc.) in the room.
• Close all windows and doors.
• Use the unit in a contained room. For example, a room with four
walls and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
• Make sure the unit is on a level surface.
• Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run the
unit as a dehumidifier.
• To prolong the compressor_s life, please wait at least 3 minutes
before turning the unit back on after shutting it off.
• Inspect and keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly.
• Perform routine maintenance.
