   • Press MODE button repeatedly until the LED of HEAT operation lights up.
   • Press ADD/MINUS button to set the temperature higher than the room temperature. The fan speed can also be set.
     Note: The drainage hose should be attached to the unit for continuous operating.
3. Ventilating your room
   • Press MODE button repeatedly until the LED of FAN operation lights up. In ventilation mode the room air is circulated, but not cooled.
   • Press SPEED button repeatedly to select the fan speed as desired.
4. Drying your room
   • Press MODE button on the control panel or remote control, the LED of DRY operation lights up. The fan speed is unable to select. User should connect the hose to the drain outlet at the bottom of the unit.
     Note: In this mode, the fan speed switches over to low speed and cannot be selected.
5. Sleep mode(this function can only be used with a remote control)
   The sleep mode can be activated when in cool mode and heat mode.
   • In cool mode:
     After 1 hour the preset temperature is increased by 1 ℃, after another hour the preset temperature will again be increased by 1 ℃.
   • In heat mode(Optional for Heating Function Unit only) :
     After 1 hour the preset temperature is decreased by 1 ℃, after another hour the preset temperature will again be decreased by 1 ℃.

Then the temperature is kept constant for 10 hours. And all the indicators dim to dark. The fan speed may switch over to low speed for silent operating and cannot be selected.

TIMER SETTING

(1hour-24hours):

The timer has two ways of operation:

To turn off (When power on)		Press Timer key to turn on the timer function.		Press ADD/MINUS repeatedly to set the delay OFF time.
To turn on (When power off)		Press Timer key to turn on the timer function.		Press ADD/MINUS repeatedly to set the delay ON time.
Cancel timer		Press ADD/MINUES repeatedly until the LED shows '00'. Note: when press POWER will also exit the timer setting.

Automatic Defrost

At low room temperatures, frost may buildup at the evaporator during operation. The unit will automatically start defrosting and the POWER LED blinking. The defrost control sequence is as follows:

1. When the unit operates in the cooling operation, drying operation, the ambient temperature sensor senses the evaporator coil temperature is below -1°C, after the compressor will stop operating for 10 minutes or the coil temperature up to 7℃, the unit restart to cool operating mode.
2. When the unit operates in the heating operation, drying operation, once the coil temperature sensor senses the temperature of the evaporator is below 40 ℃ and the differential temperature between coil temperature and room temperature is below 19℃ after the compressor operation for 20minutes, the unit start defrosting for 5 minutes and the power indicator blinking.

Overload Protection

In the event of a power loss, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarting.

DRAINAGE

Self- evaporating system

The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the condenser coils for better efficient performance. It is no need to empty the drainage tank in cooling operation except in heating operation, drying operation and high humidity conditions. The condensate water evaporates at the condenser and evacuated through the exhaust hose.

For continuous operation or unattended operating in drying and heating operation, please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensate water can be automatically flow into a bucket or drain by gravity.

Switch off the unit before operating. Remove the plug of the water outlet opening, and keep it in safe area. Securely and properly connect the drain hose and make sure it is not kinked and clear of obstruction. Place the outlet of hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water could freely flow out of the unit. Do not submerge the end of hose into water; otherwise it can cause "Air Lock" in the hose.
To avoid water spillage: As the negative pressure of condensate drain pan is large, tilt the drain hose downward toward the floor. It is appropriate that the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees. Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks)

Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.

1. Press POWER button to switch off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck dust from the filter.
4. Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water run through the filter in the opposite direction of air flow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.

Pic1. Switch off the unit and remove the two air filters.

Pic2. Rinse the air filter under running water.

Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or could cause injury of your fingers.

CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT

General Measures:

1. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate, and ventilate area.
5. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of water spray to disperse vapors.
8. Isolate the area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate and gas test area before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.

TROUBLESHOOTING

DECOMMISSIONING

STORAGE

Long-Term Storage - If you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time (more than a few weeks) it is best to clean the unit and dry it out completely. Please store the unit per the following steps:

1. Unplug the unit and remove exhaust hose and window kit store with the unit.
2. Drain the remaining water from the unit.
3. Clean the filter and let the filter dry completely in a shaded area.
4. Collect the power cord at the water tank.
5. Re-install the filter at its position.
6. The unit must be kept in upright position when in storage.
7. Preserving the machine in ventilating, dry, non- corrosive gas and safe place indoor.

ATTENTION:
The evaporator inside the machine has to be dried out before the unit is packed to avoid component damage and molds. Unplug the unit and place it in a dry open area for days to dry it out. Another way to dry the unit is to set the humidity point more than 5% higher than the ambient humidity to force the fan to dry the evaporator for a couple of hours.
