• Is the machine plugged in?
• Is the electrical outlet working?
• Is the room temperature in the working range?
• Is the unit in cooling mode or heating mode
rather than auto mode when it will work
according to its own settings?
• Is the water container full?
• Is there direct sunshine? (Please close
the curtains or blinds)
• Are too many windows or doors open?
• Are there too many people in the room?
• Is there something in the room producing
lots of heat?

selected temperature?
• Is the dust filter dirty?
• Is the air intake or outlet blocked up?
• Is the room temperature within
the selected temperature +/ - 5°F?
• The room being cooled should have proper
insulation. If the unit is used in UN-INSULATED

so as to create vibration?
• Is the floor underneath the machine uneven?
• The overheat protection feature on the
compressor might be on. If this occurs,
wait for the temperature of the unit to drop.
