5. Empty the drain tray.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary.
Direct drainage
1. Remove the drain cap and rubber plug from the drain.
2. Connect the drain hose to the drain. The drain hose can be extended if needed.
The portable air conditioner will now drain through the drain hose. Please note that
this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain with gravity only, i.e., only
“downhill.”
Maintenance
Notes:
Always unplug the portable air conditioner before performing cleaning or
maintenance.
Never hose this air conditioner down or attempt to clean it with a dripping wet sponge
or cloth.
Cleaning the exterior
• Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the body clean
• Never use harsh chemicals, gasoline, etc. to clean the portable air conditioner-
they may cause permanent damage to the surface.
Cleaning the condenser coils
• From time to time, run the hose attachment from a vacuum cleaner over the air
intake on the side of the unit. This will help clean household dust out of the
condenser coils and allow the unit to run as efficiently as possible.
Prefilter and charcoal filter
Notes:
To keep dust from clogging the unit, never use the portable air conditioner
without the filter.
The prefilter on the back of the unit collects dust contained in the air. It must be
cleaned periodically to keep the portable air conditioner operating at maximum
efficiency.
We suggest that you clean the prefilter once every two weeks- or more often if it
operates in a dusty environment.
Do not bend the prefilter.
This portable air conditioner comes with an activated charcoal filter. This filter fits
into the filter frame between the air conditioner and the prefilter. The prefilter faces
the exterior of the unit and serves as the first filter for airborne irritants. The prefilter
is washable and can be reused indefinitely. The charcoal filter absorbs odors, smoke
and gases into itself; it will lose its effectiveness over time. We suggest you replace
the charcoal filter twice a year.
