Troubleshooting

The unit doesn’t run or • Is the machine plugged in?
only runs in fan mode • 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?

The unit seems to do little • 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?

• Is the room temperature within 5° of the
selected temperature?

The unit seems to do nothing • 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 is not cold enough • The room being cooled should have proper

insulation. If the unit is used in UN-INSULATED
rooms such as Sunrooms, Garages, or
Attics, ideal cooling might not be attained.

Too noisy • Is the machine positioned unevenly

so as to create vibration?

• Is the floor underneath the machine uneven?

The compressor doesn’t run • The overheat protection feature on the

compressor might be on. If this occurs,
wait for the temperature of the unit to drop.

• Is the water container full? Does it need draining?

NEVER TRY TO REPAIR OR DISMANTLE THE UNIT YOURSELF

Drainage

During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water
is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most Portable Air
Conditioners. If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit.
If the water container is full, the compressor will stop, but the fan will continue to circulate the air. The
POWER indicator will blink to inform you to empty the internal container. To make the cooling function
work again, please empty the water by one of the following methods:

By the Draining into a Container

Use a Shallow Container or Dish

1. Turn off the unit.

2. Position a flat container or dish under the drain hole.
Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container,
as it might easily overflow.

3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole.
The condensed water will drain out automatically.

4. When the container is almost full, replace the rubber plug
into the drain hole to stop the water. Empty the container.

5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 until all the condensed water is emptied.

6. Once all the condensed water has been removed,

replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly.
The Full Water indicator should be off now.

7. Replace the drain knob.

By Water Tube (Continuous Drainage)

1. Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and keep them

for future use.

2. Connect a suitable water tube

(of 3/4" internal diameter - supplied) to the water hole.
The condensed water will drain out automatically.

3. If you want to extend the water tube you can connect

it with another tube (outside diameter 3/4").

Special Caution for Heating Function!

While using the heating function, please note:

1. Install the exhaust pipe securely in order to exhaust

the cool air to the outside (please see page 6).

2. Use the continuous drainage option as described above.

3. The warmer the outside air the more heat will be

pumped into the room. Working range for heat pump
function is 41°F to 81°F. When used in room temperatures
outside this range, the unit may not function properly.

4. While using the heating function during low temperatures,

sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the
internal frost. When this occurs, just wait for heating to resume.
This is normal for compressor operated devices.
