working in fan, dry or auto mode. This is only available in cooling.

Dehumidification Function

 In dry mode, the temperature can’t be adjusted and the fan will be on low.
 When the unit is in dry mode, humidity extracted from the air is collected

in an internal tank. If the tank is full, the compressor and motor turn off
automatically. The Water Full indicator light will turn on and an alarm will
sound as well.

 When the tank is full, drain the water as shown in the section about

drainage. You may also use the unit without having to empty the tank, by
using the continuous drainage feature. Additional information will be in
the drainage section.

the machine, the LCD will show an E1 or E2 error. Please contact NewAir if you
see either of these errors.

Remote Control

EFF I C I E NCY BOOSTER

This unit is equipped with an Efficiency
Booster function. By adding 2.5 pints (1.2L)
of water to the funnel on the side of the
unit, the energy efficiency can be elevated.
The principle is that while the machine is

A Name You Can Count On

working, the compressor will be getting hot. If you add water into the unit after
the unit has been running for more than an hour, the water will cool the
compressor so it uses less power.

The Efficiency Booster feature is meant to be used after one hour of usage and

the water should NOT be over 2.5 pints (1.2L). Otherwise, the “water full”

indicator light will light up and the unit will stop working.

If the Water Full indicator is on, please drain water from the port on the back
side of the unit until the light turns off. The unit will work again now.

DRAI N I N G THE UNIT

When the unit is operating in Cooling or Dry mode, humidity extracted from
the air is collected in an internal tank. If the tank reaches full, the
compressor and motor cut out automatically. At the same time, the “Water
Full” indicator comes on. An alarm will also sound. When the tank is full,
carry out the following instructions:

 Turn off the air conditioner and

avoid moving it when full.

 Position a container (a water

tray for example) underneath

the drain hole.

 Remove the drain knob &

rubber plug from the drain hole

and allow the water to drain out.

 When the container is almost

full, replace the rubber plug in

the drain hole and empty the water tray.

 Repeat until the unit is emptied.
 Replace the rubber plug and tighten the drain knob firmly.
 Switch on the unit - the full water or compressor operating indicator

should

not be flashing.

Should you prefer to use the appliance without having to empty the
tank every so often, proceed as follows:

 Remove the drain knob and rubber plug

and retain for future use.

 Connect the drain tube supplied to the

water outlet as shown and locate the other end into a drain.

 The drain tube may be extended by adding

an extension tube and using a suitable
connector.

Please note:

 The drain must be at a lower level than

the drain hole on the unit.

 Flashing Water Full indicator will not

function in this mode of drainage.

 If you want to extend the water tube, you

can connect it with

another tube (OD: 0.7” / 18mm)

CLEAN IN G & M A INTENANCE

Always unplug the air conditioner from the outlet before cleaning.
To maximize the efficiency of the air conditioner, clean the unit regularly.
