Maintenance

To avoid electrical shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord

before cleaning the unit.

Avoid using chemicals such as benzene, alcohol, gas, or turpentine

when cleaning the unit.

It is recommended that the air filter be replaced every two months (more frequently if the filter is visibly soiled). Built-up dust and debris on the filter will decrease airflow and impact the air conditioner's cooling efficiency.

When removing the filter from the ACP-1300E, following these steps:

1.Gently lift up the air filter cover.

2.Grasp the air filter and separate it from the cover.

Please Note:

When cleaning the air filter, use only warm water or a mild detergent. Once the

filter has been cleaned, allow it to completely dry in a cool place. Also remember

that the external case should only be cleaned with a soft, moist cloth.

This will then engage the built-in ion generator.

Please Note:

While indehumidification mode, the unit will automatically set the fan speed to "Low". The ACP-1300E will not allow fan speed adjustments, nor will adjusting the temperature affect the unit's operation.

In addition,while in fan mode, adjusting the temperature will not affect the unit's operation. If the ACP-1300E is in standby mode, the remote control's memory function willturn on. Your settings will be stored in the unit's memory, and when

used next,it will operate according to the last saved settings only the timer

function willneed to be reset (if you are using this function).

Drainage

When theACP-1300E is in operation, the condensed water will be drained into the water tank. If the water tank is full, a buzzer will sound 20 times, and the VFD indicator will display an "E2" error warning. At that time, the unit will cease operation, and if you wish to restart the unit, the water tank must be emptied by taking the following steps:

1.Turn off the unit.

2.Remove the rubber plug. The condensed water will then flow out.

3.After the water is emptied, replace the rubber plug.

4.Restart the unit.

Please Note:

1.The polarity of the batteries must match the indicator in the remote control.

2.Do not mix old and new batteries in the remote control.

3.To prevent corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used

for an extended period of time.

Air Exhaust Hose

The hot air exhaust conducts the hot, moist air produced by the unit away from

the space you are cooling. The window kit and exhaust hose can also be moved from room to room with the unit. You can exhaust the ACP-1300E by following one of the following two methods:

Exhaust the hot air through a window or sliding glass door (a window

kit extension may be necessary). Open the window or sliding glass door, install the window kit, and connect the exhaust hose.

50cm

If an existing window or sliding glass door cannot be used, a custom opening through a wall or ceiling can be cut out in order to facilitate the exhaust hose.

Please Note:

The hot air must be exhausted in order for the unit to produce a cooling effect.

When the ACP-1300E is not in use, safely store away the exhaust hose in a clean, dry place.

50cm

3. Operating Instructions

Exhaust Hose

1.The exhaust hose can extend from 1.8 feet to 6.5 feet. The shorter the hose , the better the cooling effect .

The hose should be as straight

as possible, as sharp or unnece

-ssary bends in the hose will prevent effective airflow.

This will subsequently result in overheating and possible

shut-down of the unit.

3.The length of the exhaust hose should not be extended past 6.5 feet. Replacement hoses are available for purchase through your NewAir vendor. We also recommend that you use only certified NewAir replacement parts.
