modes. Each fan speed corresponds to one indicator on LED control panel. Please note: when unit is in dehumidifier mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted.

10. About water adding function

Some portable air conditioners in the market can self-evaporate the condenser water, by using water pump to extract the condenser water collected from the air to cool the condenser in order to increase the cooling efficiency.

This unit not only self-evaporates the condenser water, but also comes with patented water injection function, allowing the user to add some water to increase the cooling efficiency, rather than rely on the condenser water collected from the air. This function is especially useful to the areas where the humidity is very low and condenser water is not enough to cool the condenser.

When the water is not enough for the water pump, the pump will stop working. At the same time, the

Water filling light on the control panel will illuminate, you can fill some water into the water-filling drawer carefully. To avoid overfilling the water, use the included measuring cup to fill the water no more than 1800ml (three cups). This operation may help save 20%-30% energy for you.

Please note, all the functions will work normally even when the water tank is empty and water pump stop running. You can choose not to add water. However, do not add water if the product is used in the place where has moderate or high humidity.

WATER DRAINAGE

During the cooling or dehumidifying mode, the condenser water will be drained into the internal water tank. Since this unit is equipped with a self-evaporative system, the condenser water will be used to cool the condenser making the unit run more efficiently. However, if the unit is used in high humidity areas, the water may need to be drained out. When the water tank is full, the water full indicator at LED control panel will light up and the compressor will stop running. The buzzer will sound for 10 times every 5 minutes unit the water is drained out.

After draining out the water, the alarm will stop and the unit will work normally. The compressor will start to run five minutes after the power is back on.

You can drain the water out with a drainpipe (included). Please follow the steps to drain the water:

1. Turn off the power;
2. Place a plate, pan or container under the drain mouth;
3. Remove the water stopper from the drain mouth, thus the condenser water will flow out of the water tank.
4. If you want to continuously drain the water, please use the drainpipe and follow the steps:

(1) Turn off the power;
(2) Place a plate, pan or container under the drain mouth;
(3) Take off the water stopper
(4) Connect the supplied drainpipe to the water mouth, and place a container at the end of
the pipe to collect the water. The condenser water will drain out automatically into the container.

(5) If you want to extend the drainpipe, you can use 9mm l. D. plastic pipe to connect with the supplied drainpipe.

Attention: Do not move the unit while the water is full. It may cause the water to overflow on the floor and damage the product.
