water is used to cool the cooling coils and make the unit run more efficiently. This is a feature not
found in most other portable air conditioners. If the unit is operated in a VERY HUMID
environment, water will start to collect in the built-in water reservoir. When the water tank
becomes full, the compressor and fan will stop. The water full indicator (W.F.) will lit to inform you
to empty the water tank. To resume cooling or heating, please empty water by one of the
following methods:
Draining into a Container
(Use the water tray supplied in the package)
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position the water tray under the drain spout.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain
spout. Water will flow out automatically.
4. When the container is almost full, replace the
rubber plug into the drain spout to stop the water.
Empty the container.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 until water is emptied.
6. Replace the rubber plug into the drain spout firmly.
The Full Water indicator should be off now.
7. Replace the drain knob.
