8. draining the water tank
This∙Air∙Conditioner∙has∙an∙internal∙water∙tank∙that∙collects∙water∙that∙condenses∙inside∙the∙unit∙during∙normal∙operation.∙When∙this∙water∙tank∙fills∙with∙water,∙the∙'Water∙Full'∙
Indicator on the Control Panel will blink, and the water tank must be emptied before further use is possible.
The water tank can be emptied in one of two ways:
Manual drainage – as required
If∙a∙suitable∙drain∙is∙not∙available,∙one∙option∙is∙to∙drain∙the∙water∙manually∙whenever∙the∙water∙tank∙eventually∙fills∙(as∙indicated∙by∙the∙blinking∙'Water∙Full'∙Indicator).∙To∙do∙this,∙
you will first need a large container to collect the water in. Place the container under the Water Drain Outlet, then carefully remove the rubber stopper from the Outlet so that the
water in the water tank drains into the container.
note: when unplugging the stopper, water may spurt out, so be careful with the container.
Manual drainage - continuous
To do this, one end of the drain pipe must be connected to the Water Drain Outlet during use, and the other end leading to a water drain or similar. No section of the drain pipe
must be raised for this drainage method to work.
note: continuous drainage may affect the air conditioner's efficiency, and so manual drainage is preferable for normal use.
cleanInG and StoRaGe
Important:
•∙Before∙cleaning,∙be∙sure∙to∙unplug∙the∙unit∙from∙the∙power.
•∙Before∙storage,∙it∙is∙important∙to∙drain∙the∙water∙from∙the∙water∙tank∙completely∙(see∙'Operation'∙section).
1. cleaning the air Filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust/dirt, the air filter should be cleaned. Cleaning the filters once every two weeks of use is recommended.
- Dismounting : Open the air inlet grille and take off air filter.
-∙Cleaning∙:∙Clean∙the∙air∙filter∙with∙neutral∙detergent∙in∙lukewarm∙water∙(<40°C∙(104°F))∙then∙dry∙in∙the∙shade.
- Mounting : Putting the air filter into the inlet grille; replace the components as they were.
2. cleaning the outer surfaces of the air conditioner
Do∙not∙wash∙the∙unit∙directly∙with∙water;∙use∙a∙clean∙cloth∙(lightly∙dampened∙with∙water∙and∙some∙neutral∙detergent∙if∙necessary)∙to∙wipe∙away∙dirt,∙then∙use∙a∙dry∙cloth∙to∙
thoroughly dry the unit before further use.
