Emptying the Water
Collection Tank
When the internal water collection tank is full,
the LED display will show FL and the air
conditioner will turn off until the tank is emptied.
• Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the
exhaust hose from the back, and move the air
conditioner to a suitable drain location or
outdoors. You may also place a pan under the
drain that will hold up to 2 pints of water.
• Remove the drain cap from the drain outlet.
• Once the water collection tank is drained,
reinstall the drain cap, making sure it is on
securely.
• Place the air conditioner in the desired
location, reconnect the exhaust hose, and plug
in the air conditioner.
NOTE
If you want to disconnect the hose from the
product, grasp the mounting bracket on the
hose, turn it clockwise or counterclockwise,
and then disconnect it easily. (Reference

Cleaning the Case

Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then
wipe dry with a dry cloth or towel.
• To prevent damage to the finish, do not use
gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc., or any
abrasive cleansers to clean the air conditioner;
they may damage the finish.
• Never pour water onto or into the air condition-
er. It could damage internal components and
create a shock and fire hazard.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filters should be cleaned every two
weeks; depending on indoor air quality, more
frequent cleaning may be needed. A dirty air
filter will decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.
1. Pull out each air filter by the handle.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filter.
If the filters are heavily soiled, they can be
washed in warm water using a mild
detergent.
• Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot
water.
• Do not wash in a dishwasher.
3. Allow the filters to dry completely before
reinstalling.
4. Reinsert the filters.
