In this case, you are recommended to leave a slight draught through a door or window to guarantee
correct ventilation.
•
Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).
•
Never use the appliance outdoors.
•
Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run.
•
Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.
•
Never obstruct the air intake [ 6 ] or outlet grills [1].

WATER DRAINAGE METHOD
Water drainage will generally only be required when you store the air conditioner away or when not in use.
NOTE
As a safety measure, to positively prevent water spillage, the air conditioner is equipped with a fail-safe
“(FULL TANK) device, if, the water tank fills. The unit will completely stop, the control panel displays” the compressor and fan will not restart until the tank has been drained.
INTERMITTENT DRAINAGE (fig.h)
Turn the air conditioner off, and then drain the water tank by unplugging the drain cap and allowing the water to flow onto a drain pan. It may be easier to wheel the unit outside, remove the drain cap and drain the water onto the ground freely.
The water tank is considered sufficiently drained when no more water flows from the drain outlet.
To completely drain all water from the water tank, tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more water drains from the outlet.
Restart the air conditioner by pressing the on/off button. Ensure that the unit is in COOL or DRY mode. The compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is switched on.
