The air conditioner has the capacity to dehumidify up to 134 pints per day. The patented

self evaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in

most environments when humidity is less than 70%. Areas with more than 70% humidity,

the self-evaporating function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the

remaining 2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner. 

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops

running and the TANK FULL  indicator illuminates notifying that the water

condensation needs to be drained.

1. Turn off the unit.

2. Carefully roll the unit to a drain location or position a flat container, dish or optional drain bucket accessory (sold separately) under 

the drain area of the lower drain port.

3. Remove the drain cover and rubber plug and the condensed water will drain out automatically.

4. Once all the condensed water is drained, replace the drain rubber plug and cover into the drain firmly.

Note: Please contact [email protected] for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a list of optional accessories

Switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the power plug from the power supply outlet before cleaning the air conditioner.

Clean the pre-filter.

Drain the condensed water completely.

On a warm day, set the unit to Fan only mode for half a day to dry the unit internally.

Gather the power cord and bundle it.

Remove the batteries from the remote.

If leaving the window kit in place, disconnect the exhaust and intake hose from the window slider kit and place the included 

covers on the kit. Otherwise, remove the window kit from the window opening.

Note: Depending on use, it is recommended that the air conditioner be cleaned internally annually. Please contact Whynter at 

[email protected] for internal maintenance cleaning instructions

Water Drainage

1. Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible

The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or twists to 

maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9'.

2. Turn the air conditioner on early

Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more effective. The 

air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set temperature.

3. Reduce heat sources

Direct sunlight, televisions, computers and other heat generating appliances work against the air conditioner by introducing heat 

into the space.

• Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out

• Close doors and windows

• Keep ovens and stoves off

• Turn off unused lights

• Add weather stripping around windows and doors

4. Keep the air filter clean

Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the airflow and 

efficiency of the unit.

• Clean the washable pre-filter regularly

• Replace the activated carbon filter and Help filter every XX depending on use

• Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents
