Cleaning the Pre-filter
To clean the pre-filter, follow the steps below:
1. Power off the unit and remove the pre-filter.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the pre-filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt, then rinse
thoroughly under lukewarm running water (below 104°F). You may use a mild soap and water
solution if needed. Allow the pre-filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place. Dry thoroughly
before reinstalling.
Clean the pre-filter periodically. If the unit is used in a dusty environment you may need to clean it
on a weekly basis.
Preparation for Storage
If you are not going to be using the unit for an extended period of time, follow the instructions

thoroughly dry any moisture left on the coils inside the unit.
2. Power off the unit. Then clean or change the filters.
3. Unplug and carefully wind the power cord.
4. Remove the exhaust hose and duct connectors and keep them in a safe place.
Energy Saving Guide
Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and efficiency from your portable air
conditioner:
Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.
Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they do not obstruct the air
intake.
Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.
Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid kinks or bends.
Keep curtains, blinds, or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example, set the timer to turn the unit
on in cooling mode for 3 or more hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may want to
operate the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.
Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers, people, etc.) in the room.
Close all windows and doors.
Use the unit in a contained room. For example, operate the unit in a room with four walls and a
ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
Make sure the unit is on a level surface.
Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run the unit as a dehumidifier.
To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before turning the unit back on
after shutting it off.
Inspect and clean the pre-filters regularly.
Perform routine maintenance.
Warning: Never operate the unit without the pre-filter.
