compressor will start in approximately 3-5 minutes.
NOTE: In heating mode, cold air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust
hose must be connected to exhaust out the cold air.
If outside temperature is lower than inside temperature, air intake hose should be blocked and
unit will take in air from the air filter.

NOISE LEVEL
Portable air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below
are normal. Noise reflecting off hard surfaces such as a floor or wall can make the sounds seem
louder than they actually are.
The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound.
Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound.
Fan sound may come from front and back air vents.
WATER DRAINAGE
During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this
water is used to cool and exhausted to the outside. If the unit is operated in high humidity or low
temperature environment, water will collect in the reservoir inside the unit. If the reservoir is full, the
compressor will stop. To continue the cooling function, please drain the water.
