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 on the unit 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, 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 keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly. 

  Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly. 

 Perform 

routine 

maintenance.
