of the appliance, please refer to the below paragraph of the manual.

USER TIPS

Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser and evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is dehumidified and cooled while a flexible exhaust hose sends heat outside. The air conditioner includes a window venting kit. No permanent installation is needed. The unit is easy to move from room to room and offers a truly flexible air conditioning solution. Auto Evaporation System – The unit automatically evaporates the condensate through the exhaust hose. There is no need to empty the drainage tank except in very humid conditions. Read and follow the instructions carefully.
To ensure optimal efficiency of the product, keep doors and windows closed when it is used as an air conditioner or dehumidifier. If the product is being used with the fan function only, an open window
could improve air circulation.
