Self-Diagnosis

This unit has a self diagnosis system to identify a number of malfunctions. Error messages will be displayed on the display screen.

IF IS DISPLAYED	WHAT SHOULD I DO?
PROBE FAILURE (sensor damaged)	If this is displayed, contact TURBRO service team.
FULL TANK (safety tank full)	Empty the internal safety tank, fol owing the instructions in the "WATER DRAINAGE METHODS"

Water Drainage Methods

TURBRO portable air conditioner comes with the auto-evaporation system. The unit can automatically evaporate the condensate. There is no need to empty the water except in humid conditions. When you run the dry mode, then it's required to install the hose as the unit might pull more water from the air.
When the water tank is full with water, the unit stops running and shows "" (FULL TANK as mentioned on SELF-DIAGNOSE). The compressor and fan won't restart until the water tank has been drained.
There are 2 ways to remove collected water from the air conditioner.

Method A: Manual Drainage

• Unplug the unit from power source.
• Place a receptacle pan (does not include) under the lower drain port.
• Remove the cap from the lower drain port and allow the water to flow into the pan. Your pan may not hold the full contents of the water tank. A number of fills of your pan may be required.
• Tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more water drains from the outlet.
• After the water is drained, replace the cap on the lower drain firmly.
• Restart the air conditioner by pressing the power button. Ensure that the unit is in COOL or DRY mode. The compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is turned on.

Method B: Continuous Draining

• Unplug the unit from power source.
• Remove the drain cap from the lower or middle drain port. During this step, some residual water may spill so place a receptacle pan (does not include) under the drain port to collect the water.
• Insert the 1/2" drain hose into the drain port. The water can be continuously drained through the hose to the floor or a bucket.

NOTE: Please be sure that the height of and section of the drain hose should not be higher than that of the drain outlet, or the water tank may not be drained.

If you notice or experience any of the following conditions, please turn off the air conditioner, disconnect from power, discontinue use, and contact support immediately.

• The power cord is overheating or otherwise damaged
• Abnormal sound during operation
• A strange odor is emitted from the unit
• Excessive water leakage the unit

Do not attempt to repair or retrofit the air conditioner by yourself. All repairs must be performed by qualified individuals.

Tips for First-Time Use

1. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 3-4 hours before powering on. Shipping carriers may set the unit on its side, which causes the refrigerant to pool in certain areas. Standing the unit upright for 3-4 hours allows the refrigerant to move freely within the coils.
2. Some parts with sharp edges may cause injury, so gloves are highly recommended for unpacking and installing.
3. Run the unit continuously for 24 hours after letting the unit stand upright for 3-4 hours. This allows the unit to work out any "kinks" that may have resulted during shipping from our factory to your doorstep.
4. If you have any difficulties during installation, please contact Customer Support Team via support@turbro.com for help.
5. If you have any problems with your product, please send us an email before submitting a return request, as there might be a simple solution for your issue.

Please read this operating manual carefully before operating the unit.

Risk of fire.
Before use the appliance, read the owner's manual first.
Before install the appliance, read the installation manual first.
Before repair the appliance, read the service manual first.
The figures in this manual may be different with the material objects, please refer to the material objects for reference.

The Refrigerant
To realize the function of the air conditioner unit. A special refrigerant circulates in the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R32, which is specially cleaned. The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous.
Furthermore, it can lead to explosion under certain conditions. But the flammability of the refrigerant is very low. It can be ignited only by fire.
Compared to common refrigerants, R32 is a non polluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R32 has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.

1. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of Obstruction.
2. Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Should repair be necessary, contact TURBRO Customer Service Team.
3. Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
4. Do not pierce or burn.
5. Appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 21.5ft² (2m²).
6. Appliance filled with flammable gas R32. For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer's instructions only. Be aware that refrigerant not contain odor.
7. Read specialist's manual.
