3 SUMMARY This PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER is a small, movable air conditioner. It can be run in COOL, DRY and the various ventilation modes, and can be moved when desired. It is great for home and office use, and especially for houses with several rooms. Given its compact configuration, excellent workmanship and elegant appearance make one superior product. Note: Please read this manual carefully before running the unit. The manual is used for reference, and the technical parameters are subject to change without notice. WORKING PRINCIPLE The upper motor brings air from the room through the evaporator, which cools it. The lower motor brings air from the room through the condenser, which heats it. There are two duct systems in the structure. The rear outlet discharges the heated air. The front outlet discharges the cooled air, whose airflow is directed by the louver to cool the room.
