Water drainage
- In dehumidifying mode, remove the drain plug (see figure imme-
diately below) from the back of the unit, install the drain connector
(5/8" universal female mender) with 3/4" hose (locally purchased).
For models without a drain connector, just attach the drain hose to
the hole. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area
in your basement floor.
Continuous drain hose
Remove the
drain plug
NOTE: make sure the hose is secure so
there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward
the drain, making sure that there are no
kinks that will stop the water flow. Place the
end of the hose into the drain and make
sure the end of the hose is down to let the
water flow smoothly. When the continuous
drain hose is not used, ensure that the
corresponding drain plug are installed
firmly to prevent leakage.
Bottom
drain plug
When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined
level, the unit beeps 8 times and the digital display shows "P1". At this
time, the air conditioner/dehumidification process will immediately
stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal).
Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain
plug (see figure immediately below) and let the water drain away.
Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the "P1"
symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call the Customer Support
Service.
NOTE: be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug firmly to prevent
leakage before using the unit.
