WATER DRAINAGE

Water Drainage:

The air conditioner evaporates condensed water and discharges the moisture through the

hot air outlet.

In some cases it is possible that all water did not evaporate and the internal water tank can

be full. If this is the case, the

WATER FULL light will illuminate

and the unit will stop running.

Follow the steps to drain the water.

Power off then unplug

the air conditioner,disconnect the exhaust hose from the back,and move the

unit

to a suitable drain location or outdoors.

Remove the base stopper from the base water outlet to drain water.

Once the internal water tank is drained.Reinstall the base stopper and make sure it is on securely.

Place the air conditio

er in the desired location,reconnect the exhaust hose ,and plug in the

air conditioner.

NOTE:

When the WATER FULL indicator light illuminates, there is approximately 1.5L of water in

the water tank.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

Continuous Drainage

In a high humidity environment, if possible the user can have a continuous drainage.

This can reduce the number of times you have to pour out water. Condensation is
discharged by gravity through a hose (not provided). Of course, this method will
reduce the efficiency of the unit.

a) Pulll out the partition plate stopper.

b) Connecting the hose to partition plate joint and lead it to the floor drain.or a suitable
area for draining the condensate.

When using the continuous drainage function, the hose must be placed horizontally below

the drainage hole.Avoid folding the hose or placing it on an uneven surface.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning.

To prevent accidents caused by electrical shock, make sure there is no

power to the unit before beginning maintenance or repair.

hose, the bending point should be at least 50 cm away from the exhaust air intake).
3.Keep the smoothness of the whole air exhaust hose.especially in the bending
points.Avoid any abrupt steep-angled bendings.
