DRAINAGE
Manual drainage:
1）When the machine stops after the water is full, please unplug the power
plug.
Notes: Please move the machine carefully, so as not to spill the water in the
water pan at the bottom of the body.
2）Place the water container below the side water outlet behind the body.
3）Unplug the water plug, the water will automatically flow into the water
container.
Notes:
1. Keep the water plug properly.
2. During drainage, the body can be tilted slightly backward.
3. If the water container cannot hold all the water, before the water container is
full, stuff the water outlet with the water plug as soon as possible to prevent
water from flowing to the floor or the carpet.
4）When the water is discharged, stuff the water plug.
Notes: 1. Restart the machine after the water plug and drainage cover are
installed, otherwise condensate water of the machine will flow to the floor or the
carpet.
26
Continuous drainage
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the
condenser coils for better efficient performance. It is no need to empty
the drainage tank in cooling operation except in drying operation and
high humidity conditions. The condensate water evaporates at the
condenser and is evacuated through the exhaust hose.
For continuous operation or unattended operation in drying operation,
please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensate water
can be automatically flow into a bucket or drain by gravity.
Switch off the unit before
operating.
Remove the plug of the water
outlet opening, and keep it in a
safe area.
Securely and properly connect
the drain hose and make sure it
is not kinked and clear of
obstruction.
Place the outlet of the hose over
a drain or bucket and ensure that
water could freely flow out of the
unit.
Do not submerge the end of the
hose into water; otherwise it can
cause an "Air Lock" in the hose.
To avoid water spillage:
• As the negative pressure of the condensate drain pan is large, tilt
the drain hose downward toward the floor. It is appropriate that
the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees.
•
Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.
