Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Sickness Hazard
Do not drink water collected in water bucket. Doing so can result in sickness.
Pump Draining (models with a pump)
This feature can help to pump water with drain hose. You can also pump water to a
oor drain, out a window or anywhere you think suitable.
Open the drain outlet. Then, insert the drain hose through the water drain outlet.
Securely attach the hose to be sure there is no water leak.
Lead the drain hose to the oor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
The hose should not be kinked or pinched. If this problem occurs, the unit may
stop and display the error code "EB". See “Troubleshooting”.
If you want to unplug the drain hose, you need to press and hold the tightening
