• Under the Cool or Fan mode. there's no need of using the upper drain port.
• During DRY(dehumidifying) mode. remove the drain plug and the exhaust hose from the back of the unit.
• Install a drain hose (12mm [1/2] inside diameter) and place the open end of the hose at a suitable drain location or outdoors.

Using the Bottom Drain Port

When the internal water collection tank is full. the LED display will show FL and the air conditioner will turn off until the tank is emptied.
