Warning: The unit’s built-in re-evaporator will not function until you insert the

drainage plug into the drainage outlet. When the unit cools or dehumidifies, condensation forms. The unit has a built-in re-evaporator that allows it to expel condensation through the warm air exhaust stream. This feature allows the unit to operate indefinitely without requiring you to empty a water collection tank. The unit ships with both the upper and lower drainage plugs pre-installed. 6-1 Cooling Mode with Re-Evaporation Both plugs must remain installed to enable re-evaporation of condensation. 6-2 Cooling Mode without Re-Evaporation To use Cooling mode without re-evaporating condensation, remove the bottom drain plug and route user-supplied drain line to external drainage. The top drain plug must remain installed. 6-3 Dehumidify Mode When using the unit in Dehumidify mode, remove the top drain plug and route user- supplied drain line to external drainage. The bottom drain must remain installed. This will maximize the amount of water removed from the air. Note: If the drainage system becomes clogged, a small internal reservoir will collect condensation. If the drainage system is not cleared before the internal reservoir fills, the unit will shut down automatically.

Warning: Before connecting the unit to a dedicated drainage system, turn it off

and unplug it. There is a risk of electric shock while the unit is plugged in. Note: If your building’s cooling system has night or weekend thermostat setbacks, has periodic shutdowns, or has limited cooling capacity, you may need to consider alternatives to the standard installation. This product is meant to be used as a supplemental cooling device, and cannot make up for significant fluctuations in building temperature or humidity.
