WATER DRAINAGE

- During dehumidifying modes, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit, install the drain connector (5/8 in. universal female connector) with 3/4 in. hose (not included). For the models without a drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor. Please refer to Fig. 22.

NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water from flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly (see Fig. 22). Never raise it.

- When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop, however, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away.

NOTE: When operating or draining water, always protect carpeting or floors from possible water spillage.

NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.
