WATER CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
When there is excess water condensate inside the unit, the Portable Air Conditioner stops running
and shows an error code "P1" with an alarm. This indicates that the water condensate needs to be
drained using the following procedures:
Manual Draining in Cooling, Dehumidifying, and Auto Modes
Water may need to be drained in high-humidity areas.
1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Place a drain pan under the lower rubber drain plug.
See diagram.
3. Remove the drain plug cap.
4. Water will drain out and collect in the drain pan.
5. After the water is drained, replace the drain plug cap.
6. You can now turn on the unit.
If you find that there is a high volume of condensate and a shallow pan is not enough for your use,
you can use a large pan to drain. Follow the below instructions carefully:
1. Find a flat, stable board that is up to 1" thick. The base
could be a wooden board purchased from your local
hardware store, with minimum base dimensions of
20" (length) x 17" (width) x 1" (thickness).
2 . The base should be large and sturdy enough to fit the
Portable Air Conditioner on top. The air conditioner must
be stable and not rock or move when positioned on the
base and not easily topple over.
3. Drain the water from the lower drain plug as needed into
a larger pan or through a drain tube. If using a drain tube,
you can purchase vinyl tubing with an outside diameter
of 5/8" and an inside diameter of 1/2".
Remember the drain tube must be positioned lower than
the drain plug so the water condensate does not
flow backward back into the air conditioner.
WARNING: For safety reasons, the Portable Air Conditioner must NOT be positioned on a base that is
higher than 1" from the floor. This is only recommended if you have a stable, flat base to position the
Portable Air Conditioner on safely.
