CONDENSATE EVAPORATION

Emergency Condensate Holding Tank
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to
evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an emer-
gency condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automati-
cally shut off and the control panel with display "Ft" (Full Tank). To empty the condensate tank, pull the
drain plug at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1" high to catch the
water coming out of the condensate tank. Connect the supplied drainage hose to the back of the unit to aid
in drainage into the pan. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few
minutes. The emergency condensate tank is approximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to pur-
chase a small hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 9/16" drain plug on the back of the unit
and drain the unit into a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage. It is not advised to use continu-
ous drainage when the room temperature is higher than 90˚F .
The unit, along with the fan will automatically shut off when the unit displays "Ft" (Full Tank).
To resume operation quickly, empty the water container according to the following steps:
1. Do not move the unit when the water container is full.
2. Place the drain pan under the drainage port at the back of the unit.
3. Remove the rubber plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically.
4. When the drain pan is full, install the rubber plug back onto the drainage hole to stop the water flow.
5. Empty the drain pan.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the water is emptied.
NOTE: Once the water container has
been emptied, install the rubber plug back
onto the drain hole. It is not advised to use
continuous drainage when the room tem-
perature is higher than 90˚F .
