10-4-3. Draining the Water
• Holes are provided on the base plate of the
outdoor unit to ensure that the defrost water
produced during heating operations is drained off
efficiently. If a centralized drain is required when
installing the unit on a balcony or wall, follow the
steps below to drain off the water.
1. Proceed with water-proofing by installing the
water-proof rubber caps in the 2 elongated holes
on the base plate of the outdoor unit. [How to install
the water-proof rubber caps]
1) Place four fingers into each cap, and insert
the caps into the water drain holes by pushing
them into place from the underside of the base plate.
2) Press down on the outer circumferences of the caps
to ensure that they have been inserted tightly.
(Water leaks may result if the caps have not
been inserted properly, if their outer circumferences
lift up or the caps catch on or wedge against
something.)
2. Install the drain nipple and a commercially available
