Water Drainage Method
This air conditioner is equipped with the very last MIST technology which means the water tank nearly
never∙fills.∙Water∙drainage∙will∙generally∙only∙be∙required∙at∙the∙end∙of∙the∙season(see∙START-END∙OF∙SEASON∙OPERATIONS∙on∙page∙17).∙
note: As a safety measure, to positively prevent water spillage, the air conditioner is equipped with a safety feature.
If the water tank fills, the unit will completely stop and the control panel will display "
The compressor and fan will not restart until the tank has been drained.
Intermittent Drainage(fig.25 and fig.26)
•∙∙ T urn∙the∙air∙conditioner∙off,∙then∙drain∙the∙water∙tank∙by∙unplugging∙the∙drain∙cap∙to∙allow∙the∙water∙to∙flow∙onto∙the∙drain∙pan.
The drain pan will not hold the full contents of the water tank. A and multiple filling of the drain pan may be required. It may be easier
∙(after∙3∙or∙4∙pans∙have∙been∙drained∙in∙order∙to∙avoid∙accidental∙spillage∙when∙moving∙the∙air∙conditioner)∙to∙wheel∙the∙unit∙outside,
remove the drain cap and drain the water.
•∙∙ T he∙water∙tank∙is∙emptied∙sufficiently∙when∙no∙more∙water∙flows∙from∙the∙drain∙outlet.∙To∙completely∙drain∙all∙water∙from∙the
water tank, tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more water drains from the outlet.
•∙∙ R estart∙the∙air∙conditioner∙by∙pressing∙the∙on/off∙button.∙Ensure∙that∙the∙unit∙is∙in∙COOL,∙DRY∙or∙HEAT∙mode
∙(included∙with∙Model∙ARP-8126HCA).
•∙The∙compressor∙will∙start∙approximately∙3∙minutes∙after∙the∙unit∙is∙switched∙on.∙∙
Continuous Drainage (fig.27 and fig.28) * (included with model ARP-8126HCA)
When operating in HEAT mode, continuous drain method can also be used to avoid the trouble of manual drainage.
•∙Empty∙the∙water∙tank∙completely.
•∙∙ C onnect∙one∙end∙of∙the∙drain∙hose∙on∙the∙drain∙outlet,∙and∙lead∙the∙other∙end∙to∙outdoor∙or∙and∙place∙where∙can
be drained freely.
•Turn∙on∙the∙unit∙and∙select∙HEAT∙mode.
When continuous drainage method is used in HEAT mode, the water removed from the air flows out through the drain hose continuously.
note: Please be sure that the height of and section of the drain hose not be higher than that of the drain outlet,
as the water tank may not be drained.
