▪ Make sure that condensation water can be evacuated properly.
▪ Install the unit on a base to make sure that there is proper drainage in order to

away from the unit.

bottom side of the unit in order to prevent water from getting into the unit and
to avoid drain water dripping (see the following figure).

evacuated condensate CANNOT freeze. We recommend to do the following:
▪
Insulate the drain hose.
