General area
When the heat pump is running in central heating mode, ice could
start to build up on the external finned coil. To prevent the amount
of from increasing, the system enters defrost mode, thereby
transforming the ice on the surface into water. The water dripping
from the external finned coil is eliminated by making drainage
holes to prevent the ice from forming at low temperatures.
Additional drainages are required if there is not sufficient space
to drain the unit. Follow the instructions below.
- Leave more than 100 mm between the bottom of the outdoor
unit and the ground to install the drain pipe.
- Insert the drain sleeve in the hole on the bottom side of the
outdoor unit.
- Connect the drain pipe to the drain sleeve.
- Make sure that no dust or small branches clog the drain pipe.
aTTENTiON:
insufficient drainage could downgrade
performance and damage the system.

1. Prepare a water discharge channel around the base, to drain
the water around the unit.
2. If the water does not drain easily, lift the unit onto a cement
block base, etc.
3. When installing the unit in a place subject to frequent
snowfalls, pay special attention to elevate the base as high as
possible.
4. If the unit is installed on a frame, install a waterproof plate
within 150 mm from the bottom of the unit in order to prevent
water from penetrating from below.
5. If wall-mounted (see figure below), it would be advisable
to place a collection tray below it, at about 150 mm from the
bottom of the unit, for the condensate, which could drip from
the appliance, to be collected and drained in a controlled manner.
