WATER DRAINAGE METHODS

WATER DRAINAGE (Fig. 20)
This air conditioner is equipped with the very latest MIST technology which means the water tank never fills.
This has been verified by independent testing conducted both in Australia and overseas under extremely humid conditions.
Water drainage will generally only be required at the end of the season (see End of Season Operations - page 15).
However, the mist technology does not operate when the unit is in dehumidifying (dry mode). Thus, the tank may require
emptying on occasions when operating for long periods in this mode.
As a safety measure, to positively prevent water spillage, the air conditioner is equipped with a fail safe device, if, the
water tank fills. The unit will completely stop including both fan and compressor.
The control panel LED displays " Ft" as mentioned in the Section on "Self – Diagnosis" – Page 17. The compressor and
fan will not restart until the tank has been drained.
Before draining the water tank (pan) take care not to move the air conditioner as water may spill onto the floor.
Turn the air conditioner off using the on/off switch on the unit or remote control. Then drain the water tank by
unplugging the drain outlet and allowing the water to flow onto the drain pan. The drain pan will not hold the full
contents of the water tank. A number of fills of the drain pan are required. It may be easier (after 3 or 4 pans have
been drained in order to avoid accidental spillage when shifting the air conditioner) to wheel the unit outside,
remove the drain plug and drain the water onto the ground.
The water tank is considered sufficiently drained when no more water flows from the drain outlet.
Restart the air conditioner by pressing the on/off button. Ensure that the unit is in COOL or DRY mode. The
compressor will start approximately 3 minutes after the unit is switched on.
NOTE: 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.
