Set up drain hose

Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in
a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water
can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other
container for water collection, check it regularly to
prevent overflows. Verify hose fitting is attached to short
hose exiting the unit.

NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 6 m above the bottom of
the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that
might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause
a water backup and result in overflows.
