Moisture removal
Themoisturethatyour air conditioner
removes from
theairdrains
to the rear
of the cabinet where it is picked up
by a fan and dispersed against the
condenser. Occasiondy, more likely
during start-up, a “pinging” noise
may be heard. This is normal for a
short time in less humid areas and
longer in very humid areas. This
method
ofmoistureremovd improves
the operational efficiency of your
air conditioner.
Note: Before moving your air
conditioner to another location,
turn it off and wait 5 or 10 minutes.
This will allow the condensate to
drain from the coil into the base
pan. Then, keeping a firm grip on
the air conditioner, carefully raise the
window and tilt the air conditioner
to the outside to drain the water
from the base pan.
