- While operating in dry (dehumidify) mode, remove

the upper drain plug from the back of the unit, install

the drain connector (5/8 universal female mender) with

3 4 hose(locally purchased). For the models

without drain connector, just attach the drain

hose to the hole. Place the open end of the

hose adaptor directly over the drain area in your

basement floor. Please refer to Fig.18a.

- While operating in heating pump mode, remove the

lower drain plug from the back of the unit, install the

drain connector (5/8 universal female mender) with

3/4 hose(locally purchased). For the models

without drain connector, just attach the drain

hose to the hole. Place the open end of the

hose adaptor directly over the drain area in your

basement floor. Please refer to Fig.18b.

NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there are

no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making

sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water from

flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and

make sure the end of the hose is down to let the

water flow smoothly.(See Fig.18a,18b,19a). Do

not let it up.(See Fig.19b).

- When the water level of the bottom tray reaches

a predetermined level,

the digital display area shows "P1" . At this time

the air conditioning/dehumidification process will

immediately stop. However, the fan motor will

continue to operate(this is normal).

Carefully move the unit near a drain location,

remove the bottom drain plug and let the

water drain away (Fig.20). Reinstall the bottom

drain plug and restart the machine until the "P1"

symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for

service.
