INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED):

WATER DRAINAGE

Certain functions of your air conditioning unit create condensation and the unit may need to evacuate accumulated water. Please carefully follow these instructions according to your operating and usage conditions.

COOLING MODE

During cooling mode, the unit attempts to evacuate all of the moisture through the exhaust hose to the outside along with the warm air exhaust At times, when the humidity level is very high, excess water may collect in the bottom tray. If the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times, the digital display area shows error P1. At this time

the air conditioning/dehumidication process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal).

Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and

let the water drain away (see Figure E). Reinstall the bottom drain plug and

restart the machine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service. NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.
