The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture removed from the air) is drained to the outside.

In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate water removed from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as

detailed below.	CABINET

1.Take the drain pan which is located in the air discharge.

2.Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan (for some models).

3.Install the drain pan to the right corner of the cabinet with 4 (or 2) screws.
