horizontal louver.

Howto Attach DrainPan

The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the con@nsed water (moisture removed from the air} is drained to the outside.

in very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) ex_ssive condensate water removed from the air may cause some water to collecL To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as detai!_ below. CABINET

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

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

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

4. Conne_ the drain hose of 3/5"inside diameter to the outlet located at the

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling

capacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bosom of the inlet gdlle.(a) in another case, you can open the inlet grille downward by pulling out the top of the inlet

grille.(b)

2. Remove the air filter from the front gdlle assembly by pulling the air filter up or down slightly.

3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40_ (104_).(c)

4. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.

NOTE: Mark A of inlet grille means opening direction.

_ndenser.

4. To prevent reducing performance, insta[I the unit so that louvers of the cabinet are not blocked.

5. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to avoid leaking the _ndensed water into the room (about 1/2" or 1/4 bubble with level).

6. Install the unit with its bottom portion 30~60'' above the floor level

7. Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the wa!l to prevent air and insects from getting into

the room.

8. The power _rd must be connected to an independent circuit. The green wire must be grounded.

9. Connect the drain tube to the base pan hole in the rear side if you need to drain (_nsult a dealer.} Plastic hose or equivalent may be conn_t_ to the drain tube.
