HOW TO ATTACH THE DRAIN PAN (OPTIONAL)

Condensed water drainage

This air conditioner employs a “Slinger-Up System” which is designed to splash the condensed water on the condenser coil for maximum cooling efficiency, thus producing a splashing sound. If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an outside drainage by using the following procedure which may, however , cause a small loss of performance.

NOTE The cabinet should be installed tilted slightly lower to the rear for necessary condensate drainage.
