• Hot sun rays hitting the outside surface
of the cabinet will create considerable
heat load. If the outside of the cabinet is
exposed to direct sunlight, consider
building an awning to shade the cabinet
while providing ample area for the heated
air to be exhausted from the condenser
(both sides) and the top.

HOW TO ATTACH THE DRAIN PAN (OPTIONAL)

AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION

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. (Max. 13/32”)

1 Remove the rubber plug and slide the chassis out from

the cabinet.

3 Connect a drain hose (optional).

Fit the drain hose to the drain pan.
