Disposal
The self-evaporating system (all models excluding S-80) uses
the collected water to cool the condenser coils, maximising
performance and efficiency. There is no need to empty the drainage
tank for this cooling operation except when using the dehumidifier
mode or in high humidity conditions as typically the condensate
water evaporates into the exhaust outlet. Should the tank become
full, follow the steps below to drain.
For continuous or unattended operation, or operating in
dehumidifier mode, please connect the attached drain hose to the
continuous drain outlet. Condensate water can be sent straight
down a drain or collected in a suitable bucket.
•
Switch off the unit.
•
For continuous drain: Remove the plug from the continuous
drain outlet.
When drainage tank full: Remove the plug from the drain
outlet.
•
Securely and properly connect the drain hose and make sure it is
not kinked and is clear of obstruction.
•
Place the end of the hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that
water can freely flow out of the unit.
•
Do not submerge the end of hose into water; otherwise it can
cause an air lock in the hose.
To avoid water spillage:
•
Negative pressure may cause some water to remain. To avoid
this, ensure the drainage hose is at an angle steeper than 200.
•
Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.
If the unit will not be used for an extended period, completely
drain any water and dry the unit out by leaving the drainage cap
off. Alternatively, dry the unit by leaving it on Fan Mode with the
drainage pipe attached to the continuous drain outlet, until the
drainage pipe becomes dry. Store in a well ventilated, dry area.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances in general waste.
Contact your local government for information regarding the
disposal options available. If electrical appliances are disposed
of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and cause a hazard for wildlife and human health.
