CONDENSATE EVAPORATION
Emergency Condensate Holding Tank
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to
evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an emergency
condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automatically shut
off and the led of
BUCKET FULL
will light up on the control panel display. To empty the condensate tank,
pull the drain plug at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1” high to catch
the water coming out of the condensate tank. Connect the supplied drainage hose to the back of the unit to aid
in drainage into the pan. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few min-
utes. The emergency condensate tank is approximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to purchase a
small hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 5/8” drain plug on the back of the unit and drain the
unit into a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage. It is not advised to use continuous drainage
when the room temperature is higher than 90
°
F .
If you do not need the emergency tank emptied immediately simply leave the unit on. The fan in your air con-
ditioner will continue to run to help evaporate the moisture as fast as possible.
To resume operation quickly, empty the water container according to the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off
. Do not move the unit when the water container is full
.
2. Place the drain pan accessory under the drainage port at the back of the unit.
3. Remove the rubber plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically.
4. When the drain pan is full, install the rubber plug back onto the drainage hole to stop the water flow.
5. Empty the drain pan.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the water is emptied.
NOTE:
Once the water container has
been emptied, install the rubber plug
back onto the drain hole. It is not advised
to use continuous drainage when the
room temperature is higher than 90
°
F .
