2) Remove the air filters and pour some water into the drain
pan to check the water flows smoothly.
3) If drain hose extension or embedded drain piping is required,
use appropriate parts that match the hose front end.

hose with an inner diameter of 16mm.
Be sure to thermally insulate the indoor section of the
extension hose.
5) When connecting a rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe (nominal
diameter 13mm) directly to the drain hose attached to
the indoor unit as with embedded piping work, use any
commercially available drain socket (nominal diameter
13mm) as a joint.
