Moisture removal
The moisture that your air
conditioner removes from the air
drains to the rear the cabinet
where it is picked up by a
and
dispersed against the condenser.
Occasionally, more
during
start-up, a “pinging” noise may be
heard. This is
a short
time in less humid areas and longer
in very humid areas. This method
of moisture removal improves the
operational efficiency of your air
conditioner.
Note:
moving your
conditioner to another location, turn

wait 5 or minutes. This
will allow the condensate to drain
from the coil into the base pan.
Then, keeping a firm grip on the air
conditioner, carefully raise the
window and tilt the air conditioner
to the outside to drain the water
from the base pan.
