Draining the Unit
When the portable air conditioner is in cooling mode, or dehumidify mode, it will remove moisture
from the air. The condensed water from the air will be collected in an internal reservoir and will
be evaporated and exhausted out of the exhaust hose. However, in very humid conditions, the
internal reservoir may fill completely. This causes the air conditioner to turn off to avoid
overflowing the internal reservoir, the fan will continue to operate.
Continuous Drain
During dehumidifying mode, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit. Attach the drain
hose to the continuous drain outlet and route the end of the drain hose to a suitable drainage port.
M anual Drain
During cooling mode, once the water level of the bottom tray reaches capacity the unit will beep
several times and the digital display on the control panel will read “P1” to indicate the water must
be manually drained. Carefully move the unit to a drain location then remove the bottom drain
plug and connect the drain hose to the drain outlet. The portable air conditioner will now drain
through the drain hose. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all water will drain with
gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”
Once the unit is fully drained reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the “P1”
symbol disappears.
