5.2 Tank Drain

Occasionally, it may be desirable to drain both tanks. There is a drain plug

on the bottom of the cooler frame. See Figure 9. First, make sure all power is off.
The cooler must be moved so that the water can be drained from the bottom into a

container to collect the water (about 11/4 gal).
