4-2.1. Draining the Reservoir
A.
Collect these items:
1.
An empty container to drain the water into that can hold at least 3 gallons
(11.4 liters).
2.
The drain hose with a female quick-disconnect fitting usually found in the
storage drawer of the unit.
3.
2 gallons (7.6 liters) distilled/sterile water to replenish the reservoir.
B.
Insert the drain end of the hose into the 3 gallon (11.4 liters) container. Set the
container on the floor so the hose drains downward.
C.
Attach the female coupling of the drain hose to any one of the male outlet couplings
on the right side of the unit.
1.
Slide back the collar of the female coupling.
2.
Insert the female coupling over the male coupling.
3.
Release the collar so the coupling ‘Snaps’ into position.
D.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded power outlet.
E.
Place the power switch to the “I” position.
F.
Press the TEMP SET button.
G.
Press the MANUAL CONTROL button.
The water is pumped into the container until there is approximately ½ gallon (1.9 liters) of water
remaining to be drained. The Status Display flashes LOW WATER and the alarm sounds. The unit
shuts down but the water continues to drain into the container because of gravitational pull.
H.

I.
Press the power switch to the “O” position.
J.
