ADDING WATER
An added feature of these models.
Humidity absorbed from the air condenses at the Evaporator, turns into water and is
collected in the internal tank.When enough water is collected it is pumped up and over
the condenser, assisting the cooling of the refrigerated gas, increasing the COOLING
CAPACITY. Some of this recycled water is evaporated at the condenser and expelled
from the machine as water vapour though the exhaust hose.
To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner from initial start up, we recommend
that 800 mls of water be added to the internal water tank via the small draw located at
the rear bottom left side of the machine.
Normally an adequate quantity of water is
collected to keep the recycling process
operating.
During very humid conditions the collection
of water may over take the evaporation rate
and the internal tank may become full.
The maximum water level in the tank is
controlled by a float and micro switch, when
the preset level is exceeded the Full Water
indicator light will illuminate and the
compressor will shut off automatically, the fan
motor will stay on circulating the air.
At this time, you must empty the water tank
as described “Drainage” page 9.
However during low humidity it maybe necessary to add more water to the internal
tank to increase the cooling capacity.
If there is any doubt regards the quantity of water in the tank we suggest
that you drain the tank and start again adding the 800 mls.
