EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner
6
Notes about the Exhaust Hose
Your portable air conditioner is designed to exhaust condensate
water that is collected from the air. This water, in either gaseous or
droplet form, will be expelled out the exhaust port of the unit.
Please take this into account when deciding how to vent it.
1. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner can
be extended up to 48 inches; however for maximum efficiency, use
the shortest length possible.
2. Try to prevent any kinks or bends in the exhaust hose. Kinks or
bends may trap exhaust air which can radiate heat into the room or
potentially cause the portable air conditioner to overheat and shut
itself off.
3. The exhaust hose supplied with the portable air conditioner has
been specifically designed for this air conditioner. Do not lengthen
the hose by adding additional hoses or attachments or replace it
with any other hose.
Do not lengthen the
exhaust hose by adding
additional hoses or
attachments.
Warning: Longer hoses are not recommended.
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. When the water tank is full it will stop working.
Direct drainage
1. You will need a bucket to drain water into.
2. Unscrew the water plug and unplug the water blocker.
3. Once unit is fully drained insert the water blocker and screw on
the water plug. Please note that this unit has no drain pump; all
water will drain with gravity only, i.e., only “downhill.”
NOTE:
When ready to drain
make sure to keep the unit
straight up and do not tilt to
avoid water leaking from
reservoir.
