CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Internal Water Tank
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to evaporate
all of the moisture in the air fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an internal water tank inside
the unit. The internal water tank holds approximately 1.5 liters of water; when it becomes full, the air conditioner will
automatically shut down and the Bucket Full indicator light will be illuminated. The air conditioner will resume normal
operation once the Internal Water Tank is emptied.
There are two methods of draining the internal water tank: continuous drainage (requires a garden hose and a floor
drain), or manually emptying the tank. Both methods are explained in this section.
How to Set Up Continuous Drainage (Optional)
Please note that continuous drainage will only work in rooms with/in close proximity to a drain built into the floor.
IMPORTANT: It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the room temperature is higher than 90°F (32.2°C)
1. Place the air conditioner on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the cap on the continuous drain port (
6
) on the back of the unit.
3. Thread a garden hose (not included) onto the now-accessible continuous drain port.
4. Lead the garden hose to a floor drain and cut off the excess hose length.
5. Make sure there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose as shown below.
6. When you turn the air conditioner on, gravity will help drain the water from the internal water tank down into the
hose, and exit via the floor drain. This process will occur automatically.
How to Manually Drain the Internal Water Tank
You will need a small pan (approximately 1" (2.54 cm) high) to catch
the water coming out of the water tank. Once the water tank has been
emptied, your air conditioner will resume normal operation within a
few minutes.
1. Do not move the unit when the water container is full, as the water
will
spill
out.
2. Place a small pan under the condensation drain hole (
9
) on the
bottom side of the unit.
3. Once the pan is in place, remove the drain plug from the
condensation drain hole. The accumulated water will drain out
into the pan. You may also insert the included optional drain
tube
(
17
) to facilitate the draining process.
4. When the drain pan is full, insert the drain plug back into the
condensation drain hole to stop the draining process.
5. Empty the drain pan into an appropriate location such as a sink,
bathtub,
etc.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all water has been emptied from the
internal water tank.
7. Firmly press the drain plug back into the condensation drain
hole as shown.
If using the optional drain tube, firmly plug
in the drain stopper (
18
) once the internal
water tank has been emptied.
