INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DRAIN CUP INSTALLATION AND USE
Your air conditioner uses a system where the water
removed from the indoor air (condensate) is channeled
to the outdoor side of the unit. The outdoor fan blade
has a “slinger” ring attached to it that dips into the water
and slings the water onto the outdoor coil surface. This
is the sound of water you hear during normal operation.
The water quickly evaporates on this warm surface
and improves the efficiency of your air conditioner. In
normal conditions the unit can evaporate the water as
fast as it is removed from the indoor air.
However, in very humid conditions excess amounts of
water may drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be
a problem, install the condensate drain cup included
with the unit to route excess water where it will not be a
problem (see illustration).
To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case.
Insert the condensate drain cup through the recessed
½
ʺ
hole on the back center of the outer case. Once
inserted, place a ½
ʺ
diameter hose or tube on the drain
cup bottom spout. The hose allows you to route where
you want the excess water to go. Reinsert the unit
chassis into the outer case. The unit base pan overflow
hole will be positioned directly above the drain cup and
will catch any water that might run out.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
Replace two shipping screws on both sides of cabinet

Operating your air conditioner properly will help you
obtain the best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
• If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3
minutes before turning it back on. This prevents
the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a
circuit breaker.
• Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the
cooling mode when outside temperature is below
61°F (16°C). Do not try to operate your air
conditioner in the heating mode when outside
temperature is over 86°F (30°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner
will not operate properly.
NOTE:
In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner
will operate at the previous settings when the power is
restored.
