-Under heating pump mode, remove the lower drain
plug from the back of the unit and install the drain connector
(5/8" universal female mender) with a 3/4" hose (locally
purchased). For models without a drain connector,
simply attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open
end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area in
your basement floor.
-When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a
predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times and the
digital display area shows P1. At this time, the air
conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately
stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate
(this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain
location, remove the bottom drain plug, and let the water
drain away. Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart
the machine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error
repeats, call for service.
NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there
are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain,
making sure that there are no kinks that will
stop the water flowing. Place the end of the
hose into the drain and make sure the end of
the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly
(see Figures with . Never let it up. (see Figures with ).
When the continuous drain hose is not used,
ensure that the corresponding drain plug and
knob are installed firmly to prevent leakage.
NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug
firmly to prevent leakage before using the unit.
