CONSTANT FAN(Press 3s)
COOL operation

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. When the
continuous drain hose is not used, ensure
that the drain plug and knob are installed
firmly to prevent leakage.
Water drainage
• During dehumidifying modes, remove the drain
plug from the back of the unit and install the drain
connector (5/8” universal female mender) with 3/4”
hose (locally purchased). For models without drain
connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place
the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in
your basement floor.
Remove the
drain plug
Continuous
drain hose
• When the water level of the bottom tray reaches
a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times.
The digital display 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.
Bottom drain plug
