Drain water :
Drain pan and drain hose need to be installed before using. Drain hose is
not included in the products, you need to purchase it locally to satisfy your
particular needs. Use the following procedure to install drain pan and drain
hose.
1. Slide out the chassis from the cabinet.
2. Install the drain pan to the corner of the cabinet with 2 screws.
3. Connect the drain hose to the outlet on the drain pan bottom.
4. Slide the chassis into its original place in the cabinet.
To get the maximum cooling efficiency , the air conditioner is designed to
splash the condensation water on the condenser coil . If the splashing sound
annoy you , you can remove the rubber plug from the chassis to lower the
noise, which also cause a bit loss of performance.
