- DO NOT operate the portable air conditioner if the power supply was damaged during cleaning. A damaged power cord must be replaced with a new cord. Contact Whynter Customer Support for more information.
WATER DRAINAGE
When the internal drain pan becomes full the appliance will beep 8 times and the digital display will show error code P1. The air conditioning or dehumidifying action will stop but the fan may continue to operate. Ensure that the appliance is turned off and unplugged and that it is close to a floor drain or to an external container.
A. Manual Drain Plug
Remove the drain plug and allow the collected condensation to drain completely
into a shallow external container. Replace the bottom manual drain plug,
pressing firmly to ensure a tight fit and no leaks.
B. Continuous Gravity Drain
During dry mode, install continuous drain option so that the appliance will
automatically drain collected water. Remove the upper drain plug and attach
the included drain hose. Place the open end of the drain hose over the
receptacle that the appliance will drain into; this could be a basement floor
drain, a sink, or similar. Ensure that there are no kinks or bends in the
drain hose and that it goes straight down toward the floor. The continuous
drain is activated by gravity only. If the hose is not positioned directly
downwards, water will not drain correctly.
C. Heat pump drainage (for ARC-1050XPH only)
This unit has a condensate pump feature that can pump out (and up) water
through the included drain hose for continuous water removal during HEAT Mode.
Remove the heat pump drain plug from the back of the unit and install the
drain hose. Place the open end of the hose to a drain area.
NOTE: The condensate pump will only engage during Heat mode and will not work in any other modes. Pump drain hose is required to be installed when using in Heat Mode. To reduce pump drain noise, make sure to attach the drain hose adapter to the open end of the drain hose.
UNIT CLEANING
- Unplug the appliance before cleaning or servicing. Clean the cabinet with a lukewarm damp cloth and neutral detergent. Dry the cabinet with a lint-free dry cloth.
