DRAINAGE

Self-evaporating system:
The self-evaporating system uses the collected water to cool the condenser coils for better efficient performance. It is no need to empty the drainage tank in cooling operation except in heating operation, drying operation and high humidity conditions. The condensate water evaporates at the condenser and evacuated through the exhaust hose. For continuous operation or unattended operating in drying and heating operation, please connect the attached drain hose to the unit. Condensate water can be automatically flow into a bucket or drain by gravity.

Switch off the unit before operating.
Remove the plug of the water outlet opening, and keep it in safe area.
Securely and properly connect the drain hose and make sure it is not kinked and clear of obstruction.
Place the outlet of hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water could freely flow out of the unit.
Do not submerge the end of hose into water; otherwise it can cause “Air Lock” in the hose.

To avoid water spillage:

As the negative pressure of condensate drain pan is large, tilt the drain hose downward toward the floor. It is appropriate that the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees.
Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose.
