This portable air conditioner has two drain ports, a higher one and a lowers one and we can use two drainage methods:
manual drainage and continuous drainage;

1. Manual Drain ：（ In Photo 14 ）
   This unit is designed with high efficient self-evaporative system and It is suggested to use manual drainage in cooling mode, all condensates will recycle in the unit to ensure enough water to recycle in the unit to cool the condenser and enhance cooling performance advance; however in extreme humidity, water tank at chassis will be full, “FL” will show on the LED display, it needs to be drained manually from lower drain port.

2. Put the tray below the water outlet at the back of the unit.

3. Screw off the drain cover; unplug the water stopper for water to flow into the tray.

4. Block the drain hole as soon as possible before the tray is full if it can’t hold all water in the unit to prevent water leakage and wetting the floor or carpet.
5. The water stopper and drain cover must be tightly installed, to avoid new condensate to wet the floor or carpet when the unit re-starts working.

Continuous drain ：(strongly recommend using this method and draining from the lower drain port under the heating mode, because the self-evaporative cooling system doesn’t work under heating mode)

1. Screw off the drain cover.
2. Connect drain-hole with φ13mm PVC drain hose, as deep as possible to avoid leakage.
3. Pull the drain hose to the bathroom or outdoor.

Notes ：

1. The drain hose must be installed before the unit starts working.
2. It is suggested to use manual drainage when the unit is in cooling mode, to ensure enough water to recycle in the unit to cool the condenser and enhance cooling performance.
3. Put the drain hose in an inaccessible place, not higher than the drainage hole, and keep the drain hose straight without any flexure.
4. Keep the drain cover and its stopper properly installed when continuous drainage is adopted.

Continuous drain in dehumidification mode: higher drain port is the best.

1. Screw off the drain cover and unplug the water stopper.
2. Connect drain-hole with φ13mm PVC drain hose, into the depth of 8mm-10mm.
3. Pull the drain hose to the bathroom or outdoor.
