Emergency Condensate Holding Tank
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to
evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an emergency
condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automatically shut
off and the “ ” will appear on the control panel display. To empty the condensate tank, unscrew the screw
plug at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1” high to catch the water com-
ing out of the condensate tank. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few
minutes. The emergency condensate tank holds approximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to pur-
chase a small hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 5/8” drain plug on the back of the unit and
drain the unit into a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage.
To resume operation quickly, empty the water container according to the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off. Do not move the unit when the water container is full.
2. Place the drain pan accessory under the drainage port at the back of the unit.
3. Remove the screw plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically. When the
drain pan is full, screw the screw plug back onto the drainage hole to stop the water flow. Empty the drain
pan. Repeat until all the water is emptied.
Once the water container has been emptied, screw the plug back onto the drain hole. Do not allow the
water to drip continuously into the drain pan, as it might easily overflow.
