OPERATED AS A DEHUMIDIFIER
OR FAN.
Slide "Unit Terminal
End" of the exhaust
connector completely over the "Hot Air Outlet
Grill" on the rear of the unit. Plastic grooves
are located on the hot air outlet help to guide
the exhaust connector into place.
Window Kit Mounting: Connect the window
kit adapter to the external end of the exhaust
duct. The exhaust duct is now ready to be
attached to the window kit. See page 7 for
window kit installation
Wall Mounting: Mount the external end of the
exhaust duct to a 5¼" hole within the wall.
Creating a hole into a wall is a separate
procedure that may require professional
installation.

DRAINAGE
Internal Water Bucket
When operating in cooling or dehumidifying
mode, the condensate water will drain into
the internal water bucket. Depending o17the surrounding humidity, the unit can
continuously operate for 2 to 12 hours before the internal water bucket is full. When the
internal water bucket becomes full, the red "Water Full" light located on the front of the
unit will flash. The compressor will stop, but the Fan will continue to run at the set speed.
To empty the water bucket:
a.
Turn the unit off.
b.
Remove water bucket slowly and discard
the water inside the bucket.
c.
Place the bucket back to its original position
d.
Turn the unit on
*The drain bucket may be emptied before it is full. First turn off the unit, then wait
3 minutes before removing the water bucket to prevent the condensate water from
discharging into the unit.
NOTE: If you remove the water bucket while the unit is operating in cooling or dehumidifying
mode the red "Water Full" Light will flash and the compressor will stop. Once the drain bucket is
placed back in the unit, the compressor will remain off for approximately 3 minutes before
restarting the cooling or dehumidifying
cycle.
2)
Continuous Drainage
The unit can operate on continuous drainage mode. When the unit is operating on continuous
drainage mode, condensate water will not drain into the internal water bucket. Condensate water
