The “ Emergency Condensate Holding Tank ” icon will light up on the control panel display when the compressor turns on. The “ DRAIN HOLE ” icon will turn off when the compressor shuts off.

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. When the condensate tank is full, the unit will display “FULL” on the control panel. 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 coming 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 ap- proximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to purchase 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 con- tinuous 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 drain plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically. When the drain pan is full, screw the drain 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.
