HowtoAttach DrainPan(Optional)

The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture

removed from the air) is drained to the outside,

In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate

water removed from the air may cause some water to _llecL To remove this excess water you can

install the drain pan as detailed below

1 Take the drain pan which is located in the air discharge,

2 Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan (for some

m_eis).

3. Install the drain pan to the right corner of the cabinet with 4 (or

2) screws.

4. Connect the drain hose of 3/5" inside diameter to the outlet

located at the bottom of the drain pan.You can purchase the

drain hose or tubing locally to satisfy your particular needs.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped

panicles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and

also causes an accumuiation of frost on the cooling coils.

1, Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet griile.(a)

in another case, you can open the inlet gdile downward by pulling out the top of the inlet gdlle.(b)

2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up or down slightly

3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40_ (104°F).(c)

4. Gently shake the ex_ss water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.

shine directly on the unit.

, The outside of the cabinet must extend

outward for at least 11" and there should

be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall,

within 20" from the back of the cabinet

because it will prevent heat radiation of the

condenser.

Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce

the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner,

Fence

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain ex_s_ to the outside

of the structure.

4. Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightiy lower than the front(about 1/2).

This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.

5. Install the unit with the bosom about 30"*_60 '' above the floor level.

[] Window Requirements(SK, 1OK Ser_s)
