Draining Water
During cooling and dehumidification, water condensate will collect inside the unit. The unit has two drain outlets:
- Continuous Drain Outlet: For continuous drainage, connect the included water pipe to this outlet and direct it to a floor drain or suitable container.
- Bottom Tray Drain Outlet: For manual drainage, when the internal water tank is full, the unit may stop operating and display an error. Place a shallow pan under this outlet, remove the drain plug, and allow the water to drain completely. Reinsert the plug securely.
