How to Attach Drain Pan

The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moistureremoved from the air) is drained to the outside.

In very hurnid weether, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mo_) excessive condensatewater removed from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as detailed below.

CABINET 1. Take the drain pan which is tocated in the air discharge.

2. Removethe hole rubber from the base-pan (forsome models).

3. Instatlthe drain pan to the right corner of the cabinet with 4 (or 2) screws.

Air FilterCleaning

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

Trapped particles in the fi_ter wifl build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet gri_te.(a) tn another case, you can open the inlet grilte downward by pulling out the top of the inlet gdHe.(b)

2. Remove the air fi_ter from the fi'ont grille assembty by pL_lling the air filter up or down slightly.

3. Wash the filter using _ukewarm water below 40°C (104 °F).(c)

4 Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely.
