Do I need to drain the water?Updated a year ago
If it is in a humid area, you might need to remove the collected water from the portable air conditioner. There are two drainage methods, manual drainage or continuous drainage. The drainage hose needs to be installed first.
Method A: Manual Drainage
When the chassis is full of water, the buzzer will beep eight times, and the display panel will show an H8 malfunction code to remind you to drain the water. You will need to move the unit to a suitable place for discharging water. The machine won't run unless you empty the collected water.
Method B: Continuous Drainage
You can drain water into a floor drain by attaching a ½ inch diameter hose(included). When using the continuous drainage option, make sure that the air conditioner is on a flat, level surface, and that the drain hose is directed downwards and clear of any obstructions. Here, the machine will continue to run, and you need not drain the water manually.
