WARNING
Condensation Handling
Your ZoneAire
®
Portable Air Conditioner is designed to evapo-
rate the condensation removed from the interior space through
the exhaust hose. Under certain conditions it is possible that
the unit will not evaporate 100% of the removed moisture.
The unit is designed with a built-in reservoir and pump to accu-
mulate excess condensate and help dispose of it.
Internal Water Level
1. Under any mode if the water level is in the “low” area the unit
will function normally.
2. If the water level is in the “normal” area the unit will continue
to function normally with the internal recirculation pump run-
ning to evaporate the water. You may hear the pump run at
times.
3. If the water level is in the “high” area the unit will function nor-
mally and the water pump will work for 10 minutes. After that,
if the water level returns to the “low” or “normal” level the unit
will function normally. If after running 10 minutes, the water
level is still in the “high” area the machine will turn off and the
WATER FULL lamp on the control panel will illuminate. The
LCD window indicates failure code E5.
Draining Water
The water can be drained from the unit either by removing the
base stopper and letting the water drain by gravity. Or the con-
densate pump hose may be used to direct the condensate to a
drain location like a sink.
1. When the WATER FULL lamp is on unplug the unit and move
the unit to a suitable location for draining the condensation.
2. If using the gravity drain method ensure that the base stop-
per is located above a suitable area for draining the conden-
sate and remove the stopper. Re-install the stopper once all
water has drained.
If using the condensate removal pump ensure that the conden-
sate pump hose is located in a proper area for drainage. Re-
store power to the unit and press both the TIMER and SWING
buttons simultaneously and the pump will begin to run.
3. Return the unit to the original location and restore power and
duct connections.
4. The WATER FULL indicator should be off and the unit will
return to normal operating mode.
