CONDENSED WATER DISPOSAL OF OUTDOOR UNIT
There is holes on the base of Outdoor unit for condensed water to exhaust.
In order to flow condensed water to the drain, the unit is installed on a stand or a
block so that the unit is 100mm above the ground as shown figure. Join the drain
pipe to one hole.
Cover the drain hole with a bush. To install the bush, put it on the drain hole as
shown in the figure and press the both sides of the bush to fit into the hole.
After installation, check whether the drain pipe and bush cling to the base firmly.
Install the outdoor unit horizontally and make sure that condensate drains away.
In case of using in chilly area
Especially, in case that there are many snows by very cold in chilly area, condensed
water freezes on the base and may result not to drain. In this case, please remove
the bush and the drain pipe at the bottom of unit. (Left and center near discharge
portion of air, each 1 place). It becomes smooth drain.
Ensure that the distance from the drain hole to the ground is 250 mm or more.
