Pressing this button will increase (during cooling operation) or decrease (during heating operation, applicable models) 1°F/1°C after 30 minutes. The temperature will again increase (cooling) or decrease (heating) by another 1°F/1°C after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours before returning to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed.

The SLEEP operation feature is unavailable in FAN or DRY mode.

This feature can ONLY be activated from the remote control.

Remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit and install the drain connector (5/8″ universal female mender) with 3/4″ hose (locally purchased).

For models without drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the end of the hose directly in the drain area you’re using.

For Heat Pump models, remove the middle drain plug from the back of the unit and install the drain connector (5/8″ universal female adapter) with a 3/4″ hose (not included). For models without the drain connector, attach the drain hose to the connector. Place the end of the hose in the drain area you’re using.

In Heat Pump mode, the drain hose can be elevated up to 6ft (1.8m). Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will restrict water flow. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is directed downward.

When the continuous drain hose is not used, ensure that the corresponding drain plug and knob are installed firmly to prevent leaks.

When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times. The digital display shows “P1.” At this time the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away. Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the “P1” symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.

Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug firmly to prevent leakage before using the unit.
