How to Secure the Drain Pipe
In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE PAN to overflow. To drain the water, remove the
DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear hole of the BASE PAN. Press the drain pipe into the
hole by pushing down and away from the fins to avoid injury.(See Fig.1)
Optional(CW3H02502C)
1. Remove the rubber plug and slide the chassis out
from the cabinet.(See Fig.2)
2. Install the drain pan over the corner of the cabinet
where you removed the plug with 4 (or 2)
screws.(See Fig.3)
3. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at the
bottom of the drain pan. You can purchase the drain
hose or tubing locally to satisfy your particular
needs. (Drain hose is not supplied).(See Fig.3)
4. Select the most appropriate connection from among
the figures to the right (by considering the hole of the
unit) to fit drain pan to your own unit.(See Fig.3)
5. Slide the chassis back into the cabinet. Reinstall the
cabinet screws. Secure the cabinet to chassis by
using screws. (See Fig.4)
