Please keep this manual handy for future reference.
Please note: In the summer; condensation (water)
run-off out the unit’s back is normal during cooling
operation under high humidity weather conditions. In
the winter; the unit is designed with a drain located in
the basepan to open at approximately SOT to minimize
formation of ice in the basepan during heating opera­
tion. Unit should be installed where condensation
run-off will not drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties. In addition it may be necessary to re-direct
drainage flow in the winter to prevent possible build-up
of ice on pedestrian walkways. To re-direct drainage
flow, an Accessory External Drain Kit is available.
