Water Drainage - Black & Decker BPT05WTBA Instruction Manual

SET UP & USE

Draining in Cooling Mode.

This air conditioner is equipped with auto water evaporation so the water

compartment would not typically fill in cooling mode unless there is high

humidity. Water drainage will generally only be required at the end of the season

(see START-END OF SEASON OPERATIONS in cooling mode.)

NOTE: As a safety measure to positively prevent water spillage the air

conditioner is equipped with a fail safe device if the water tank fills. The

unit will completely stop, the control panel displays

compressor and fan will not restart until the tank has been drained.

Intermittent Draining in Cooling Mode.

• Unplug the unit from the power source. Carefully move the unit to a drain area

over your basement floor or drip pan (not included). Remove the bottom drain

cap.

• Let the water drain away and replace the drain

cap. Restart the machine until

disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.

NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.

Continuous Draining for Cooling Mode

• Unplug the unit from the power source. Remove the bottom drain cap. While

doing this operation some residual water may spill so have a drip pan (not

supplied) to collect the water.

• Connect the drain hose (supplied) as shown in the diagram. The water can be

continuously drained through the hose into a floor drain or drip tray.
