            1. Defrosted water will drain down the drain hole at the bottom; simply pull out the rubber cork.

2. To avoid flooding the floor, connect the drain hose to the drainage.

3. Place a cap on the drain hole if the product is installed in an area that is cleaned with water.

Make sure to close the cork after draining. (It may affect freezing and cooling)
