LG Portable AC - How to Drain Note The upper drain port is used in Dry mode for dehumidification. In order to drain the internal water in collection tank you need to use the bottom drain port. Using the Upper Drain Port (Dry Mode Only) This can be used when you need dehumidification in high humidity. The upper drain port is not used in the Cool or Fan mode. Remove the drain plug when using the Dry (dehumidifying) mode. Install a drain hose (16mm [5/8”] inside diameter) and place the open end of the hose over a drain or bucket or out the window. Using the Lower Drain Port Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the exhaust hose from the back, and move the air conditioner to a suitable drain location or outdoors. You may also place a pan under the drain that will hold up to 28 ounces of water. Remove the drain cap from the drain outlet. Once the water collection tank is drained, reinstall the drain cap, making sure it is on securely. Place the air conditioner in the desired location, reconnect the exhaust hose, and plug in the air conditioner. Narration Certain conditions, such as climate, settings, and usage may require you to drain the water tank. If you live in an area where the weather is very humid for extended periods, excess water may build up in the water collection tank too quickly to be recycled. In very humid weather, the tank may need to be drained often. To remind you, an "FL" indicator code will appear in the display when the water collection tank is full and needs to be drained. To drain the condensing water from the collection tank, first turn off the unit and unplug it from the wall outlet. Remove the vent hose assembly from the unit. The drain port is located on the back of the unit at the bottom. If the unit needs to be drained into a container, carefully lift the entire unit onto a firm and stable platform like a stool, high enough to empty it into a container placed under the drain plug. Make sure the container can hold at least 28 ounces of water. To begin draining, turn the drain cap counter-clockwise and remove it. Next, pull out the drain plug carefully. The water will start to drain. Remember to check and empty the container frequently to avoid overflows. Once draining is complete, remove the container and use a towel or soft cloth to dry any wet areas. You can also move the unit to a location that has a floor drain or an outside area where water can be drained. To avoid leakage, be extremely careful when moving the unit with a full water collection tank. Moving the unit with the tank full can cause the tank to overflow. As before, remove the drain plug and cap to release the water into the floor drain. The most convenient method of draining the unit is to set it on the edge of an entry door and allow it to drain directly outside. Gravity will naturally move the water from the water tank to the floor drain or container. Once draining is complete, remove the container and use a towel or soft cloth to dry any wet areas. Reinsert the drain plug fully. If the drain plug is not fully inserted and properly sealed, water will leak from the unit. Place the drain cap cover over the drain plug and turn it clockwise to screw it onto the drain port. Make sure it is securely in place. Reattach the vent hose assembly to the unit until it snaps into place. Extend and shape it into an inverted U near the vent panel as shown to help prevent any rain water from entering and collecting in the unit. Plug the unit back into a dedicated wall outlet. You are now ready to use your LG portable air conditioner.
