Black and decker 10000 btu portable air conditioner manual

How often do you drain a Black and Decker portable air conditioner?

It depends on the humidity condition at your place. In general, portable air conditioners should be drained after every 8 hours.

Do I need to drain water from my portable air conditioner?

Yes. All portable AC units accumulate moisture and need to be drained regularly. AC units both cool and reduce humidity. Gathered water needs to be drained.

Should I remove the drain plug from my portable air conditioner?

In most cases, your portable air conditioner will not need to be drained. Edgestar, Avallon and Koldfront portable air conditioners use a condensation exhaust system to expel water vapor collected during the dehumidifying/cooling process. This moisture is released through the exhaust hose along with hot exhaust air.

Why is my portable AC running but not cooling?

If your AC is blowing cold air out of the top vent, but your room still isn't getting cold, your room is probably too hot or too large for the heat capacity of your air conditioner. Remember that portable air conditioners can only cool the room size they're advertised for in moderate outdoor heat.
