Cool mode is the air conditioner mode. There is no drain line needed while using the unit in Cool mode. Dry mode is used when using the unit as a dehumidifier. When using Dry mode a discharge hose (a short garden hose) will need to be attached to the "continuous drain outlet" to allow drainage of the moisture the unit is removing from the surrounding air. The hose will need to drain to an area below the "continuous drain outlet" on the unit, whether it is a floor drain or a collection pan that will have to be emptied when full. The unit does not have a pump to move the water to an elevation above the "continuous drain outlet" it is strictly a gravity fed system. You WILL NOT be able to drain out a window unless the window it below the "continuous drain outlet" in the middle of the unit. **The 4-1 Units, which this unit is NOT, include a Heat mode. During Heat mode there is a need to have a drain hose in place to drain out the window.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We are glad to help, Sparkle. If you are intending to use this unit as an air conditioner, you would put the unit in either Cool or Auto mode. Cool mode on most AC units is used to make sure your room or space feels cooler. When the unit is in Dry mode, it is meant to drain moisture from the room. According to the Use and Care Guide, in the Cool mode, the appliance must be placed close to a window or opening so that the warm exhaust air can be ducted outside.
