Everstar portable air conditioner MPM-08CR-BB4 water drainage issue

Question

I just received this portable air conditioner from a friend, and they no longer have the manual. It has a really nice little drain pan on the side, but I can't figure out how to use it. There are two hoses that come out of the unit (continuous drain hose, and idle drain hose). The continuous drain hose is extremely two long for the drain pan, and both hoses are no where near where it seems the hoses should go for the drain pan, and they both have little black plugs in the end, so neither of them are draining anything. What do I do with them and where do they go?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Here is the info from the manual for continuous drain.  Note that this drain method requires a floor drain (assumed to be in your basement).  It has no ability to pump the fluid up to a higher level so that it can drain out a window or into a sink.

5) This unit also has provisions for a continuous
"drain" option (for basement applications having
a floor drain). The required drain hose extension
is not included with this unit. It can be purchased
through any local Hardware Store. Drain Hose
Specifications: Standard garden hose.

6) To connect the continuous drain option. Remove
the water tank from the cabinet. Inside the
cabinet (water tank area) you will find a section of
hose hanging beside the water tank, which is
at the end. Remove the
from the end of the hose and install the
(included with this unit) into the
end of this hose section. Route the end of the
hose (with drain connection) into the water tank,
then through the hole provided in the face of the
water tank. Attach a section of (to
suit your continuous drain option requirements)
to the drain hose connector. Place the open end
of the hose directly over the drain area in your
basement floor. Fig.19.
Please make sure the drain hose
section routed through water tank does not interfere
with the correct positioning of the water tank inside
the cabinet, or the will
be activated, not allowing the unit to operate.
7) You must remember to the continuous
drain option procedure the
(unplugged) inside the water tank,
when re-locating your unit to a location(room)
where continuous draining is not possible.

Answer 3

Guest 9135 is not asking about the exhaust hose for the back of the unit. I think we both have the same problem. The manual says you can have continious drainage, and there is 2 hoses inside the water tray, One is marked " Idle " one is continious. How do we make this all work if I wanted it continious. Do I have to put the water tray back or is there a setting that I need to do.
