      To drain the overfilled water tank after each use: 1. Connect one connecting tube to the right quick coupling connector. 2. Connect the special male connector to the water-out connecting tube (the gray end if using the 2x3 Way Connecting Water Hoses). 3. Turn the CritiCool® device ON. 4. Select Empty mode in Services. 5. Prepare to allow the excess water to drain into a receptacle, pail or sink. 6. Water should begin once Start has been pressed. If it does not, exit from Empty mode, disconnect the special male connector from the current connecting tube, connect it to the other connecting tube instead, then rebegin. 7. A message will appear when the water tank is empty, at which point CritiCool® system can be powered down.
