Removing the collected water
2. Continuous draining
● Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by
attaching the unit with a water hose(not included).
● Remove the rubber plug from the back drain hose outlet.
Attach a drain hose(ID=13.5mm) and lead it to the floor drain
or a suitable drainage facility(see Fig.7).
● Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
● Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no
kinks that will stop the warter flowing.
● Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end
of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly. Do
never let it up.
● Make sure the water hose is lower than the drain hose outlet.
● Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit
for continuous draining to start.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used,
remove the drain hose from the outlet and reinstall the rubber
plug.

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from
the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grille and Case
● Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or
abrasives.
● Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may
cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate,
or cause the unit to rust.
● The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
