DIRECT DRAIN INSTRUCTIONS
DIRECT DRAIN
FEATURE
This dehumidifier is inclusive of a direct drain feature, located at the rear
of the cabinet.
NOTE:
The drain hose is not included with the unit. The
direct drain feature is intended for use in basements inclusive of a floor
drain only.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to operate the direct drain
feature using drain/stem pipes above ground level.
CONNECTING THE DIRECT DRAIN:
1)
Remove (cut away) drain cover located at the rear of
the unit (see Fig. 3) and remove the water tank located
at the front of the unit.
2)
Cut drain hose to required length (to suit your needs).
You do not need any fittings on either end of the drain
hose. Insert one end of garden hose directly into drain
opening (see Fig. 4).
3)
Push firmly onto the drain connector until it stops (see
Fig. 5).
NOTE:
This connection requires a pressure fit
application only. Make sure the hose is seated all the
way back on the drain connection nipple.
4)
Re-install the water tank, making sure the water full
light turns “off”. If the light remains on, the tank has not
been properly installed. The water tank must always be
installed inside the cabinet whenever the direct drain
option is being used.
5)
Position the dehumidifier as close as you can to the
floor drain.
6)
Position the open end of the drain hose directly over
the floor drain and start the unit.
7)
When the direct drain feature is not being used,
remove the drain hose from the direct drain nippe and
plug the Direct Drain opening (Fig. 3) with the rubber
cap provided.
