Draining the Unit 

 

There are 3 different ways in which this dehumidifier can be drained: 
pump drain, manual drain and continuous gravity drain.  Please review 

the below descriptions and instructions for each method to determine 

which is best for your specific setup.  

 

 

 

This dehumidifier comes with the built in pump that will engage 

automatically to drain water into a floor drain or other suitable drainage 
port.  To setup the dehumidifier to utilize the built in pump please follow 

the instructions below. 

 

1.

 

Locate the pump drain hose and insert firmly into pump drain 
outlet on the lower left side of the back of the unit.   

2.

 

The drain hose will click into place when attached properly.   

3.

 

Place the other end of the drain hose in a floor drain or other 
suitable drainage port. 

4.

 

Operate unit in normal manner. 

5.

 

To remove pump drain line, press the release button located 

directly above the pump outlet.   

 

 

NOTE: If the pump drain hose has not been connected properly, the 
unit will not activate the pump feature. A sensor is located at the 

pump drain hose connection to detect if the hose has been properly 

connected.  There will be an audible ‘click’ that can be heard when 
inserted properly.  Once connected properly, the dehumidifier will 

automatically switch to using the drain pump. 

 

 

 

 

 

Pump Drain 

 

Note

: The pump will not be 

activated if the water bucket is 
full or not installed properly.  
Please empty the water bucket 
and re-install properly before 
using the pump drain feature.

 

Note

: The pump is capable of 

pumping water up to 16ft 
vertically or horizontally.
