on when the bucket is not installed at all or is not installed correctly. Once the water is drained, 
and the bucket is properly installed, the light will no longer illuminate and the unit will operate 
normally. 

Additional Notes About the Dehumidifier’s Behavior 

 

Once  the  unit reaches  the  desired humidity  level, the power button will remain  lit while the

outage or if unit is unplugged).

 

 

If the  unit is turned  on when  the room's  relative  humidity  is lower  than the desired humidity 
level, the unit will run for a short period  of time and  then  the compressor  and  fan will shut 
off.
