The dehumidifier can be drained manually using the water bucket. When
the bucket is full, the unit will automatically stop running, and the Bucket
Full light will illuminate. Follow the below steps to remove the bucket and
dump the water.
1.
Slowly and carefully pull the bucket out by the handles and lift
upward to remove.
2.
Use both hands to carefully empty the water bucket.
3.
Reinstall Bucket. Please note that this unit is designed to not
operate if the water bucket has not been installed properly.
Additional notes when emptying the water bucket.
-
Do not place the bucket on the floor as its bottom is uneven and will not
stand upright on its own.
-
There is a carrying handle located inside the water bucket that can be
used as needed for carrying the water bucket.
The dehumidifier can be drained continuously to a suitable floor drain by
using the gravity drain port. In order to utilize the continuous gravity drain
you will need to supply a suitable drain hose. You may use a standard
garden hose with a ¾” connector fitting.
1.
Locate the gravity drain hose port found on the back of the unit
(located on the middle, right hand side)
2.
Unscrew the drain cover by turning counter clockwise and remove
the rubber stopper.
3.
Screw the drain hose onto the threaded portion of the drain outlet
and tighten firmly.
4.
Place the other end of the drain hose in a floor drain or other
suitable drainage port. Drain must be located below the level of
the drain outlet on the back of the unit to allow for proper gravity
drainage.

order to prevent leaks.
