OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Set unit upright
NOTICE:
Always store, transport, and use the unit in
a vertical position. If the unit is ever placed in a
horizontal position, return it to the vertical position
and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning
it on.
Set up drain hose
The EB280 condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose that is located in the pocket on the back
of the unit. This hose is equipped with a quick-connect
fitting for quick attachment to the provided drain hose.
Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in
a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors
– anywhere that water
can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other
receptacle for water collection, check it regularly to
prevent spills.
NOTE:
Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose.
Do not leave any of part of the hose coiled on the
unit and do not place the end of the hose higher
than 20 ft. (6 m) above the top of the unit. Also
check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict
the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water
backup in the pump resulting in leakage.
Rugged rotomolded
housing resists dents
and scratches and is
easy to maintain.
