3. Pump Draining
The pump will push water to a drainage facility over a longer distance or vertically up to 16 feet. For
example, use the pump to remove moisture from a damp basement and empty collected water
through a hose out of a window.
• Do not use the pump drain feature if the outdoor temperature is 32° or lower.
• Make sure to remove the drain hose and adapter. Replace the rubber cap on the drain port.
• Insert the long pump drain hose (included) into the pump drain outlet in the bottom rear of the unit.
Lead the drain hose to a suitable drainage facility. Make sure that the hose is fully inserted to avoid
water leakage and that there are no kinks in the hose.
• Press the Pump button. NOTE: The water pump will engage ONLY when the reservoir is about
3/4
full.
• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit.
• When pump drain feature is not being used, remove the pump drain hose. Press down on the pump
drain outlet to release the hose. Note that water inside the hose may drip.
Care and Cleaning
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the vent and case
• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electric shock,
cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet vents get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush
to
clean.
2. Clean the reservoir
• Every few weeks, clean the reservoir to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the reservoir with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around
in the reservoir, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not clean the reservoir in a dishwasher.
3. Clean the air filter
• Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
• Remove the filter from the top of the unit (See illustration), or remove the
reservoir and then pull filter downward (See illustration).
• Wash the filter with clean water and let air dry.
• Re-install the filter and replace reservoir.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and
lint will clog it, reducing performance.
4. When Not Using Unit for Long Periods of Time
• After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the reservoir so
that any moisture trapped in the unit will drip into the reservoir.
• Clean the main unit, water reservoir and air filter.
• Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band (See illustration).
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
