Removing the collected water
1. Pull out the bucket a little.
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
with even strength, and pull it
out from the unit.
3. Pour the water out.
There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket
When the unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will
beep 8 times and the Full Water indicator light will flash.
When the unit is on,if the bucket is full, the compressor
turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying
the water of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8
times and the Full Water indicator light will flash.
Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right
handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so
water does not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor
because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise
the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The
bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored
in its correct position.
NOTES:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts
inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the
unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to
push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.
When you remove the bucket,if there is some water in
the unit you must dry it .

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grille 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 electrical shock, cause the insulation
to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use
a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTE:
Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.
After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
2. Continuous draining
Fig.7
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature
is not being used,remove the drain hose
from the outlet.
Attach the hose
to the drain
hose outlet.
Remove the
rubber plug
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor
drain by attaching the unit with a water hose
(not included).
Remove the rubber plug from the back drain
hose outlet. Attach a drain hose(ID=15mm)
and lead it to the floor drain or a suitable
drainage facility(see Fig.7).
Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
Direct the hose toward the drain,making sure that
there are no kinks that will stop the warter flowing.
Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure
the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow
smoothly.Do never let it up.
Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed
on the unit for continuous draining to start.

Fig. 10
The air filter behind the front grille should be
checked and cleaned at least every 30 days
or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE
FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
Grip the tab on the filter and pull it outward, then
pull it up as shown in Fig.8.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the
filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
Insert the air filter into the unit from underside to
upside. See Fig.10.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without
a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and
reduce performance.
