Operating The Unit
(continued)
Removing the collected water: 2 options
OPTION #1: Use the bucket
• If the bucket is full when the unit is OFF, the full indicator light will illuminate.
• If the bucket is full when the unit is ON, the compressor will turn off followed
by the fan 30 seconds later. The full indicator light will flash and the digital
display will show P2.
• 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. The bucket will fall and
cause the water to spill.
• Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in place
securely for the dehumidifier to operate. (Do not drink the water.)
• The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.
The unit will take 3 minutes to restart.
OPTION #2: Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a garden
hose or dehumidifier drain hose (ID≥Φ5/16") to the dehumidifier. (Hose must
have a female threaded end with ID: M=1. Hose not included.)
• Unscrew the plastic cover from the drain outlet on the back of the unit by
turning the plastic cover counter-clockwise.
• If there is water in the continuous drain outlet, dry it thoroughly before
connecting the hose.
• Attach the female threaded end of the garden/dehumidifier drain hose to the
drain hose outlet, then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable
drainage facility.
• A hose length of no more than 6 ft. is recommended as the hose must allow
the water to continuously travel downward into the drain.
• Make sure the hose is secure to avoid leakage.
• Direct the hose down toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks
that will stop the water flow.
• 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.
Never let drain hose go
upward against gravity.
• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for continuous
draining to start.
NOTES:
• Continuous mode and continuous draining are different. You do not need to
be on Continuous mode to do continuous draining. See pg. 5 for additional
information about Continuous mode.
• When the continuous draining feature is not being used, remove the drain
hose from the drain hose outlet and dry any water in the drain hose outlet;
then secure the plastic cover onto the continuous drain outlet. Failure
to secure the plastic cover onto the drain hose outlet can result in unit
malfunction, leaking, and/or possible error codes.
