WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS
2. CONTINUOUS / GRAVITY DRAIN METHOD
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the 20” continuous/gravity drain hose to the con-
tinuous/gravity drain outlet. To use gravity to drain your portable dehumidifier, it must be installed on a level surface
or at least 12 inches above the ground, on a sturdy table or shelf unit. When using the function of continuous/
gravity drainage, your drain hose must be placed horizontally below the drainage hole. Avoid uneven ground and
folding the hose.
NOTE: When using continuous/gravity drainage setup, there may be some water collected in the water in the drain
bucket
1. Remove the continuous drain cover and then attach the 20” con-
tinuous/gravity drain hose. Make sure the hose is securely fastened
to prevent leakage.
2. Direct the drain hose toward a drain or other suitable drainage
outlet. Make sure that there are no distortions with the hose that may
stop the water flow. (See Fig. 7)
3.
Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for
continuous draining to start.
3. WATER PUMP METHOD
One of the key features of this dehumidifier is that it has a water pump that pushes water up or over a longer dis-
tance. Using this feature will enable your unit to run maintenance free.
NOTE: The water pump will ONLY engage when the drain bucket is full.
NOTE: The Pump Indicator Light will flash when there is a failure in the
pump operation. Please turn off the unit and unplug the power cord and
check the following points:
•
Clean the pump filter - remove the drain bucket from the unit, pull down
the pump filter, and clean (See Fig. 9)
• Check the pump drain hose for kinks or obstructions
• Reinstall the pump filter and drain bucket properly. Turn on the unit. If
the error repeats, call for service
• Do not use this operation when the outdoor temperature is equal to or
less than 32°F. Otherwise, water hose may be blocked as the water will
turn to ice and cause the unit to fail. When the pump drain feature is not
being used, remove the pump drain hose from the outlet.
1. Make sure the continuous/gravity drain assembly is removed from
the continuous/gravity drain outlet and the plastic cover is installed.
2. Insert the 16 ft. pump drain hose (included) into the bottom pump
drain outlet (See Fig. 8), then lead the drain hose to a suitable drain-
age facility. Make sure that the hose is fully inserted to avoid water
leakage and no kinks which will cause the water to stop flowing.
3. Press the Pump button to activate the pump operation.
NOTE: The water pump will ONLY engage when the drain bucket is
full.
4. The water pump may make some noise when it starts to work with-
in the first 3 - 5 minutes. This is a part of the unit’s normal operation.
5. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit.
