WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS
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.15).
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.
NOTE: Do not use this operation when the outdoor temper-
ature 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 assem-
bly 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.14),
then lead the drain hose to a suitable drainage
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 within 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.
