WATER REMOVAL
There are three ways to remove collected water
from the appliance.
1. Water Bucket
The dehumidifi er will automatically collect
condensed water in the water bucket. When the
bucket is full, the compressor and fan will turn off
and the full bucket indicator light will turn on. The
display will show “P2”.
To empty the bucket, gently remove it from the
appliance by gripping both sides and pulling
outward. Be cautious when removing the bucket, it
will be full and can be heavy.
Do not place the water bucket directly on the fl oor.
The bottom of the bucket is uneven and it will fall
over and spill water.
Empty the bucket and replace it in the appliance.
The dehumidifi er will not function without the bucket
installed.
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water
level fl oat system. Proper installation of the water
bucket is crucial in maintaining reliable operation.
Note:
When removing the bucket, the pump arm
for the drain pump may fall down. It must be gently
pushed upward back into the correct position before
replacing the bucket.
2. Continuous Drain
Water can be removed using the provided
connector and drain hose.
Before using any automatic drain functions,
check that all drain ports are clean. There is one
drain port inside the bucket compartment of the
appliance, remove the bucket to see it. There is
one drain port on the back of the appliance where
the drain hose attaches. All drain ports should be
cleaned with a pipe cleaner prior to use.
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet
and attach the provided connector and drain hose
to the back of the appliance. Direct the other end of
the drain hose to a bucket or fl oor drain.
Ensure that the drain hose is not bent and goes
straight down from the back of the appliance. The
continuous drain is only activated by gravity so any
bends or upward motion in the hose will stop the
water from draining.
The drain hose is 2 m (6.6 feet) long. Do not
connect this drain hose together with any other
hose. If the drain hose is too long water may not
drain completely which can lead to stagnant water
and mildew build up inside the hose.
Notes:
• Do not clean the drain ports with anything more
rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the
appliance.
• If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can
cause water to leak from the bottom of the
appliance.
• There is no drain pump in this appliance. The
continuous drain is fed by gravity alone.
