NOTE:
When installing the pump hose, the unit must be running in PUMP
MODE. Water is pumped a maximum of 16 vertical feet. Do not exceed 16
feet for proper operation.
There is a small backup water tank inside the dehumidifier. When using
PUMP mode the backup water tank fills up and then water is pumped out of
the dehumidifier when full.
When the unit is not in use for an extended time, it is necessary to drain any
excess water from the backup tank.
DRAINING EXCESS WATER IN BACKUP TANK:
1. Remove the bucket from the dehumidifier
2. Locate a small pan or bowl to collect the water (not supplied).
3. Pull the plug from the backup tank and allow the water to drain into the
pan or bowl.
USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
NOTE
: When using continuous drainage option, make sure the garden hose is clear of
any obstructions and drains downward. Improper installation or use of hose may result in
water filling up the bucket and causing the unit to shut off. Empty the water bucket if shut
off occurs due to bucket full condition.

Step 2:
Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the drain nozzle. (Fig. 5)
The thread standard for garden hoses in the US and its territories is known
as GHT or "garden hose thread" which has an outer diameter of 1 1/16 in.
(1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.
WATER DISPOSING OPTIONS
Step 3:
Remove the drain cover from the back of the bucket prior to seating
the bucket in the unit. (Fig. 6)
Step 4:
Properly insert the bucket into the dehumidifier and thread the hose
through the opening left by removing the drain cover. Make sure the hose
declines down from the unit and there are no kinks. (Fig. 7)

NOTE
: When removing the drain hose, excess water may spill from the
dehumidifier. Use a small pan or bowl to catch the water and prevent it
from spilling onto the unit or the floor.
