Once the bucket is emptied, replace it as normal into the dehumidifier.
Option 2: Hose Drainage 1. Please note that a garden hose is not included in the box, so you will need to supply your own. The hose should have a thread with an outer diameter of 1-1/16" (2.7cm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI. 2. Remove the bucket from the unit as described in Option 1. 3. Inside the compartment where the bucket sits, you will find a nozzle with threading.

To remove the plug, you must first press the grey o-ring all the way in (figure 1), and then gently remove the plastic plug (figure 2).

You must press the grey o-ring in to remove the plug. Figure 1 2.
