OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 8) Bucket Full - When the water bucket is full of water, the unit will automatically shut off, make a beeping noise, and the Bucket Full Indicator will light up. The dehumidifier will not function until the water bucket is emptied and placed back inside the unit. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once clean, completely dry the bucket and place it back inside the dehumidifier.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 10) Internal Pump Mode- The internal pump allows the unit to operate without having to empty the bucket. To install the Pump Drain Hose Kit, remove the drain cap on the back of the unit. Insert the included gasket into the Drain Adapter, then force the Drain Hose onto the Drain Adapter and turn clockwise onto the garden hose nozzle on the back of the unit as pictured below.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE Garden Hose Installation Setup Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose (not included).
CHOOSING A LOCATION A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. • • • • • • • • • Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
