Removing Collected Water
There are 3 ways to remove collected water:
– Use the bucket
– Use a garden hose
– Use the internal pump (on some models)
Use the bucket.
When the bucket is removed, the unit will
shut off. Empty and replace the bucket.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the hose if using the bucket to
collect water. When the hose is connected, water will flow
through it onto the floor instead of into the bucket.

TING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Dehumidifier
Choosing a Location
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no
effect in drying 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 residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for
commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or above 90°F (32°C). The
coils can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F, which may reduce performance.
• The suggested range of relative humidity is between 40%
and 50%
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry and dishwashing
areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes
dryer.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to
be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to
the room.
NOTE:
The dehumidifier has casters to aid placement, but
it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not
attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects.
Water Level
The dehumidifier will turn off automatically when the
bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not
replaced in the proper position.
The bucket must be replaced in the proper position for
the dehumidifier to work. The empty indiator will blink
and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket is not in the
proper position.
Bucket Operation
DO NOT remove the float or magnet in the bucket
assembly. If removed the Dehumidifier will not work
properly.
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.
