Removing Collected Water

There are 2 ways to remove collected water:

Use the bucket.

When the bucket is full, 

the 

WATER FULL

indicator blinks and the

unit beeps 3 times and stops. Wait  a few
minutes before removing the bucket to
allow the water to stop dripping. 

To remove:

Tilt the bucket forward then 

lift carefully. After emptying, clean and
replace it.

Use a hose.

Water can be automatically 

emptied into a drain by attaching a length 
of thin-wall rubber or plastic tubing with an
inside diameter of 1/2 inch. Use a screwdriver
to remove the knockout at the back. Attach
the tubing to the connector through the hole.
The tubing should lead to the drain with no
sharp bends.

Cleaning the Grille and Case

Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug
from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Use water and a mild detergent to clean the inlet
and outlet grilles. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

Air filter

NOTE: 

The charcoal filter has been packed separately, in the

bucket, in the front of the unit. Remove the wrap and insert it
in the filter frame with the darker surface up.

The air filter is on the back of the dehumidifier. 
It should be checked and cleaned at least every 
2 to 3 weeks or more often if necessary.

To remove:

Turn the dehumidifier off and lift out

the filter on the back of the unit.

Vacuum the nylon filter or wash with water. 
Make sure it is dry before replacing it.

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 
3 to 6 months or when the inside surface has
changed from white to a dark color.

Call 800-626-2002 to order a replacement.
