USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

Removing Collected Water

There are 3 ways to remove collected water:
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.
NOTES: 

•   

Do not remove the bucket while the dehumidifier is operating 

or if it has just stopped operating. This might cause some 

water to drip from the drain pan.

•   

The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the 

dehumidifier to operate.

Use a hose. Water can be automatically emptied into a floor 

drain by attaching a garden water hose (not included).
1.  Remove the bucket from the front of the unit. 
2.  Open the drain cover on the side of the unit.

3.  Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle and 

ensure it is seated securely. Cut to length and lead it to the 

floor drain.

4.  Replace the bucket in the unit.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the 

dehumidifier to operate. The drain hose must run down from the 

dehumidifier to the floor drain.
Use the internal pump. Water can be automatically emptied into 

a remote location by attaching the included pump hose. 
1.  Attach the pump hose to the hose connector by pushing the 

tube fitting into the connector until it fits into place (should not 

be able to remove the hose when pulled).

2.  Position the hose discharge to the desired location.
3.  Make sure the pump is activated. To activate the pump, press 

and hold the Pump button for 3 seconds. The Pump indicator 

light will flash then remain illuminated once the 3 seconds are 

complete.  

IMPORTANT: Make sure the condensate hose is properly 

connected and is not kinked, bent or cracked as this may cause 

water to flow onto the floor. Please ensure the bucket is empty 

before putting the unit into pump mode. The bucket must also 

be fully seated for the pump to work properly. Do not operate 

the machine if the room temperature is 41°F or below. 
NOTE: Maximum lift height is 16ft.

Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.
