Removing the collected water

1. Pull out the bucket  a little.

2. Hold both sides of the bucket
    with even strength, and pull it 
    out from the unit.

3. Pour the water out.

There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket

    

When the unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will 

     beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the 
     digital display shows P2.
     When the unit is on,if the bucket is full, the compressor 
     turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying
     the water of the condenser, then the unit  will beep 8 
     times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital 
    display shows P2.
     Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right 
     handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so 
     water does not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor 
     because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise 
     the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
     Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The 
     bucket must  be in place and securely seated  for the 
     dehumidifier to operate.
     The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored
     in its correct position.

NOTES:

    When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts 
     inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
     Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the 
     unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to 
     push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.
     When you remove the bucket,if there is some water in
     the unit you must dry it .

CARE  AND  MAINTENANCE

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier

Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug 

from the wall outlet before cleaning.

1. Clean the Grille and Case

Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach 
or abrasives.
Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing
so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation
to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use
a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

2. Clean the bucket

Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water 
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.

NOTE:

 Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.

After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely 
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

2. Continuous draining

Water can be automatically emptied into a floor 
drain by attaching the unit with a water hose
(Id

   5/16,not included))with a female threaded 

end (ID:M=1  ,not included).

    

Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A  (See Fig.7, 

    placed in the bucket).    
    Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of 
    the unit and set aside and remove bucket,then insert 
    the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and 
    securely press it into the connector on the front of the
    unit.(See.Fig.9)
    Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws 
    (placed in the bucket).
    Install the female threaded end of the water hose into 
    the adaptor A.(See.Fig.10),then lead the water hose
    to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
    Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
    Direct the hose toward the drain,making sure that
    there are no kinks that will stop the warter flowing.
    Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure
    the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow
    smoothly.Do never let it up..
    Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure 
    that it is located correctly.
    Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed 
    on the unit for continuous draining to start..
