(Fig.1) Clean the inside of bucket every week
using mild detergent in order to block buildup
of mold and bacteria. (Fig.2)
After cleaning, replace the bucket cover
and slide the bucket into the unit. (Fig.3)

WATER DISPOSING OPTIONS
OPTION 1, EMPTYING MANUALLY
1. Pull out the bucket, grasping upper and lower
handles.
2. Carry the bucket by grasping the inside handle
of the bucket.
3. After emptying the bucket, replace the bucket in
the dehumidifier.
NOTE: Dehumidifier will not work when the BUCKET
FULL light is on or without the bucket properly placed
in the unit.
OPTION 3, PUMP DRAIN
1. Remove the PUMP DRAIN CAP by turning
clockwise (Reverse thread). (Fig.1)
2. Remove the drain-hole GREY RUBBER PLUG by
pulling out while pressing in on the coupler. (Fig.2)
Keep the DRAIN CAP and PLUG for future use.
3. Feed the 1/4-inch hose provided through the hole
in the DRAIN CAP. (Fig.3)
4. Insert the end of hose into the drain hole (Fig.4),
then screw DRAIN CAP back onto the unit. Place
the other end of the hose in the location you want
the water to go: to a floor drain, a water container,
or through a basement window to the outdoors.
(Pump can lift water up to 15 feet above the unit.)
Check hose for kinks or other obstruction. Make
sure end of hose will not be submerged in water
as this may cause a backflow into the unit and
cause a leak.
OPTION 2, GRAVITY DRAIN HOSE
(Garden Hose Not Provided)
1. Take off GRAVITY DRAIN CAP by turning the
cap counterclockwise. (Fig.1)
2. Remove DRAIN CONNECTOR from the bucket.
(Fig.2)
3. Next, screw the DRAIN CONNECTOR to a
standard garden hose by turning clockwise.
(Fig.3)
4. Reattach the DRAIN CONNECTOR end of
garden hose to the dehumidifier (Fig.4) then
check hose for kinks or obstructions. The position
of the hose at the floor drain must be lower than
DRAIN CONNECTOR.
5. Keep the DRAIN CAP for future use when
emptying bucket manually.

5. In the unlikely event the hose comes loose during
pump operation due to vibration, re-attach hose
to continue automatic pump removal of water.
CAUTION: Do not remove the bucket while
the pump is operating. This will cause the dehumidifier
to stop operating and result in an “E3” error message.
ALSO: The pump drain hose should not be both
under water AND at a height that is above the
dehumidifier. This can cause a “back flow” to the
dehumidifier and cause the dehumidifier to stop
working resulting in an “E3” error message. Following
an “E3”error, the unit must be unplugged and reset
to operate. (See Error Code section of this manual.)
