PUMP DRAINAGE
Water can be automatically emptied into a drain by connecting the unit pump to
a 1/4” hose (included). Follow these instructions carefully:
• Ensure the plastic drain cap is placed on the back of the unit and screwed
in tightly.
• Insert the pump drain hose (found in a bag alongside the unit) into the
pump drain hose outlet. Push the hose onto the outlet a minimum of
3/4” for a secure fit.
• Press the pump button on the unit to activate the pumping function.
When the reservoir is full, the pump will operate for 3-5 minutes and
remove water from the top of the reservoir. Note that the pump may
produce a loud noise—this is normal. Also note that it does not empty the
reservoir completely.
• Make sure the hose is secure attached to the dehumidifier so there are
no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no
kinks that will stop the water flow. Place the end of the hose into or over a
drain and make sure the end of the hose is level or down to let the water
flow smoothly. The pump is powerful enough to allow an upward travel
up to 16 feet before reaching the drain, if necessary.
• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit to com-
mence pump draining.
IMPORTANT: To clean the pump hose filter, remove the reservoir from
the unit and manually pull the pump hose filter down and carefully
remove it.. Clean the filter (as shown in Figure I) using warm water. When
re-inserting the pump filter, ensure that the pump drain hose does not
kink. Re-insert the reservoir and resume operation.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the pump in near-freezing environments as
this can cause permanent damage to your unit!
IMPORTANT: The reservoir must always be in place for the unit to oper-
ate -- even when using the Pump Drainage mode.
