ENGLISH
USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coil
and drains into a bucket (or through a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is
heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor
will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost
disappears.
Choosing a Location
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no
effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a
closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of
the area.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for
commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit
for good air circulation.
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or above 90°F (32°C). The coils
can become covered with frost at temperatures below
41°F, which may reduce performance.
• The suggested range of relative humidity is between 40%
and 50%
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry and dishwashing
areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to
be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the
room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly warmer
as the dehumidifier operates.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
NOTE: The dehumidifier has casters to aid placement, but
it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not
attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects.

USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on 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).
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.
ENGLISH
1. Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.
2. Open the drain cover on the side of the unit.

To Install Hose: Push in hose and gently pull to make sure it is
secure. Should not be able to be removed. You should hear a
“click” that lets you know the hose is inserted correctly.
Insert
To Release Hose: Press the blue button on top of the connector

Water Level
The dehumidifier will turn off automatically when the bucket
is full, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the
proper position.
NOTE: DO NOT kink or crimp hose, as it can block water flow.
The bucket must be replaced in the proper position for the
dehumidifier to work. The light will be on and the dehumidifier
will not run if the bucket is not in the proper position.
Bucket Operation
DO NOT remove the foam piece and magnet block in
the bucket assembly. If removed, the Dehumidifier will
not work properly.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
