2. Condensate Drainage (gravity drainage)
• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching
the unit with a water hose, a standard garden hose to the
unit. The garden hose is not supplied with the unit, but can be
purchased separately from a local hardware store.
• Push the drain hose segment onto the hose barb Adapter A
(See Fig. 10).
NOTE: Some models may not require this step.
• Remove the continuous drain plug from the outlet on the back of
the unit. (See Fig. 11).
• Remove the bucket, then insert the continuous drain hose through
the continuous drain outlet of the unit so that the threaded end of
Adapter A is facing outward from the rear of the unit. While looking
into the empty cavity of the unit where the bracket normally
resides, pull the hose until you can securely slide it onto the
connector inside the cavity where the bucket resides. (See Fig.
12).
• Tighten the Adaptor A to the rear unit securely with two screws.
• Connect one end of the garden hose to the threaded end of
Adapter A (See Fig. 13). Run the other end of the garden hose to
the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
• Make sure the hose connections are secure, so there are no
leaks.
• Ensure that there are no kinks in the hose that will stop the water
flow.
• Ensure end of the hose is level or pointed downward to let the
water flow freely by gravity.
• Place the bucket back into the unit and make sure that it is seated
properly.
• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the control
panel continuous draining to start.
