OPERATING THE UNIT
Condensate Removal
There are several ways to remove collected condensate.
1 By emptying the bucket each time it’s full.
2. By continuously draining through a hose into a drain.
3. By pumping water out of the bucket through a hose into a drain
(pump only models).
NOTES:
• When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit.
Doing so may damage the product or cause injury.
• Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way back into the unit.
• If the pump suction line drops down when you remove the bucket (See Fig.
6), you must push the pump’s suction line back up toward the top of the
cavity where the bucket resides before replacing the bucket (See Fig. 7).
• When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose
from the outlet and reinstall the plug.
• When the pump feature is not being used, remove the pump drain hose.
• The bucket has a float switch inside, which is a plastic part with styrofoam in
it. Be sure this is also in it’s proper position upon reinstalling the bucket.
1. Condensate Collection Bucket
• The dehumidifier will alert you when it is time to empty the bucket.
• If the bucket is full when the unit is off and you attempt to turn it on, the
unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the display
will show the P2 error code.
• When the unit is operating and the bucket becomes full, the
compressor turns off 30 seconds later the fan turns off. The unit will
beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the display will show
the P2 error code.
• Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the handles securely, and carefully pull
the bucket straight out of the unit so the water does not spill. Do not
set the bucket on the floor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven,
which may cause the bucket to tip and the water to spill. (Fig. 8).
• Discard the water and replace the bucket in to the unit. (Fig. 9). The
bucket must be securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. If the
bucket is not properly installed a P2 or Eb error code will display on the
control panel.
• The dehumidifier will re-start when the bucket is restored to its correct position.
