OPERATING THE UNIT
When Using The Unit
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.
This unit is designed to operate with a working environment between 5 C(41 F) and 35 C(95 F).
If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximately
three minutes for the correct operation to resume.
Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet, which is also being used for other electrical appliances.
Select a suitable location, make sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
Plug the unit into a 115V~ 60Hz properly grounded electrical outlet.
Make sure the Water bucket is correctly placed otherwise the unit will not operate properly.
Casters
Do not force casters to move over carpet,
nor move the unit with water in the bucket.
(The unit may tip over and spill water.)
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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Removing The Collected Water 1. Pull out the bucket a little.
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
securely, and pull it out from
the unit.
3. Pour the water out.
There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use The Bucket
When the bucket is full, the unit will automatically stop
running, and the Full indicator light will flash.
Slowly pull out the bucket. Hold left and right handles
securely, and carefully pull out straight so water will
not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor because the
bottom of the bucket is not flat. Otherwise the bucket
will fall and cause the water to spill.
Pour the water and replace the bucket.The bucket
must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
The unit will restart when the bucket is replaced
in proper position.
NOTE:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts
inside the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the
unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to
push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being
used, remove the drain hose from the connector and
attach the back drain hole with the rubber plug.
Remove the water bucket from the front of the unit, you will
find a section of hose located above the bucket.
Remove the rubber plug from the back of the unit(see Fig.8).
Insert the drain hose through the hole in the back of the unit
and securely press it onto the connector on the front of the
unit(see Fig.9). Then lead the drain hose to the floor drain or
a suitable drainage facility.
Replace the bucket in the unit. The bucket must be in place
and securely seated.
