NOTE: Hold bucket with both hands when emptying.
NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the machine, the compressor will turn off, but the fan will continue to
run for a few minutes. This is completely normal. The dehumidifier will not be removing moisture from the air at this
time.
NOTE: When removing moisture from the air, the dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the side exhaust vent.
NOTE: Do not place a full bucket on the floor, because the bottom is uneven.
7) Clean Filter- When the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter indicator will light up (after 250 hours of use). Remove the
filter from the back of the unit by using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. Clean the

9) Child-Lock Mode-To lock the control panel, press and hold the TIMER button for3 seconds.
Locking the control panel prevents someone from accidentally changing the settings. When locked the LOCK Indicator will
light up. Press and hold the TIMER button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in
drying out 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 use only.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough
to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
•Allow at least 12”-18” of airflow on all sides.
•Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not
fall below 41°F(5°C). The coils can become covered with frost at
temperatures below 41°F(5°C), which may reduce performance.
•Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas
that have excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a 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.
•The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
•Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to 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. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically
restart and dehumidification will resume.
CONTINUOUS MODE-GARDEN HOSE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier.
This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water
bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose (not included). The thread standard for garden hoses in the US
and its territories is known as GHT or garden hose thread" which has an outer diameter of 1 1/16 inches (1.0625 inches
or27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11 5 TPI.

•Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
•Unscrew the cap on the back of the unit to access the garden hose nozzle
•Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the accessible nozzle, lead to a floor drain and cut to length. Make sure that
there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose. (See picture below) Turn on the unit and press the MODE button until set
to CONTINUOUS.
Garden Hose Installation Reference Guide
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Placing the dehumidifier on an uneven surface or improper hose installation may result in water filling up the bucket and
causing the unit to shut off. Empty bucket if shutoff occurs, then check dehumidifier location and hose for proper setup.
The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, review this list. lt may save you some time and expense. This list includes common
occurrences that are not the result of a defect in workmanship or materials.
Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
Dehumidifier does
not start
•The dehumidifier is unplugged.
•Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
•The fuse is blown /circuit
breaker is tripped.
•Check the house fuse / circuit breaker box and
replace fuse or reset breaker.
•Dehumidifier has reached its
present level or the bucket is full.
•The dehumidifier automatically turns off when
either condition occurs. Change to a lower setting
or empty the water bucket and replace properly.
•Bucket is not in the proper position.
•The bucket must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidifier to operate.
•Power Failure.
•There is a protective time delay (up to 3 min.) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For
this reason, the unit may not start normal
dehumidification for 3 min. after it is powered
back on.
Dehumidifier does
not dry the air as it
should
•Not enough time allowed for unit to
remove moisture.
•When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to
maintain the desired dryness.
•Airflow is restricted.
•Make sure there are no curtains, blinds ,or
furniture blocking the front or back of the
dehumidifier. See the CHOOSING A LOCATION
section.
•Dirty filter.
•Seethe CLEAN FILTER section.
•The Humidity Control may not be set
low enough.
•For drier air, press the "∨" button to lower the
percent humidity desired in the room, or set the
dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification.
Doors and windows may not be closed
tightly.
•Check that all doors, windows, and other
openings are securely closed.
•Clothes dryer may be blowing moist
air into the room.
•Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer.
The dryer should be vented outside.
•Room temperature is too low.
•Moisture removal is best at higher room
temperatures. Lower room temperatures will
reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is
designed to operate at temperatures above 41 °
F(5°C).
Dehumidifier runs
too much
•The area to be dehumidified is too
large.
•The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be
