TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Not all of the listed issues are indicative of a full device malfunction, but this should serve as a guide to help
you identify the causes and possible remedies of any major/minor problems that you might experience. We also
address occurrences that may seem problematic but are actually part of the normal dehumidifying process.
Error Codes and Protection Codes
General Troubleshooting
Option 2: Hose Drainage
1. Please note that a garden hose is not included in the box, so you will need to supply
your own. The hose should have a thread with an outer diameter of 1-1/16" (2.7cm)
and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.
2. Remove the bucket from the unit as described in Option 1.
3. Attach the small end of the drain hose adapter to the wide end of the drain hose.
4. Remove the cover from the drain hose outlet. Then lead the hose through drain
hose outlet and into the dehumidifier, and attach the end to the drain connector.
5. Attach a garden hose (not included) to the end of the adapter.
6. Replace the water bucket. Make sure that the drainage hose you have
installed passes through the bucket’s drain hole and is aimed downward.
Feed the other end of the hose into a floor drain and then cover the hole with
a lid so the water will run straight into the drain and not spill. Please note that
the hose should not be pressed, twisted, or run up an incline, or else the water
will not drain properly.

Power Troubleshooting
Symptom
Symptom
Possible Causes
Possible Causes
The dehumidifying eect seems to be minimal or
non-existent.
Room temperature is too low.
Humidity level may be set incorrectly, or set too
high.
If the dehumidifier is operating in a room where the
temperature falls between 41° – 59°F (5° – 15°C), it
will start to automatically defrost itself. During this
time, the compressor will stop working, although
the fan will continue operating at the highest fan
speed setting. Once it finishes defrosting itself, it
will resume normal operation.
Upon first operation, air emitted from the device
has a stale/musty odor.
This particular odor is usually caused by the initial
rise in temperature of the heat exchanger (a
necessary part of the dehumidifying process). This
is also common when the device has been in
storage for a period of time.
Unit makes whirring/clanking noises. This is normal if the device is being operated on a
hard or wooden floor.
The dehumidifier makes a whooshing noise. This is normal. The sound is created by the
refrigerant flowing.
Symptoms Possible Causes Probable Solution
Power cable is plugged
in but power indicator
light is not illuminated.
There is no power coming
from the power supply, or
the plug is not fully
inserted.
Check if you have lost power in other parts of
your home. If so, call your electric provider and
wait for power to restore.
Check whether the outlet or the circuit has been
damaged. If so, try another outlet.
Check whether the power cord is loose or not
fully inserted. Unplug it and plug it back in.
Check to make sure the power cord has not been
damaged. If it has, disconnect the unit and call
customer service or an electrician right away.
Fuse is blown. Replace the fuse.
Dehumidifier will not
start. Bucket full
indicator is lit.
Bucket is improperly
placed or removed entirely. Empty the bucket and replace it correctly.
Unit can run normally
but dehumidifying will
not start.
Humidity is set too high.
Press the – button to lower the humidity level if
you’d like the air to be drier, or press the CO
button so that the CONTINUOUS indicator LED is
lit, and the dehumidifier will run continuously.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNINGS:
• Before cleaning, turn o the dehumidifier and disconnect it from the power supply. If you do not do this, you
could create the risk of electrical shock or other safety hazards.
• Do not wash the dehumidifier with water or submerge the unit in water at any time. This could cause electrical
shock or even a fire.
• Do not use harsh detergents to clean the dehumidifier at any time or else it will strip the paint and damage the
unit’s appearance.
Caring for the Air Intake Vent and Outer Casing
• Use a soft, dry towel to wipe down the outer casing and remove dust. If more cleaning is necessary, use a towel
that is damp—NOT wet—with soapy water.
• To clean the air intake vent, you should use a dust catcher or gentle brush.
Caring for the Water Bucket
• Every few weeks, you should remove the water bucket from the unit and clean it to prevent the growth of mold,
mildew, and bacteria. Use a soft brush to clean the bucket and then rinse it out.
• To clean the bucket, you’ll first need to remove the handle. Do this by flipping it up toward the front/top of the
bucket so that the pegs holding it in place are lined up with the holes through which they are fitted (see the
figure below). Then pull the bucket plate at the side of the handle in the direction illustrated below so the pegs
come free of the holes and you can remove the handle.
• Once the handle is removed, press down the four buckles surrounding the bucket and lift up the drain lid to
remove it. Then you can easily reach inside the bucket to clean it.
• After cleaning the water bucket, replace the drain lid and handle, and then make sure the float is positioned
correctly. The side with the foam plastic should be beneath the drain lid. Do not remove the foam plastic on
the float.
Caring for the Air Filter
• After 250 hours of operation, the dehumidifier will remind you to clean the air filter. If you are using the
dehumidifier in a location where dust accumulates more quickly, you will need to clean the air filter more often.
• To remove the air filter, first remove the water bucket. Then, reach inside the opening at the bottom of the front
air vent, grasp the bottom plastic edge of the air filter, and pull straight down to remove it.
• Use warm soapy water to clean the air filter, making sure to rinse it and allow it to air-dry before replacing it in
the dehumidifier.
WARNINGS:
- Do not attempt to operate the dehumidifier without the filter, or else dust will accumulate on the evaporator
and this will aect the unit’s performance.
Symptom Possible Causes Probable Solutions
Dehumidifier is not performing
well.
There could be an obstacle
blocking the unit or air vents.
Make sure there are no curtains,
clutter, or furniture blocking the
unit.
Air filter needs to be cleaned. Clean the air filter.
The room is not properly sealed.
Make sure all doors, windows,
and/or other openings to outside
the room are closed.
Room temperature is too low.
The best environment for
dehumidifying is a warmer room.
If the room is too cold, the
dehumidifier will not work as
well. Make sure the room
temperature is above 41°F (5°C).

- Do not dry the air filter with fire or an electric hair-dryer, otherwise the filter could become misshapen or
catch on fire.
- Do not use a dust catcher or brush to clean the air filter, as these can permanently damage the filter.
Before Use (Seasonally)
• Check to make sure the air outlet is not blocked.
• Check to make sure the power plug and power socket are in good condition.

• Check to make sure the drain hose is not damaged.
After Use (Seasonally)
• Disconnect power.
• Clean air filter and outer casing.
• Clean the dust and any obstacles from the dehumidifier.
• Empty the water bucket and clean it.
Seasonal Storage Instructions
If you intend to put your dehumidifier in storage for the season, or simply plan on not using it for an extended
period of time, we recommend you take the following steps:
• Make sure the water bucket is emptied and dry, and the drainage hose is removed.
• Unplug the dehumidifier and store the power cable safely.
• Clean the unit and wrap it up so that dust will not accumulate in the filters, air vents, etc.
