OPERATING THE UNIT
Removing the collected water
There are three ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket
When the unit is off and the bucket is full, the Full
indicator light will light up.
When the unit is on and the bucket is full, the compressor
and fan will turn off. The Full indicator light go off and
the digital display will show ‘P2.’
Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right
handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so
water does not spill. Do not put the bucket on the floor
because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise
the bucket will fall over and cause the water to spill.
Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The
bucket must be in right place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored
in its correct position.
NOTES:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts
inside of 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.
If the pump detaches when you remove the bucket (see
Fig.7), you must reinstall the pump properly to the unit
before replacing the bucket back into the unit (see Fig.8).
After you remove the bucket, if there is some water in
the unit you must dry it out.
When the unit is on, if the bucket is removed, the
compressor and fan will turn off, then the unit will beep
8 times and the digital display will show ‘Eb.’
When the unit is off and the bucket is removed, the unit
will beep 8 times and the digital display will show ‘Eb.’
2. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor
drain by attaching the unit with a water hose
(Id≥5/16 , not included) with a female threaded
end (ID:M=1 , not included).
Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A (See Fig.9,
placed in the bucket).
Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of
the unit and set aside and remove bucket, then insert
the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and
securely press it into the connector on the front of the
unit.(See Fig.10 and Fig.11)
Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws
(placed in the bucket).
Install the female threaded end of the water hose into
the adaptor A.(See.Fig.12), then lead the water hose
to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that
there are no obstructions that will stop the water flowing.
