RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS
• Spring/Summer: 35% - 50%
• Fall/Winter: 35% - 40%
WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL
During operation your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air
from the side of the unit. This is normal operation.
EMPTYING THE BUCKET
The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from
the air, the more often you may have to empty the
bucket (unless you are using the continuous drainage
option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied
depends on the dehumidifier model.
The chart below shows how many pints removed and
how many times to empty bucket in a 24-hour period.
MODEL NO. PINTS REMOVED BUCKETS EMPTIED
H-6369 45 PINTS 6 TIMES
H-6370 70 PINTS 5 TIMES
LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME IS
NORMAL
Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain
a more comfortable humidity level. Over time, this
humidity level will become more and more stable. Due
to the stable humidity level in the area, the dehumidifier
will need to remove less and less moisture over time.
Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is
removing less moisture from the air or the bucket
is taking longer to fill. This is a direct result of your
dehumidifier creating a more stable humidity level in
your area.
WATER IN THE BUCKET
There might be a small amount of water present in the
bucket before using the dehumidifier for the first time,
which is normal. This is caused by the preliminary testing
done by the factory.

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⁄" 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 Figure 4)
• Turn on the unit and press the MODE button until set
to CONTINUOUS.
NOTE: Placing the dehumidifier on an uneven surface or improper hose installation may result in water
filling the bucket and causing the unit to shut off. Empty bucket if shut-off occurs, then check dehumidifier
location and hose for proper setup. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier
to operate.

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 air flow on all sides.
(See Figure 3)
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F. The coils can
become covered with frost at temperatures below
41°F, which may reduce performance. (See Figure 3)
• 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 damage.
• 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.
