Removing the collected water 1. Pull out the bucket a little.
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
with even strength, 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 unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will
beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the
digital display shows P2.
When the unit is on, if the bucket is full, the compressor
turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying
the water of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8
times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital
display shows 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 and cause the water to spill.
Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The
bucket must be in 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.
When you remove the bucket, if there is some water in
the unit it must be dried.

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the grille and case
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach
or abrasives.
Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing
so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation
to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use
a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
