Permanant Drain Installation (optional):
The condesate water can be removed directly from the unit to a drain through a garden hose with the included adapter.
1.Turn the power off before beginning work.
2.Use a screwdriver to remove the
3.Slide the garden hose adapter (supplied) over the condensate drain through the
4.The garden hose should lead to a floor drain or other appropriate drain source. The garden hose should have no inclines or sharp bends. (Fig 8)

Service (Read carefully before calling for service)
If the Dehumidifier Fails to Start
pMake sure the unit is plugged into an operating outlet and the control knob is turned to the number “8” position.
pIf the indicator light (most models) is on, empty the full water container. The indicator light should now go OFF, and the dehumidifierwill begin to operate so be sure to quickly reinsert the empty water container. If the dehumidifier does not begin to operate make sure the float is attached to the water container.
Unit Runs, But Very Little Water is Collected
pThe amount of water removed from the air depends on the relative humidity of the air and the capacity of the dehumidifier purchased. When the air feels damp (high relative humidity), more moisture will be removed and the container will fill up more rapidly. As the unit continues to remove moisture and reduce the humidity in the area, less water will be collected in the container.
pThis unit is equipped with a defrost control , which will automatically activate when needed. When in defrost mode the compressor will cycle on and off and the unit will make less water.
pRoom humidity is low (below 40%).
Sounds
It is reassuring to know that your dehumidifier is functioning properly. These are some normal sounds which should not be a cause for concern:
pAir rushing over air drying coils.
pHissing or thumping - refrigerant is flowing throughout the sealed system and may generate a “boiling” sound right after the compressor stops.
pCompressor may “thump” as it cycles on and off.
pWater dripping from coils onto the drainplate.
pThe humidistat control, compressor and fan “tick” as they turn on and off. Metal makes a similar sound when expanding
or contracting.
