USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
NOTE: When installing the pump hose, the unit must be running in PUMP MODE. Water is pumped a maximum of 16 vertical feet. Do not exceed 16 feet for proper operation.
There is a small backup water tank inside the dehumidifier. When using PUMP mode the backup water tank fills up and then water is pumped out of the dehumidifier when full.
When the unit is not in use for an extended time, it is necessary to drain any excess water from the backup tank.
DRAINING EXCESS WATER IN BACKUP TANK:
1.Remove the bucket from the dehumidifier
2.Locate a small pan or bowl to collect the water (not supplied).
3.Pull the plug from the backup tank and allow the water to drain into the pan or bowl.
NOTE: When using continuous drainage option, make sure the garden hose is clear of any obstructions and drains downward. Improper installation or use of hose may result in water filling up the bucket and causing the unit to shut off. Empty the water bucket if shut off occurs due to bucket full condition.

WATER DISPOSING OPTIONS
Step 2: Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the drain nozzle. (Fig. 5) 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 1/16 in. (1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.
(FIG. 5)
Step 3: Remove the drain cover from the back of the bucket prior to seating the bucket in the unit. (Fig. 6)

Step 4: Properly insert the bucket into the dehumidifier and thread the hose through the opening left by removing the drain cover. Make sure the hose declines down from the unit and there are no kinks. (Fig. 7)

Place unit on even surface
NOTE: When removing the drain hose, excess water may spill from the dehumidifier. Use a small pan or bowl to catch the water and prevent it from spilling onto the unit or the floor.
