lIf you connect to a sink drain, using the “Y”Branch Tailpiece and Connector Kit, available at plumbing and hardware stores, will make this connection easier. The kit includes all of the necessary fittings and complete installation instructions.

lIf you connect to a disposer, use the larger end of the corrugated hose which has been designed to fit the disposer without any special connectors (see inset of Figure 9).

NOTE: Be sure to remove the knockout plug from inside the disposer inlet fitting before attaching the drain hose.

If the drain hose is to be routed through the floor to a separate trap, the trap must be vented to prevent siphoning. To provide proper venting, install the Air Gap Kit, available at plumbing and hardware stores, into the countertop. Route the drain hose up to the inlet side of the air gap. Continue drain line from outlet side of air gap down through floor to separate trap (see Figure 70).

Do not cut the corrugated drain hose. Excess corrugated hose should be placed flat on the floor in the dishwasher cabinet. Make sure the hose does not come into contact with any sharp edges.

RUD0800EB specifications

The Whirlpool RUD0800EB is a powerful and efficient dehumidifier designed to improve indoor air quality by effectively reducing humidity levels in medium to large spaces up to 3,000 square feet. This model is particularly ideal for basements, laundry rooms, and other areas prone to dampness and excessive moisture.

One of the standout features of the Whirlpool RUD0800EB is its high-performance dehumidification capability, which removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day. This considerable capacity ensures that your living environment remains comfortable by eliminating musty odors and preventing mold and mildew growth, a common concern in humid climates.

The RUD0800EB boasts a sleek, modern design that blends seamlessly with various home decors. Its compact size allows for easy placement in any room, and the convenient casters enable effortless mobility from one space to another when needed.

This model is equipped with automatic humidity control, allowing users to set their desired humidity levels. Once the target level is reached, the unit automatically shuts off, conserving energy and prolonging the lifespan of the appliance. When humidity levels rise again, the unit turns back on to maintain the set levels, providing a hassle-free user experience.

An additional feature users appreciate is the continuous drainage option. This allows for a gravity-fed drain hose to be connected, eliminating the need to regularly empty the water collection bucket. However, for those who prefer the manual option, the RUD0800EB includes a large, easy-to-empty water tank that features a transparent design, so users can easily monitor the water level.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the Whirlpool RUD0800EB, as certified by Energy Star. This designation means it operates using less energy compared to conventional dehumidifiers, yielding significant savings on utility bills without compromising performance.

Other practical characteristics include the intuitive digital control panel and LED display, which make it easy for users to operate and monitor settings. Additionally, the washable air filter helps improve air quality and system performance while making maintenance straightforward.

Overall, the Whirlpool RUD0800EB stands out as a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly dehumidifier suitable for various indoor environments, emphasizing comfort and air quality.
