temperatures usually correlate with lower
humidity levels, the unit will not run frequently.
At higher temperatures higher humidity is normal
so the unit will run more often.

I CAUTION: Do not remove the
bucket while the pump is operating. This
will cause the dehumidifier to stop operat­
ing and result in an “E3” error message.
ALSO: The pump drain hose should not
be both under water AND at a height
that is above the dehumidifier. This can
cause a “back flow” to the dehumidifier
and cause the dehumidifier to stop work­
ing resulting in an “E3” error message.
Following an “E3” error, the unit must be
unplugged and reset to operate. (See
Error Code section of this manual.)
