REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE WATER BUCKET
1 . Empty the bucket manually.
When the bucket is full, pull out
and empty it into a large sink or tub
and then replace it properly.
• Do not overtighten the hose when
connecting it to the bucket. Use a
rubber washer and tighten by
hand firmly without stripping the
plastic threads.
• Be careful while taking out the
bucket as it can cause damage.
• Please do not shake strongly
when you carry the bucket. It can
cause to breakage of the handle
or bucket cover.
It is advisable to carry the bucket
by supporting it from the bottom.

. Attach a length of garden hose to the threaded bucket drain
hose connection to carry water to the drain.
The bucket has a threaded hose
connection which can be left open.
Drill a 1/4" (6.4 mm) hole in the
center of the hose connection.
Once opened, the hose connection
will continually drain water from the
bucket.
• The nozzle cannot be fixed after
puncture. Use an ordinary garden
hose cap to reclose if necessary.
• When inserting the bucket into the
unit, lifting up the bottom tip of the
bucket lightly makes insertion
easily.
■ When being attached to the
bucket drain hose connection, be
sure the hose doesn't kink or
bend. It should lie flat from the
dehumidifier to the drain.
’ The hose attachment will accept a
standard garden hose filling. You
can attach a screw-on cap to use
the bucket without a hose.
