OPTION 3: Pump Draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain or a
suitable drainage facility by attaching the pump drain with a
pump drain hose. (Outer Diameter = 1/4”, supplied.)
● If you have the continuous drain hose option installed, remove
it as instructed on page 8, making sure to replace the plastic
cover over the continuous drain hole. (See Fig. 13).
● Insert the pump drain hose into the pump drain hose outlet at
least 5/8”. (See Fig. 14.) Lead the water hose to the floor drain
or a suitable drainage facility.
● Press the pump pad (button) on the control pad of the unit to
activate the pump operation. When the bucket is full, the pump
starts to work.
NOTE: The pump may be very noisy for the first 3–5
minutes after it starts working. This is normal.
● Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
● Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no
kinks that will stop the water from flowing.
● Place the end of the hose into the drain. The hose iteself may
be directed vertically, but make sure the end of the hose is
level or downward. If the very end of the hose is facing
upward, water may have difficulty draining.
● Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit
for the unit to start. (Alternatively, you may choose to run the
unit on Continuous mode so it runs all the time rather than
cycling on and off based around your humidity setting. In
Continuous mode, you will not be able to set a desired
humidity setting.)
● The “pump operation” indicator light blinks when the pump is in
operational failure. Please turn off the unit and unplug the
power cord. Check the following things:
▪ Clean the filter of the pump; remove the bucket from the
unit, take down the pump and clean the filter of the pump by
rinsing it with water. (See Fig. 15.)
▪ Check that the pump drain hose is not kinked or blocked.
▪ Empty the water from the bucket.
▪ If the pump hose drops when you remove the bucket (see
Fig. 7 on page 7), you must reinstall the pump hose properly
in the unit before replacing the bucket in the unit. (See Fig. 8
on page 8.)
● Do not use the pump draining when the outdoor temperature is
equal to or less than 32°F (0°C). Attempting to drain outdoors
when the temperature is 32°F (0°C) or lower can cause water
to freeze, blocking up the hose and resulting in unit failure.
● To remove the pump drain hose, press the pump drain hose
outlet and remove the hose. (See Fig. 16.) Make sure not to let
the water in the pump hose drip on the floor.
