WATER DRIP PROTECTION
When the water reservoir is removed for emptying,
this device will keep the condensed water that
continues to drip. Once the water reservoir is placed
back in the unit, it will release this water into the
reservoir.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
For added user convenience, this dehumidifier
includes a hose that can be attached to it to operate
with continuous drainage. To use it, simply remove
the drain plug located in the back of the unit and
connect the PVC hose that comes with the unit. Find
a suitable location for the unit where the open end
of the hose can drain the outgoing water into an
appropriate receptacle or outside of your home, far
enough away from the foundation to ensure proper
drainage. The unit will now direct water from the
bypass port and through the hose, rather than into
the water reservoir.
NOTE: Please make sure to place the open end
of the hose flat on the ground ensuring it is not
entangled.
CAUTION: The drain hose must be below the drain
plug in order for the unit to drain properly.
NOTE: To help prevent leakage, you should use a
marker to denote the location where the hose meets
the housing on the rear of the unit. Periodically check
to make sure this indicator has not moved away
from the housing to ensure that your hose will not
leak. Leakage inside the unit will fall into the water
reservoir. If this happens you can empty the water
reservoir by following the instructions above in the
"Emptying the Water Reservoir" section.
TROUBLESHOOTING
MALFUNCTIONING OF COMPRESSOR
Should the compressor start to malfunction during
the operation, it will automatically shut off. Wait for 3
minutes and then restart the unit again. If you wish to
restart the unit without waiting for 3 minutes, unplug
it from the electrical outlet and plug it again.
PROTECTION FOR EXTREMELY LOW
OR HIGH TEMPERATURES
If the unit's sensor detects the room temperature
is below 0° C or above 40° C, the dehumidifier will
automatically shut off. The unit will signal with 3 long
beep sounds followed by 2 short ones. To restart
the unit it will be necessary to unplug it from the
electrical outlet and plug it back in.
FAILURES OF HUMIDITY &
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
If the sensor malfunctions, the unit will not operate
and the letters "EO" will be displayed in the screen.
You may restart the unit after troubleshooting it or
take it to the nearest Authorized Service Center to be
checked by a qualified technician.

dehumidification setting. The humidistat within the
