• The continuous drain hose must always be placed
at a downward angle. A maximum 6' length will
prevent backups on days of extra humidity. Any
upward angles or sharp bends will cause the water
to either become stuck inside the hose or back up
into the unit. (See Figure 4)
Figure 4
• A maximum 6' length garden hose (not included)
with a female threaded end (not included) can be
used for the continuous drainage option. The unit is
not designed to secure a vinyl hose and can cause
leaking water.
PUMP DRAINAGE
• Water pumps provide much more flexibility for
drainage options. It can pump water vertically to a
maximum height of 16' and as far as 40' in length.
This is ideal for routing water out a window, to a
distant floor drain or into a sink so the unit can stay
on a secure floor. The pump turns on when the water
bucket is completely full and will expel 32 oz. of
water, about half of the bucket, before stopping.
• A maximum 40' length hose (included) can be used
for the pump option. (See Figure 5)

• To install the hose, ensure it is pushed into the
pump drain outlet to a depth of at least 1/2 inch
(approximately 15 mm). Once the hose is installed to
the proper depth, the holder will lock it in place. The
other end of the hose is placed in a floor drain or
location where water will drain.
• The water pump will activate only when the "Full"
indicator light is on and water bucket is full. It will
expel 32 oz. of water, about half the bucket, and
then turn off. Completely empty the water bucket
and clean it every week to prevent stagnant water
and mold growth.
• The hose should always be removed when the pump
feature is not being used. To remove the hose, firmly
press on the plastic ring around the pump hose
outlet and gently pull on the hose. Do not force
the hose to detach from the holder by only pulling
on it. This will cause permanent damage to the
unit. Residual water may expel from the unit when
removing the hose. (See Figure 6)

CAUTION! Do not use this operation when the
outdoor temperature is equal to or less than
32°F. Otherwise, water will freeze inside the
hose resulting in unit failure.
NOTE: The pump may make a noticeable
sound for 3-5 minutes on startup. This is normal.
CAUTION! The pump operation light will blink
at 1 Hz if there is an operational failure of the
pump. Turn off the unit and unplug the power.
