For model(s) with PUMP

Internal Pump Mode – The internal pump allows the unit to operate without having to empty the bucket and requires the installation of the included pump drain hose kit (do not use a garden hose). While the unit is Off, to install the hose, remove the drain cap on the back of the unit. The pump mode operation will pump water up to 16 feet lengthwise using the hose included. Force the hose on to the pump adapter and turn the adapter clockwise on to the threaded connection on the back of the unit. Once securely installed, lead the drain hose to a nearby drain, sink, or out of a window. Turn on the dehumidifier and press the Pump button to activate the internal pump. The "Pump" LED indicator should illuminate.

Note: The pump will not engage until the bucket is almost full of water.

Troubleshooting

Having trouble completing installation? Don't worry, it's usually an easy fix.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE	CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Dehumidifier does not start	The dehumidifier is unplugged.	Make sure the dehumidifier plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
	The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped	Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
	Dehumidifier has reached its pre-set level or the bucket is full	The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty the water bucket. The bucket must be replaced properly for the dehumidifier to operate.
	Bucket is not in the proper position	The bucket must be in place and securely inserted for the dehumidifier to operate.
	Power failure	There is a protective time delay (up to 3 min.) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidification for 3 min. after it is powered back on.
Dehumidifier does not dry the air as it should	Not enough time allowed for unit to remove moisture	When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to reach the desired dryness/humidity level.
	Airflow is restricted	Make sure there are no curtains, blinds , or furniture blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier.
	Dirty filter	Clean the filter. See the Cleaning and Care Section of the manual.
	The Humidity Control may not be set low enough	For drier air, press the v button to lower the humidity setting percentage in the room set the dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification.
	Doors and windows may not be closed tightly	Check that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed.
	Clothes dryer may be blowing moist air into the room	Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer. The dryer should be vented outside.
	Room temperature is too low	Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures. Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is designed to operate at temperatures above 41° F (5°C).
