There are two ways to remove collected water:
1.  Use the bucket
When the unit is off and the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times, the 
bucket full indicator light will fl ash, and the digital display shows P2. 
When the unit is on and the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and 
the fan turns off after drying the water off the condenser for 30 seconds. 
The unit will then beep 8 times and the bucket full indicator light will 
fl ash, and the digital display shows P2.
To empty the full bucket, slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and 
right handles securely, and carefully pull it straight out so water does 
not spill. Do not put the tank on the fl oor because the bottom of the 
bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause water to spill. 
Discard the water and return the bucket to the unit. The bucket must 
be placed and properly positioned for the dehumidifi er to operate. The 
machine will restart when the bucket is restored in its correct position.
Note: When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of 
the unit. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the bucket 
gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or 
failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate. When 
you remove the bucket, if there is some water inside the unit you must 
dry it. The power button fl ashes when the bucket is not properly in 
place. 
2. Continuous 
draining:
Water can be automatically emptied into a fl oor drain by attaching the 
unit to an ID ≥ 5/16” water hose with a ID:M=1 female threaded end (not 
included, a standard garden hose works well).
 
Install the drain hose. 
Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and set it 
aside. 
Install the female threaded end of the water hose into the adaptor A 
(see B4), then lead the water hose to the fl oor drain or a suitable drain-
age facility. 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 fl owing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and 
make sure the end of the hose is level or declining to let the water fl ow 
smoothly. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit 
for continuous draining to start.
