Removing Collected Water - GE APHR50 Owner's Manual

Using the Dehumidifier
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.

Removing Collected Water

There are 3 ways to remove collected water:
Use the bucket. When the bucket is removed, the unit will
shut off. Empty and replace the bucket.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the hose if using the bucket to
collect water. When the hose is connected, water will flow
through it onto the floor instead of into the bucket.
NOTES:
• Do not remove the bucket while the dehumidifier is
operating or if it has just stopped operating. This might
cause some water to drip from the drain pan.
• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
Use a hose. Water can be automatically emptied into a floor
drain by attaching a garden water hose (not included).
1. Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.
2. Open the drain cover on the side of the unit.

3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle and
ensure it is seated securely. Cut to length and lead it to
the floor drain.
4. Replace the bucket in the unit.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for
the dehumidifier to operate. The drain hose must run down
from the dehumidifier to the floor drain.
Use the internal pump. Water can be automatically
emptied into a remote location by attaching the included
pump hose.
1. Attach the pump hose to the hose connector by pushing
the tube fitting into the connector until it fits into place
(should not be able to remove the hose when pulled).
2. Position the hose discharge to the desired location.
3. Make sure the pump is activated. To activate the pump,
press and hold the Pump button for 3 seconds. The
Pump indicator light will flash then remain illuminated
once the 3 seconds are complete.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the condensate hose is properly
connected and is not kinked, bent or cracked as this may
cause water to flow onto the floor. Please ensure the bucket
is empty before putting the unit into pump mode. The bucket
must also be fully seated for the pump to work properly. Do
not operate the machine if the room temperature is 41°F or
below.
NOTE: Maximum lift height is 16ft.
