The dehumidifier can be used without the bucket installed. This means the dehumidifier will continue to remove water from the air and will not check if the bucket is installed.
Do not use bucketless mode without a drain hose attached. Ensure that the hose is securely connected before turning on the dehumidifier. Direct the other end of the drain hose to a place with unlimited capacity such as a sink or floor drain. Directing the drain hose to a place with limited capacity could cause the water to overflow.
To turn on bucketless mode:
To turn off bucketless mode:
there is a micro switch on the bottom of the dehumidifier that engages with the bucket. Bucketless mode may be automatically turned off if this switch is pressed. Ensure that the space is clear and that you do not touch the micro switch.
Ensure that the dehumidifier is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent toppling or sliding. The tilt angle needs to be less than 1 degree.
Ensure that the drain hose is properly connected before turning on bucketless mode.
There is no drain pump in this dehumidifier, the drain operates through gravity. The drain hose must angle down from the back of the dehumidifier at least 10 cm or more. The hose cannot lie flat or be angled upward.
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the appliance is unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any other chemicals to clean this appliance as these substances can cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.
Ensure that the drain ports on the back of the appliance are free of dirt and calcium build up.
The air filter should be cleaned approximately every 2 weeks. The air filter may require more frequent cleaning if there is significant dander or fur in the air.
Every 250 hours or approximately every ten days, the filter indicator light on the control panel will illuminate as a reminder to clean the filter. Follow the steps below to clean the filter and return the appliance to normal functioning.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air filter installed. Do not place the filters in a dishwasher.
If the display panel shows any of the below error codes, unplug the dehumidifier, let it stand for 5-10 minutes and then plug it back in. If the error persists, call for service.

EH61 - evaporator sensor error
EH0b - display board or master control board communication error
P2 - bucket is full
Eb - bucket is not installed
In the event of a power failure or if the appliance is unplugged, it will resume normal functioning when power is restored. The mode and fan speed will resume at the settings chosen before the power failure.
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost melts. The dehumidifier may emit the sound of running water. This is the refrigerant moving through the coils and is normal.
Unplug the dehumidifier and ensure the filter is clean. Ensure the bucket is empty and then allow both the bucket and the dehumidifier to dry completely before storing for the off season.
It could take a few days for water inside the dehumidifier to completely evaporate. Wipe the bucket with a dry cloth and ensure the drain has been emptied to speed up this process Store the dehumidifier covered in a dry location.
