OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DEHUMIDIFY MODE

Humidity is extracted from the air, collected in the water tank and discharged
through the upper drain outlet.
• Use the MODE button to set the unit function to DEHUMIDIFY.
• Remove the exhaust hose from the unit. Exhausting air outside of the
room will nullify the DEHUMIDIFY function.
• Remove the rubber plug from the upper drain outlet (shown in figure
below) in the front of the unit, and attach the drain hose.
• Allow water to flow out continuously into a bucket or floor drain.
NOTE: In DEHUMIDIFY, ventilator fan speed is preset to maximize efficient
operation. You will not be able to adjust the fan speed. You may also allow
the water to drain by opening the lower drain outlet and placing the unit
directly over a shallow pan. Do not leave the unit unattended in case the pan
fills and needs to be emptied.
CAUTION: Water will run out immediately once lower drain cap is removed.
Place drain outlet over collection pan prior to removing cap.
