Screw the hose onto the drainage connector of the unit directly or through the drainage joint, continuous drainage option will automatically start. 2. Check the seal between the hose and the drainage joint. If there is a small leak then replace the hose gasket and re-tighten the hose. 3.

Empty water bucket if shut-off occurs, then check dehumidifier location and hose for proper installation. (fig.7) 5. To quit continuous drainage option and collect water using the bucket, you need to remove the garden hose and take out draingage joint to avoid leakage, then put the drain cover back. 6.
