OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Continuous Drain
Water can be removed using the continuous drain
with a standard garden hose and female threaded
end (not provided).
Before using any automatic drain functions,
check that all drain ports are clean. There is one
drain port inside the bucket compartment of the
appliance, remove the bucket to see it. There is one
drain port on the back of the appliance where the
female threaded end and garden hose attach. All
drain ports should be cleaned with a pipe cleaner
prior to use.
To use the continuous drain you must purchase a
garden hose and female threaded end.
The required dimensions are:
• Female threaded end: ID:M=1''
• Garden hose: ID≥Φ5/16''
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet
and attach the female threaded end and the garden
hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the other
end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
Ensure that the garden hose is not bent and goes
straight down from the back of the appliance. The
continuous drain is only activated by gravity so any
bends or upward motion in the hose will stop the
water from draining.
The garden hose should be cut so that it is no more
than 1.8 m (6 feet) long. If the drain hose is too
long water may not drain completely which can
lead to stagnant water and mildew build up inside
the hose.
Notes:
• Do not clean the drain ports with anything more
rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the
appliance.
• If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can
cause water to leak from the bottom of the
appliance.
• The continuous drain is fed by gravity alone.
3. Pump Drain
If the continuous drain is inconvenient, water can be
removed from the appliance using the pump drain.
When using the pump, the appliance will first fill the
bucket with water and then the pump arm will pump
water from the bucket through the drain and out the
hose.
Remove the continuous drain hose from the unit and
rotate back plastic cover to the continuous drain
hose outlet clockwise.
Peel off the fixed tape, insert the pump drain hose
into the pump drain hose outlet for depth of 15 mm
at least, and make sure the hose is secure so there
are no leaks.
Direct the other end of the hose to a drain. Press the
pump button to activate the pump function. When
the bucket is full, the pump will begin to work.
Ensure that the drain hose is not bent, this can stop
the water from draining correctly and overwork the
pump.
Do not connect the provided hose together with
another hose. The maximum length of the pump
drain hose should be no more than 4.6 m (15 feet).
If the drain hose is too long water may not drain
completely which can lead to stagnant water and
mildew build up inside the hose.
When using the pump drain, the water bucket
should be emptied every few days to ensure that the
water in the bucket does not become stagnant or
grow mildew.
To remove the hose, press inward on the ring
around the drain and pull the hose outward.
Important: If the drain pump is activated, water will
exit the drain whether a hose is attached or not.
Ensure that the drain pump is deactivated when the
hose is removed to avoid damage to floor due to
leaking water.
To remove the drain hose press inward on the ring
around the drain and pull the hose outward.
