DEHUMIDIFIER INFORMATION RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS • Spring/Summer: 35% - 50% • Fall/Winter: 35% - 40% WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL During operation your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the side of the unit. This is normal operation. EMPTYING THE BUCKET The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you may have to empty the bucket (unless you are using the continuous drainage option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied depends on the dehumidifier model. Model Number Pints of moisture removed per every 24 hour period Maximum number of times to empty the bucket when operating at full capacity during a 24 hour period 70 Pints 6 Times CBD-70P1A-H13A LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME IS A GOOD THING! Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain a more comfortable humidity level. Over time, this humidity level will become more and more stable. Due to the stable humidity level in the area, the dehumidifier will need to remove less and less moisture over time. Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is removing less moisture from the air or the bucket is taking longer to fill up. This is a direct result of your dehumidifier creating a more stable humidity level in your area. WATER IN THE BUCKET! There might be a small amount of water present in the bucket before using the dehumidifier for the first time, which is normal. This is caused by the preliminary testing done by the factory.

Press the MIRAGE button to turn the Mirage Display on and once again to turn the Mirage Display off. NOTE: Fan will continue to run even when the compressor is off. This is normal and allows the unit to circulate air and operate more efficiently OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9) Bucket Full - When the water bucket is full of water, the unit will automatically shut off , make a beeping noise, and the Bucket Full Indicator will light up. The dehumidifier will not function until the water bucket is emptied and placed back inside the unit. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once clean, completely dry the bucket and place it back inside the dehumidifier. NOTES: When the bucket is full or removed from the machine, the compressor will turn off, but the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely normal. The dehumidifier will not be removing moisture from the air at this time. When removing moisture from the air, the dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the side exhaust vent. Do not place a full bucket on the floor, because the bottom is uneven. 10) Clean Filter - When the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter indicator will light up (after 250 hours of use). Remove the filter from the back of the unit by using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, place the filter back in the unit and press the FILTER button to reset the filter indicator. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE DEHUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE INCLUDED FILTER NOTE: Do not clean filter in dishwasher OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 11)Internal Pump Mode- The internal pump allows the unit to operate without having to empty the bucket. To install the Pump Drain Hose Kit, remove the drain cap on the back of the unit. Insert the included Gasket into the Drain Adapter, then force the Drain Hose onto the Drain Adapter and turn clockwise onto the garden hose nozzle on the back of the unit as pictured below. (Drain adapter is included in storage compartment on top of water bucket.) Once securely installed, lead the Drain Hose to a nearby drain, sink or out of a window up to 16’ in height from the base of the unit. Turn on the unit and press the PUMP button to activate the internal pump. CAUTION: PUMP MODE WILL ONLY OPERATE WITH A SOLEUS DRAIN HOSE AND DRAIN ADAPTER; DO NOT USE A GARDEN HOSE IN PUMP MODE OR ANY OTHER TUBING. CHOOSING A LOCATION A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. • • • • • • • • • Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water. Allow at least 18’’ of air flow on all sides. Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F. The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may reduce performance. Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a clothes dryer. Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored. Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage. The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room. AUTOMATIC DEFROST When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and dehumidification will resume. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE Garden Hose Installation Setup Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose (not included). The thread standard for garden hoses in the US and its territories is known as GHT or "garden hose thread" which has an outer diameter of 1 1/16 inches (1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI. • • • • Place dehumidifier on a level surface. Unscrew the cap on the back of the unit to access the garden hose nozzle Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the accessible nozzle, lead to a floor drain and cut to length. Make sure that there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose. (See Picture Below) Turn on the unit and press the MODE button until set to CONTINUOUS. Garden Hose Installation Reference Guide IMPORTANT NOTES: Placing the dehumidifier on an uneven surface or improper hose installation may result in water filling up the bucket and cause the unit to shut off. Empty bucket if shut-off occurs, then check dehumidifier location and hose for proper setup. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. For more details, please scan below QR code for operation instruction video : MAINTENANCE Note: Make sure power is off and the power cord is not plugged into an electrical outlet prior to performing any maintenance on the unit. Clean or Replace Filter - The Clean Filter indicator will illuminate every 250 hours of operation as a reminder to clean the filter. (A clean filter will keep the unit operating at optimum performance.) Remove the filter from the back of the unit by using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, place the filter back in the unit and press the FILTER button to reset the filter indicator.
