installinG the DrainaGe hOse
The drainage hose can be put out into any suitable area where water can be emptied.
The hose can be run outside through a window, in a sink, or in a drain.
Attention should be given to the flow of the drained water. Be sure it flows away from buildings and other objects that could be damaged.
cautiOn: The drainage hose MUST NOT be installed more than ten(10) feet above the floor on which the unit is standing.
DisPOsinG Of the cOllecteD water
1. Continuous draining using the pump
Choose a safe location to drain the water that flows away from buildings and other objects that could be damaged.
Our specially designed vertical pump allows water removal of up to 10 feet in height making it possible to
discharge the water out a window, into a drain pipe, or in a sink.
nOte: Make sure the pump light is on when using this option.
2. Continuous draining without the pump
Condensed water can be drained without the use of the pump by connecting a hose to the outlet on the
bottom of the unit. Remove the rubber plug and connect a hose to the unit to drain directly into a drain
hole on the floor. Remember, water runs downhill. The drain point must be must be lower than the drain
connector on the unit.
nOte: Keep the plug in a safe place for when you choose to utilize the pump in the future.

PumP
Use the button to active the heavy-duty pump system for active draining. Once the pump button is pressed, the pump light near the LCD Display will illuminate and the pump will automatically remove
the water as it is collected.
If the pump light flashes it means that the pump is not functioning properly. Review the troubleshooting section of this manual for possible solutions.
set humiDitY
The set humidity function will allow you to set the desired level of humidity you would like for the room. To set it, press the Set Humidity button and use the “+ “or “– “button to set the percentage.
The unit will turn on automatically when the room humidity is higher than the selected humidity.
For the best results, the humidity level should be reduced gradually. Start at the highest setting. Reduce it by 5% until the compressor turns on. Allow the unit to run at this level until it maintains this
level of humidity, then continue to reduce it gradually until it is between 30% and 50% depending on your level of comfort.
After setting the desired humidity, the unit will run automatically, maintaining the desired humidity.
The Relative Humidity may be set from RH 30% to RH 80%. The operational temperature for this unit is between 40°F and 95°F.If the temperature of the room falls below 40°F, the unit will stop. This
function protects the compressor, and is normal.
nOte: The selected humidity may vary by 5%(+ or -)
fan sPeeD
Press to Speed button to select fan speed "HIGH" or "LOW". BDH-550 offers a “MEDIUM” fan speed.
DefrOst liGht
If ice forms on the internal coils, the defrost light will come on. The dehumidifier will automatically go into “Auto Defrost” mode. The defrosting light remains on until defrosting is
completed. Once the defrosting process is finished, the unit will continue to remove humidity in the room.
water liGht
If for any reason the water is restricted from exiting the unit, the water light will be lit. Review the troubleshooting section of this manual for possible solutions.

maintenance
always unplug the unit from the wall outlet before beginning cleaning.
the unit is equipped with a washable filter. follow the instruction below to remove and clean it.
cleaning the air filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying decreases. It is good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency
depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
1. On the back of the dehumidifier, remove the filter by gently pulling the handle on the grille forward.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse several times.
3. After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before replacing it.
