9. Mirage Display – Backlit display on the front of
dehumidifier, which shows the actual humidity level
in room. Press the mirage button to turn on mirage
display and once again to turn off mirage display.
NOTE: Fan will continue to run when compressor
is off. This allows unit to circulate air and
operate more efficiently.
10. Bucket Full – When water bucket is full, unit will
automatically shut off, beep and bucket full
indicator will light up. Unit will not function until water
bucket is emptied and placed back into unit. Bucket
should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent
growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild
detergent to clean bucket. Once clean, completely
dry bucket and replace in unit.
NOTE: Hold bucket with both hands when
emptying. (See Figure 1)
Figure 1
NOTE: When water bucket is full or removed
from dehumidifier, compressor will turn off,
but fan may continue to run for a few minutes.
Dehumidifier will not be removing moisture
from the air at this time. When removing
moisture from the air, dehumidifier will exhaust
warm air from top exhaust vent. Do not place a
full bucket on floor because bottom of bucket
is uneven.

such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of
air in and out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
• Place on a smooth, level surface strong enough to
support unit with full bucket of water.
