How do you get the machine to default to the drain hose once the hose is connected? I have a hose connected, however, the bucket continues to fill and needs to be emptied. Is there a switch to divert to continues drain? null

If you have the hose installed correctly and running to a drain it should be automatic. there is no switch or anything to set, connecting the hose to the connector is it.

We are sorry that you are having this situation.  If water is not draining through the hose, please check the following:

Make sure you have a good connection where the garden hose attaches and that there is a rubber washer properly installed in the end of the garden hose. If the connection is loose, gently tighten the connection with pliers.  If the hose is pushed into a drain (like a standpipe), make sure it is not pushed in too far. If the hose is touching water, it will not drain. Pull out the hose until the hose outlet is above the water line.  Cut off any excess hose so that it is moving in a straight line to the drain.  Avoid using an old or damaged garden hose.   Make sure drain hose goes downward toward floor and not up.  Hope this helps.  Geoff@GEA
