5.2 Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet (110-240V). Ensure the voltage matches your local power supply.
5.3 Drainage Options
The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage: Moisture is collected in the internal 2.5L water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and the 'FULL' indicator will light up. Carefully remove the tank and empty the water.
- Continuous Drainage: For extended operation without manual emptying, attach one of the provided drainage hoses (60cm or 20cm) to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is directed downwards into a drain or larger container, allowing gravity to facilitate water flow.
