Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the power requirements of the dehumidifier (refer to specifications section).

4.3 Water Drainage Options

The WDH-725DG offers two methods for water drainage:

1. Internal Water Tank: The unit collects condensed water in its removable 3-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate.
2. Continuous Drainage: For extended operation without needing to empty the tank, a hose can be connected to the continuous drainage port. This allows water to drain directly into a floor drain or larger container. The drainage hose is not included with the unit.
