3.3 Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the unit.

3.4 Water Drainage Options

The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:

1. Water Tank: The dehumidifier will collect water in its internal 5.5L tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. You must then manually empty the tank.
2. Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect a suitable drainage hose (not always included, check packaging) to the continuous drainage outlet at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a floor drain or larger container.
