3.4 Drainage Options

Your COLZER dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:

• Manual Drainage (Water Bucket): The unit will collect moisture in its internal 7.4-Pint (4.5L) water bucket. When the bucket is full, the unit will automatically shut off and display a 'FULL' indicator. Empty the bucket and reinsert it to resume operation.
• Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For extended operation without manual emptying, attach the included drain hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a floor drain or a suitable receptacle, ensuring it is sloped downwards for gravity drainage.
