4.3 Drainage Options

The RDHC-110 offers two methods for water removal:

1. Water Collection Tank: The unit is equipped with a 5.5L internal water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Empty the tank and reinsert it securely to resume operation.
2. Continuous Drainage: For extended operation without manual emptying, connect the included 5m (16.4 ft.) hose to the continuous drainage outlet. Route the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) ensuring it is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage. Do not allow the hose to kink or become obstructed.
