5. Setup
5.1 Placement
- Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the desired location.
- Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
- Avoid placing the unit near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
5.2 Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
5.3 Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Manual Tank Drainage: The unit collects water in its 2.2L tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off, and a red LED indicator will illuminate. Empty the tank by sliding it out and pouring out the collected water.
- Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation without manual emptying, attach the included drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is routed downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket) to allow gravity to drain the water.
