3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
- Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
3.2 Placement
- Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its weight when the water tank is full.
- Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around the air inlet and outlet grilles to allow for proper airflow.
- Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, in direct sunlight, or in areas exposed to splashing water.
- The unit is portable, featuring castors and handles for easy relocation.
3.3 Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the electrical requirements specified on the product label.
3.4 Water Drainage Options
The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit collects condensed water in its internal 5-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically stop operating, and an indicator will illuminate. Carefully remove the tank, empty the water, and reinsert it securely to resume operation.
- Continuous Drainage: For extended operation without manual emptying, connect a suitable drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a floor drain or larger container.
