Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the unit on a firm, level surface in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or rise above 104°F (40°C). Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Operation: The unit is ready for operation. For optimal performance, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before first use if it was transported on its side.
- Wi-Fi Setup (Optional):
- Download the "My Ivation" app from your smartphone's app store (available for Android and iOS).
- Follow the in-app instructions to connect your dehumidifier to your home Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz only).
- The app allows remote control and monitoring of the unit.
- Continuous Drainage Setup (Optional):
- Locate the drain outlet on the back of the unit.
- Attach a standard garden hose (not included, or use the provided short hose) to the drain outlet.
- Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket) to allow gravity drainage. Do not allow the hose to kink or rise above the drain outlet.
