4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the unit upright on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of space around the air inlet and outlet for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is fully extended and securely plugged into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50Hz).
4. Initial Operation: Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in and turning it on, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
