Setup and Installation

Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
2. Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
3. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.

Placement

• Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a full water tank.
• Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper air circulation. Do not block the air inlet or outlet.
• Avoid placing the unit near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

Power Connection

• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the rating label on the back of the unit.

Drainage Options

Your KingHome dehumidifier offers two drainage methods: manual emptying of the water tank or continuous drainage using the built-in pump.

Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

• The unit will automatically stop operating when the water tank is full and an alert will sound.
• Carefully pull out the front-removable water tank using its built-in pull-up handle.
• Empty the water, then reinsert the tank firmly into the unit.

Continuous Drainage (Built-in Pump)

For continuous operation without emptying the tank, use the built-in vertical pump.

1. Locate the external drain connector on the back of the unit.
2. Connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the external drain connector.
3. Route the hose to a suitable drain location, such as a sink or out a window, ensuring the hose is sloped downwards to allow for gravity drainage. The built-in pump will lift water vertically if needed.
4. Ensure the hose is securely connected to prevent leaks.
