4.2 Water Drainage
The dehumidifier offers two drainage options:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): When the water tank is full, the "FULL" indicator will light up, and the unit will stop operating. Carefully remove the water tank from the back of the unit and empty it. Reinsert the tank securely to resume operation. The tank has a capacity of 2.8 liters (approximately 5.9 pints).
- Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the continuous drain outlet located at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a floor drain or suitable receptacle.
