Setup Guide

1. Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. It is recommended to have two people for lifting due to its weight (102.6 lbs).
2. Place the unit upright on a stable, level surface.
3. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
4. Ensure there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space around all sides of the unit for proper airflow.

3. Drainage Setup

The CD190S features a built-in pump for continuous drainage. This eliminates the need to manually empty a water tank.

• Locate the drain hose connection point on the unit.
• Connect the provided 10 ft drain hose to the unit's drainage outlet. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.
• Route the other end of the drain hose to a suitable drainage location, such as a floor drain, sink, or out a window. The built-in pump can lift water up to 16 feet vertically.
• Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed, which could prevent proper drainage.
