4. Setup

4.1 Initial Setup

Unpack the dehumidifier and remove all packaging materials.
Place the unit on a firm, level surface in the desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper airflow (at least 8 inches / 20 cm).
Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted into the unit.
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

4.2 Continuous Drainage Setup (Optional)

For continuous operation without needing to empty the water tank, you can use the included drainage hose.

Locate the drainage port at the back or side of the unit.
Connect one end of the 4.92-foot drainage hose to the drainage port. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.
Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drain, such as a floor drain, large bucket, or sink. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
Verify that the hose is not kinked or blocked, which could impede water flow.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your dehumidifier, please refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Dehumidifier does not turn on.	No power supply. Water tank is full or not properly inserted.	Check if the unit is plugged in and the outlet is working. Empty the water tank and ensure it is correctly reinserted.
No water collected or low dehumidification.	Room temperature is too low. Air inlet/outlet blocked. Room humidity is already low. Unit size is too small for the space.	Dehumidifiers work best in temperatures above 41°F (5°C). Ensure no obstructions around the unit. The unit may not collect much water if humidity is below 40%RH. Consider using multiple units or a larger capacity dehumidifier for bigger spaces.
Unit is noisy.	Unit is not on a level surface. Internal components vibrating.	Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. This is usually normal operation noise, but if excessive, contact customer service.
Water leaks from the unit.	Water tank not properly inserted. Continuous drainage hose is loose or kinked.	Ensure the water tank is fully and correctly seated. Check the hose connection and ensure it is not kinked and has a proper downward slope.
