- Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface that can support its weight when the water bucket is full.
- Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of clear space around the air inlet and outlet for optimal performance.
- Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or ovens, or in direct sunlight.
- Do not use the unit in areas where flammable gases or combustible materials are present.
3.3 Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 120V/60Hz electrical outlet.

3.4.2 Continuous Drainage
- For continuous operation without emptying the bucket, attach the included drain hose to the continuous drain outlet on the back of the unit.
- Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) to allow gravity drainage.
- Do not allow the hose to be kinked or blocked, as this will prevent proper drainage.
