4. Setup

Proper setup ensures optimal performance and safety of your dehumidifier.

4.1. Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
2. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
3. Place the dehumidifier on a stable, level surface in the area requiring dehumidification. Ensure there is at least 1 foot (30 cm) of clear space around all sides for proper airflow.
4. For best results, close all doors and windows in the area to be dehumidified.

4.2. Power Connection

• Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the unit.
• Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet with the correct voltage (115 Volts).
• Avoid using extension cords if possible. If an extension cord is necessary, use a heavy-duty, grounded cord of appropriate gauge for the unit's wattage (770.5 watts).

4.3. Drainage Setup

The XD-85L2 features an integrated auto purge pump for continuous drainage. The drain hose is stored in the integrated compartment.

Figure 4.3.1: Integrated storage compartment for power cord and drain hose.

1. Locate the drain hose from the storage compartment.
2. Connect the drain hose securely to the unit's drainage outlet.
3. Route the other end of the drain hose to a suitable drain point, such as a sink, floor drain, or bucket. Ensure the hose is free of kinks and slopes downwards to allow for proper water flow. The auto purge pump will actively push water through the hose.

4.4. Optional Ducting

The unit includes a ducting ring for lay-flat ducting, allowing you to direct warm, dry air to specific areas.
