5. Water Drainage

The dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:

• Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit collects water in its 2-liter transparent tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove the tank, empty the water, and reinsert it.
• Continuous Drainage (Hose): For uninterrupted operation, attach the included 2-meter drainage hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water.
