Drainage Options
The dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:

- Carefully remove the water tank from the unit using its handle.
- Empty the collected water.
- Reinsert the empty water tank firmly into the unit. The dehumidifier will resume operation.
- Continuous Drain (Hose Connection):
- For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach the included 25.59-inch drain hose to the continuous drain outlet on the back of the unit.
- Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a suitable floor drain or large container.
- Verify that the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
