6. Water Drainage
The dehumidifier offers two drainage options: manual and continuous.
6.1 Manual Drainage
When the 5-liter water tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and emit an audible alert. Carefully remove the water tank from the unit and empty the collected water. Reinsert the tank firmly until it clicks into place.
6.2 Continuous Drainage
For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, attach the included 100 cm drain hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is directed downwards to a suitable drain or container, allowing gravity to facilitate water flow.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
7.1 Cleaning the Air Filter
The high-density air filter is removable and washable. It is recommended to clean the filter regularly (e.g., every two weeks or as needed) to prevent dust buildup and maintain air quality. To clean, remove the filter, wash it with mild detergent and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. You may also use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the surface.
