4. Setup

4.1 Placement

Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface.
Ensure there are no obstacles within 10cm (4 inches) of the air inlets and outlets to allow for proper airflow.
For optimal performance, operate the unit in an enclosed space with doors and windows closed.
The optimal operating temperature is 59-104°F (15-40°C) and humidity is 45-80% RH. Dehumidification is less effective below 59°F (15°C) and will not operate below 41°F (5°C).

4.2 Power Connection

Connect the power adapter to the dehumidifier's power port and then plug it into a standard 110V/60Hz AC outlet.

4.3 Drainage Options

The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:

Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit will collect water in its 800ml tank. When full, the unit will automatically shut off, and the indicator light will turn red.
Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, connect the provided 3.28ft drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is positioned downwards and leads to a suitable drain (e.g., sink, floor drain) to allow gravity to facilitate drainage.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the power button on the front of the unit to turn the dehumidifier on or off. The indicator light will illuminate blue when the unit is operating.

5.2 Automatic Shut-off

When the water tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically shut down, and the indicator light will change from blue to red. This prevents water overflow. To resume operation, empty the water tank and place it back into the unit securely.
