4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
2. Place the unit upright on a stable, level surface.
3. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
4. Ensure there is at least 8 inches of space around the unit for proper airflow.
5. The dehumidifier is suitable for basements, laundry rooms, bathrooms, garages, offices, stockrooms, and cellars.

4.2 Drainage Options

Your Uhome dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:

• Manual Emptying: The unit collects water in its 1.7-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Simply pull out the tank using the handle and empty the collected water.
• Continuous Drainage: For extended use without manual emptying, attach the included 23.6-inch drain hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow water to drain by gravity into a suitable floor drain or larger container.
