5.2 Drainage Connection
The dehumidifier is designed for continuous drainage.
- Gravity Drainage: Connect the provided drain hose to the unit's drain outlet. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards continuously to a floor drain or suitable receptacle. Avoid kinks or elevated sections in the hose that could impede water flow.
- External Condensate Pump (Optional): For situations where gravity drainage is not feasible, an external condensate pump (not included) can be connected to the unit. Follow the pump manufacturer's instructions for installation.

Regular cleaning of the air filter is crucial for optimal performance and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the dehumidifier.
- Locate and remove the air filter (typically on the side or back of the unit).
