4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
- Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
4.2 Placement
For optimal performance, place the dehumidifier in a central location within the area you wish to dehumidify. Ensure:
- The unit is on a firm, level surface.
- There is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around all sides of the unit for proper air circulation.
- Windows and doors in the room are closed to maximize efficiency.
4.3 Drainage Options
Your Waykar dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
4.3.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)
The unit will collect water in its internal water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Simply pull out the water tank, empty it, and reinsert it firmly until it clicks into place. The unit will then resume operation.
4.3.2 Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)
For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect the included drain hose. Locate the drain outlet on the back or side of the unit. Remove the rubber stopper (if present) and firmly attach one end of the drain hose. Route the other end of the hose to a suitable drain, such as a floor drain or large bucket, ensuring the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage. Do not allow the hose to be kinked or elevated above the unit.
