4. Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup of your dehumidifier:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface in the desired location. Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of clear space around all sides of the dehumidifier for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Initial Standby: If the unit was tilted during transport, allow it to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
4. Drainage Options: Your dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
   • Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit comes with a 0.7-gallon (2.65L) water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Empty the tank and reinsert it to resume operation.
   • Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach the included 3.9 ft (1.2 m) drain hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a suitable drain or container.
