Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface in the desired location. Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around all sides for proper airflow. Do not place it against a wall or near heat sources.
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 stabilize.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Drainage Option (Optional):

   The dehumidifier offers two drainage options:

   • Manual Drainage: The unit will collect water in its 2-liter tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Empty the tank manually.
   • Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation without manual emptying, connect a suitable drain hose (not included) to the continuous drainage outlet. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a floor drain or larger container.
