Drainage Options

Your AIRPLUS Dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:

Figure 6: Illustration of the two drainage methods: manual drainage using the 2.8L water tank and continuous drainage via a connected hose.

Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

The unit will automatically shut off when the water tank is full. The "Full Tank" indicator light will illuminate. To empty:

1. Gently pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
2. Carefully carry the tank to a sink or drain.
3. Pour out the collected water.
4. Slide the empty water tank back into the dehumidifier until it clicks into place.

Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)

For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, you can connect a drain hose (not included) to the unit's drain outlet.

1. Locate the drain outlet at the back of the dehumidifier.
2. Remove the rubber stopper from the drain outlet.
3. Connect a standard garden hose (or suitable tubing) to the drain outlet. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
4. Route the hose downwards to a floor drain, large bucket, or other suitable drainage point. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the hose.
5. The unit will now drain continuously, bypassing the water tank.
