5.7 Drainage Options

Your AirOrig dehumidifier offers two convenient drainage methods:

5.7.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

The unit features a large 4.5L water tank. When the tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate to prevent overflow. To empty:

  1. Gently pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
  2. Carefully empty the collected water into a sink or drain.
  3. Slide the empty water tank back into the unit until it clicks into place. The dehumidifier will resume operation.

5.7.2 Continuous Drainage

For continuous operation without needing to empty the water tank, use the included drain hose.

  1. Locate the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit.
  2. Connect one end of the supplied 1-meter drain hose to this port.
  3. Ensure the other end of the hose is placed into a suitable drain or larger container, ensuring it is lower than the drainage port for gravity flow.
  4. Once connected, water will continuously drain from the unit, bypassing the internal water tank.
