This image illustrates the three available drainage methods: Manual Draining using the 1.14-gallon water tank, Automatic Drainage with the included 3.3 ft drain hose, and Portable Drainage compatible with a garden hose (not included).
- Manual Draining: The dehumidifier collects water in the 1.14-gallon water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically stop and an indicator will light up. Carefully remove and empty the tank, then reinsert it.
- Automatic Drainage: For continuous operation without emptying the tank, connect the included 3.3 ft drain hose to the drainage port at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is positioned below the drain outlet to allow gravity drainage into a suitable receptacle or floor drain.
- Portable Drainage (Garden Hose Compatible): If the included hose is not long enough, you can connect a standard garden hose (purchased separately) to the drainage port for continuous draining.
