Drainage Options

Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal: manual emptying of the water tank or continuous drainage.

1. Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

• The unit has a 1.59 Gallon (2.2 L) water tank.
• When the tank is full, the "Full" indicator light will illuminate, and the dehumidifier will automatically stop operating to prevent overflow.
• Carefully pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
• Empty the collected water.
• Slide the empty water tank back into the unit until it clicks into place. The dehumidifier will resume operation.

2. Continuous Drainage

• For continuous operation without emptying the tank, use the included drainage hose.
• Locate the drainage outlet on the back of the unit.
• Remove the rubber stopper from the drainage outlet.
• Connect one end of the drainage hose to the outlet.
• Ensure the other end of the hose is placed in a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket) and that the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
• Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked.

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
