Installation

- Place the unit on a flat, stable surface near a window.
- Attach the exhaust duct to the air outlet on the back of the unit.
- Install the window panel kit into your window opening. The panel is extendable from approximately 94cm to 127.5cm to fit various window sizes.
- Connect the other end of the exhaust duct to the opening in the window panel. Ensure a tight seal to prevent hot air from re-entering the room.
- For continuous dehumidification, connect the drain pipe to the drainage outlet and direct it to a suitable container or drain.

Drainage
The unit features an automatic evaporation function that reduces the need for frequent manual drainage. However, for continuous dehumidification or in very humid conditions, manual drainage or continuous drainage via the drain pipe may be necessary.
- When the internal water tank is full, the unit will alert you and stop operation to prevent overflow.
