3.2 Power Connection
Plug the dehumidifier into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The unit is designed to operate efficiently in temperatures as low as 38°F.
3.3 Drainage Options
The dehumidifier offers multiple drainage methods:
- Internal Bucket: Moisture is collected in the 17.2-pint slide-out internal bucket. The unit automatically shuts off when the bucket is full to prevent overflowing.
- Continuous Drain (Gravity): For continuous operation without emptying the bucket, connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the side of the cabinet and route it to a low-level drain.
- Built-in Pump: The internal pump allows for continuous drainage in any direction, including vertically up to 20 feet, into a sink or higher drain. This option eliminates the need for manual bucket emptying.
