1. Gently pull out the water tank from the back of the dehumidifier.
2. Remove the tank cover and pour out the collected water.
3. Replace the tank cover and slide the empty water tank back into the dehumidifier until it clicks into place. Ensure it is correctly seated to resume operation.

2. Unplug the lower corner plug of the water tank and save the plug for future use if you wish to revert to manual drainage.
3. Insert one end of the drain hose into the drainage hole of the water tank.
4. Ensure the other end of the hose is placed in a suitable drain or container, positioned lower than the dehumidifier to allow gravity drainage.
