5.3 Drainage Options

Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:

1. Water Tank Drainage:

   The dehumidifier collects water in its internal 2-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove the tank, empty the collected water, and reinsert it securely. The unit will resume operation.

2. Continuous Drainage:

   For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect the provided drainage hose to the continuous drainage outlet on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a suitable drain or container. Do not allow the hose to be kinked or blocked.

6. Maintenance

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

6.1 Cleaning the Air Filter

• The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

• Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

6.2 Cleaning the Water Tank
