Drainage Options
Your AIRPLUS Dehumidifier offers two convenient drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit has a 0.8-gallon water tank. When the tank is full, the dehumidifier will beep and automatically shut off. Empty the tank and place it back correctly to resume operation.
- Continuous Drainage (Hose): For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect the included 3.9 ft (1.2m) drainage hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a suitable drain or container.
