5.2 Water Drainage
The unit has a self-evaporation system, which typically eliminates the need for manual draining in most conditions. However, in high humidity environments or during prolonged dehumidifier operation, the internal water tank may fill up and require draining.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Locate the drain port at the bottom rear of the unit.
- Place a shallow pan or tray beneath the drain port.
- Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.
- For continuous drainage (e.g., in Dehumidifier mode), connect a suitable drain hose (not always included, check accessories) to the drain port and direct it to a floor drain or larger container.
