Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of space around the air inlet and outlet for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Drainage Connection: For continuous operation, connect the included 100 cm drain hose to the drainage outlet on the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow for automatic gravity drainage into a suitable drain or container. No manual emptying is required with this setup.
