Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unpack the Dehumidifier: Carefully remove the dehumidifier and all accessories from its packaging.
2. Placement: Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the desired location. Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around all sides of the unit for proper airflow. Avoid placing it directly against a wall or in a confined space.
3. Allow to Settle: After transportation, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage.

Drainage Options

Your Kesnos dehumidifier offers two convenient drainage methods:

• Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit collects moisture in its internal 1.42-gallon water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and indicate that it needs to be emptied. Carefully remove the tank, empty the collected water, and reinsert it securely.
• Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect the included 3.3-ft drain hose to the continuous drainage outlet on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water. A standard garden hose (not included) can also be used for extended length.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your dehumidifier.

• Filter Cleaning: The washable and reusable filter should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every two weeks or as needed depending on usage and air quality). To clean, remove the filter from the unit, rinse it under running water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
• Water Tank Cleaning: Periodically clean the water tank to prevent mold and mildew growth. Use a mild detergent and water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure it's dry before placing it back into the unit.
