To prevent injury to the user or others and property damage, the following instructions must be followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring instructions may cause harm or damage.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Positioning: Place the unit on a firm, level surface in the area where dehumidification is needed. Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow. Do not place it against a wall or furniture that could obstruct the air intake or exhaust.
3. Initial Standby: If the unit has been tilted or inverted during transport, allow it to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to stabilize.
4. Drainage Setup:
   • Manual Drainage (Water Tank): Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted into the unit. The unit will automatically stop operating when the tank is full and indicate a 'Full Tank' alert.
   • Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without emptying the tank, connect the provided 6.56-foot drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a suitable floor drain or larger container. Avoid kinks or blockages in the hose.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
