1. Manual Drainage (Water Tank):

• The unit is equipped with a 1.3-gallon (5.5-liter) water tank.
• When the tank is full, the dehumidifier will beep and automatically shut off to prevent overflow.
• Carefully remove the water tank, empty the collected water, and reinsert it correctly. The unit will resume operation.

2. Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose):

• For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, attach the included 3.9 ft drain hose.
• Insert the hose into the drainage hole at the bottom of the water tank compartment.
• Ensure the hose is directed downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) to allow gravity to facilitate water flow.
