5.3 Drainage Setup
The unit collects condensed water during operation. There are two drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage: The internal water tank will collect water. When full, the unit will stop operating and indicate that the tank needs to be emptied. Carefully move the unit to a drain or place a shallow pan under the drain plug, then remove the plug to empty.
- Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation in high humidity, attach a drain hose (not always included, check package contents) to the continuous drain port and direct it to a floor drain or a larger container. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards for proper drainage.
