7. Drainage Options

Your dehumidifier offers three convenient ways to remove collected water:

7.1. Water Tank Drainage

• The unit collects water in its internal 2.11-gallon (8-liter) water tank.
• When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate.
• To empty, gently pull out the water tank from the rear of the unit using both sides.
• Carry the tank to a sink or drain and pour out the collected water.
• Slide the empty tank back into the unit until it clicks into place.

7.2. Gravity Drainage

• For continuous drainage without emptying the tank, use the provided 3.28' gravity drain hose.
• Unscrew the white outlet stopper on the back of the unit.
• Connect the gravity drain hose to the outlet. Ensure the hose is placed horizontally and free of kinks, leading to a lower drain point (e.g., floor drain).

7.3. Pump Drainage

• The built-in pump allows water to be drained upwards or over longer distances using the 16.4' pump hose.
• Connect the thin pump hose to the designated interface on the back of the unit.
• Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drain location (e.g., sink, window, up to 10 feet high).
• Press and hold the Pump button for 3 seconds to activate the pump. The pump will run for 12 minutes continuously, then shut off automatically.
• The pump can be manually activated when the water tank is full or at any time for forced drainage.
