2. Setup

2.1 Initial Placement

• Place the dehumidifier on a flat, stable surface.
• Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
• The unit is designed for areas up to 1500 sq.ft, making it suitable for basements, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before initial use if it was not stored upright.

2.2 Power Connection

• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Ensure the voltage matches the unit's requirements (120V).

2.3 Drainage Options

Your Dravonic dehumidifier offers two convenient drainage methods:

1. Manual Drainage (Water Tank):
   • The unit features a 0.4-gallon (21 pints/day capacity) removable water tank.
   • When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off, and an indicator light will illuminate.
   • Carefully pull out the water tank, empty it, and reinsert it until it clicks into place.
2. Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose):
   • For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach the included 3.28 ft drain hose to the drainage outlet on the back of the unit.
   • Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a floor drain or suitable receptacle.
