Package Contents

Verify that all items are included in the package:

• KNKA Dehumidifier PD22SC (1 unit)
• User Manual (1 copy)
• 1-meter Drain Hose (1 unit)

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Positioning: Place the dehumidifier on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around the air inlets and outlets for optimal airflow.
3. Initial Standby: After transport, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle, ensuring proper and reliable operation.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Drainage Setup (Choose one):
   • Water Tank Drainage: Ensure the 3.3L water tank is correctly inserted into the unit. The unit will automatically stop operation when the tank is full and alert you.
   • Continuous Drainage: For continuous operation without emptying the tank, connect the supplied 1-meter drain hose to the continuous drainage port at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow water to drain by gravity into a suitable receptacle or floor drain.
