5.6 Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The collected water accumulates in the 2.5 L (0.66 Gal) removable water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and the 'FULL' indicator will light up. Carefully remove the tank, empty the water, and reinsert it correctly to resume operation.
- Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For extended use without frequent emptying, attach the included 6.56 ft drain hose to the continuous drain port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) ensuring it is sloped downwards for gravity drainage.
