2. Setup Guide
2.1 Unpacking and Initial Placement
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain all packing materials for future transport or storage.
- Place the unit upright on a flat, stable surface. Unlike some other models, the LEO-Lite does not require a 24-hour waiting period before initial use.
- Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
- The unit comes with factory-equipped swivel casters for easy movement.
2.2 Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the unit.
2.3 Drain Hose Installation (Continuous Drainage)
The unit offers three drainage options: using the water tank, connecting a drain hose, or connecting a garden hose with an adapter. For continuous operation, use the drain hose:
- Locate the drain outlet on the back of the unit.
- Connect the provided drain hose to the drain outlet. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.
- Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow for gravity drainage. The dehumidifier does not have a built-in pump.
- If using a garden hose, attach the provided garden hose adapter to the unit first, then connect your garden hose.
