3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your dehumidifier for first use:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier and all accessories from the packaging.

2. Connect one end of the provided drain hose to this outlet. Ensure it is tightly secured to prevent leakage.
3. Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink, large bucket). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
