3.4 Water Drainage Options

The dehumidifier offers two methods for water drainage:

  • Continuous Drainage: For extended use without manual emptying, connect the included drainage hose to the continuous drainage outlet on the unit. Route the hose to a suitable drain, ensuring it is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water.
