Setup
1. Placement
Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in a location where the ambient temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or rise above 95°F (35°C). Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
2. Power Connection

3. Drainage Options
Your AIRPLUS dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:
Image: Illustration of the two drainage options: continuous drainage using the included hose and manual emptying of the removable water tank.
A. Manual Drainage (Water Tank)
- The dehumidifier will collect moisture in its internal water tank.
- When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate.
- Carefully pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
- Empty the collected water and slide the tank back into place until it clicks securely.
B. Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)
- For continuous operation without emptying the tank, attach the included drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit.
- Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water to a suitable floor drain or larger container.
- Make sure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
