3. Setup Instructions
3.1 Unpacking and Initial Placement
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Place the unit upright on a firm, level surface.
- Allow the dehumidifier to stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This ensures the compressor oil settles, preventing potential damage.
- Ensure there is at least 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around all sides of the unit for proper airflow. Do not place it against walls or furniture that could obstruct air circulation.
3.2 Drainage Options
The AEOCKY BOREAS-001 offers three drainage methods:
Illustration of the three available drainage options for the dehumidifier.
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit collects water in its internal 2.7L water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove the tank and empty the collected water. Reinsert the tank securely to resume operation.
- Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, connect the included 2-meter (78.74 inch) drain hose to the continuous drainage port on the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water into a suitable floor drain or container.
- Garden Hose Drainage (with Adapter): For customized drainage length, use the included 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) garden hose adapter. Attach the adapter to the continuous drainage port, then connect a standard garden hose (not included). Ensure the garden hose is also sloped for gravity drainage. If there are gaps after connecting, use thread seal tape to reinforce the connection.
