5. Drainage Options

Your OLIXIS dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal: manual tank emptying or continuous drainage.

Figure 5.1: Dual drainage options: continuous drain hose and removable water tank.

5.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. To empty the tank:

1. Gently pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
2. Carefully carry the tank to a sink or drain.
3. Pour out the collected water.
4. Slide the empty water tank back into the dehumidifier until it clicks into place. The unit will resume operation.

5.2 Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)

For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, use the included drain hose:

1. Locate the continuous drain outlet on the back or side of the dehumidifier.
2. Remove the rubber stopper (if present).
3. Connect one end of the 3.28 ft drain hose to the outlet. Ensure a secure connection.
4. Route the other end of the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water. Do not allow the hose to kink or be elevated above the drain outlet.
5. The unit will now continuously drain water, bypassing the internal tank.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.

6.1 Cleaning the Air Filter

3. Remove the filter.
4. Wash the filter with warm, soapy water, or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
