4.4 Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water collection:
A. Manual Water Tank Drainage
The dehumidifier will collect moisture into its 95oz (2.8L) water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off, and the water full indicator will illuminate. You will need to manually empty the tank.
Figure 4.1: Manual Water Tank Emptying
This image demonstrates the steps for manually emptying the water tank: pull out the tank, remove the cover, pour out the collected water, then replace the cover and reinsert the tank into the dehumidifier.
B. Continuous Drainage with Drain Hose
For continuous operation without needing to empty the water tank, you can connect the included drain hose.
- Locate the drain outlet at the back of the unit.
- Remove the rubber plug from the drain outlet.
- Firmly attach one end of the drain hose to the drain outlet.
- Route the other end of the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., sink, floor drain), ensuring it is lower than the dehumidifier's drain outlet for gravity flow.
Figure 4.2: Drain Hose Connection
This image illustrates the two steps for connecting the drain hose: first, unplug the lower corner plug of the water tank, and second, insert the drain hose into the drain hole of the water tank for continuous drainage.
