5.2 Drainage
In cooling mode, condensate water is typically evaporated and expelled through the exhaust hose, eliminating the need for daily draining. However, continuous drainage is required when operating in Dehumidify (Dry) mode or in environments with high humidity (above 85%).
- To drain continuously, connect a drainage hose (not included) to the drainage port at the back of the unit.
- Ensure the hose is directed to a suitable drain or container and is positioned lower than the drainage port for gravity flow.
