Self-Evaporating System:

Image: A diagram illustrating the 72-hour Zero-Drain Technology, showing how condensate water is evaporated and dispersed onto the condenser, reducing the need for manual drainage. It differentiates between "No Drainage Required" (RH ≤ 90%) and "Drainage Required" (Dry mode/High humidity).
Drainage (if required):
In high humidity conditions or when using the dehumidifier mode, the unit may require drainage. Connect the provided drainage hose to the drainage port at the back of the unit and direct it to a suitable drain or collection container.
