Your dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:

• Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, attach the included 3.28 ft drain hose to the continuous drain port on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) to allow gravity to remove water.
