- Continuous Drainage: For continuous dehumidification, connect a 13mm (0.5 inch) diameter drain hose (not included) to the continuous drainage hole and direct it to a floor drain or suitable container.
Storage:
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
- Drain all accumulated water.
- Clean the air filters.
