When used with a drain hose

• By attaching the supplied drain hose, the water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain. Alternatively, other hoses can be used. ( inner diameter 0.35 inch)
• At the back you will find the water outlet. Remove the plug.
• Attach one end of the drain hose to the drain hole.
• Direct the other end of the scarf to a drain.
• ATTENTION! The drain must be in a lower position than the water outlet of the appliance. Do not place the appliance on the floor and guide the hose upwards!
• If you use a drain hose that is not included in the scope of delivery, pay attention to the length of the hose. It must not be too long, as the water will run off and not be pumped out.

Note:

• Make sure that the hose connection is tight.
• Make sure that the water hose is inclined downwards and has no kinks so that the water can drain off.
• When draining the water via the hose into an external water tank, do not dip the other end into the already drained water.
• To improve the water drainage process, place the appliance in an elevated position.
• Use a short hose. If the hose is too long, there is a possibility that the water will not drain completely. Standing water in the hose can lead to mould.
• When the drain is not in use, remove the drain hose from the outlet and close it again. The water will then run back into the internal water tank.

Maintenance

• For maintenance of the unit, switch off the unit and disconnect it from the Power Outlet.
• When the dehumidifier is not in use, it should be disconnected from the mains supply.
• Use water and mild detergents for cleaning. Do not use bleach or abrasives to clean the appliance.
• Only use a damp cloth for cleaning. The dehumidifier must not be exposed to water jets or splashing water, as this can lead to poorer insulation or damage to the electronics.
• To clean the air inlet and outlet openings, use a soft brush or paintbrush.

Clean the water tank regularly to avoid mould in the humidifier.|
---|---
Clean the plastic surface of the unit carefully with a damp cloth and use only very mild cleaning agents and no abrasives or bleach to avoid scratches or damage.|
Clean the filter frame with warm water at least every 2 weeks.|

Cleaning the Filter
