DRAINAGE
There are two ways of removing collected water produced by the unit.
A. Manual draining: Empty the water tank manually.
B. Continuous draining: Use gravity to drain condensate water by attaching a drain hose.

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
The built-in water tank of the unit will fill up and shut the unit down once it is full. It will run again once you empty the water tank and install it properly.

1. When the tank is full, the unit will make a buzzing sound, and the “Water Full” light will turn on.
2. Press the POWER button to turn off the unit.
3. Pull out the water tank and simply slide out of the body of the dehumidifier.
4. Empty the water into an area with a drain or outside.
5. Clean the inside of the tank as well as the outside.
6. Replace the empty tank back into the unit.
7. Press the POWER button to resume operating.
8. If the Water Full light does not extinguish, check if the float is correctly in place.

Warning

1. Do not discard the magnets and plastic rivets in the tank. Otherwise, the dehumidifier cannot be started, or the machine will not automatically stop working when the water tank is full, and the condensed water overflow will damage the floor of the room.
2. Please make sure to clean the condensed water in the tank and put the tank in the original position.
3. If the water tank is dirty, please rinse it with clean water. Avoid using detergents, steel wire balls, chemical dust removers, diesel, benzene, thinners or other solvents. Otherwise, it can damage the tank and cause leaks.
4. Put the water tank in its original position. Otherwise, the indicator light will always be red and the machine cannot start working again.

Continuous drainage

1. Take out the PVC pipe, straighten the drain pipe.
2. Insert one end of the drain pipe into the drain outlet at the top of the tank and connect the other end to the bathroom, floor drain, outdoor or bucket-like container, defined drain area.

Warning

1. Please do not block the drain or drain pipe, if blocking phenomenon, condensed water will flow into the tank.
2. Please do not bend the drain pipe. The height of the drain pipe should be lower than the outlet.
3. The drain pipe must be firmly connected to the outlet.

MAINTENANCE

Note : Before cleaning and maintaining the machine, please be sure to turn off the machine and unplug the power to avoid electric shock.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks).
Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.

Switch off the unit and remove air filter
