Drainage
While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection and the water full
indicator will turn into red.

tank.
After empting the water tank, place the water tank into space. Make sure it is properly
positioned, in order for the 'Water Full' sign to go out and your dehumidifier is operating.
Please note, in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator
will turn into red.
Continuous drainage
When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity environment, the water tank will
require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit
up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:
1. Pull out the stopper from the
drain hole Aat the rear of the
machine ( see FIG. 1) and
connect the drain hole A with a
water tube of inner diameter 12
mm. (FIG.2)
