B) Continuous external draining
If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are unable to empty the tank
regularly, you are recommended to use the continuous drain facility.
1. Plug a plastic pipe (with an inner diameter of 9mm) to draining hole.
2. Draining tube should place lower than the draining hole to let water flow out.
Note: Water pipe cannot be too long (usually 0.6m or 1m), the height cannot
surpass the height of drainage mouth, or there will be water leakage.

Cleaning and Maintenance
-Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
-Do not use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
-Do not spray liquid insecticide or similar products as they may deform the
plastic.
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the
dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases. It is therefore good
practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the
duration and conditions of operation. For a daily use, you are recommended to clean
the filter once a week.
1. Remove the filter by sliding it downwards and wash it with tap water. (Fig.1)
2. Run a vacuum cleaner lightly over the surface of the air filter to remove dirt. If the
air filter is exceptionally dirty, wash it with warm water and s mild cleaner and dry
thoroughly. (Fig.2)

Always unplug the appliance from the power socket before performing any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a jet of water.
