CONTINUOUS DRAIN:
If a drain is located near where you position your dehumidifier, a hose can be connected for continuous
draining:
When using continuous draining, remove the rubber plug very carefully from the back drain hole
and store it in a safe place so it does not get lost.
Remove the water tank first, then attach the hose onto the connector located inside the dehumidifier.
The hose should go down smoothly without bends or kinks.
Place the end of the hose into a suitable drainage facility.
When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the connector and
plug the rubber plug back into the hole.
