INSTALLATION
Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. A free
space of at least 2 ft (61cm) must be left at the front of the dehu-
midifier, so as not to block the air outlet. For efficient ventilation
a space of about 2-4 in (5-10 cm) should be left at the back of
the appliance. The condensate can be drained in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
a) Draining into the tank
The condensate can be drained directly into the tank. The tank
can be easily removed (Fig.1).
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 continuous draining.
1) Remove the continuous drain cap by turning it counter-
clockwise then remove the rubber stopper from the spout
2 (Fig. 2).
2) Apply the accessory tube to the spout as shown in Figure 3.
3) Make sure the end of the hose is no higher than the spout.
Otherwise the water will flow into the tank of the appli-
ance (Fig. 4).
Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
