is a minimum of 10cm of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow. We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try tot ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a fixed main socket. If it is necessary to use an extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable is at least 1 mm2. When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed when necessary for most efficient use. Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation. Please the unit away from the clothes, dryer, heater or radiator. Make sure that there is no obstruction around the air inlet and the air outlet. The position of the air inlet and outlet is as below:

illuminate. To remove the water tank, pull it out carefully from the unit. After empting the water tank, place the tank back to the unit. Make sure it is properly positioned, in order for the water full indicator light to go out and your dehumidifier is operating. Please note, in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator light will still illuminate. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, 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. Remove the water tank. Cut off the plastic cover located at drain hose outlet by a scissor. 2. Prepare the water tube (not included) with 16mm internal diameter and 1.5mm thickness. Connect to the continuous drainage hole. Ensure the water tube must be fixed securely. 3. Put the water tank back to main body. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in right place & the water tank is in correct position. NOTE : In very cold weather conditions, precaution should be taken to prevent the water tube from freezing. If it is no longer to use the continuous drainage, please follow the below procedures : 1. Remove the water tank. 2. Disconnect the water tube from the hole. 3. Put the water tank back to main unit.

electric shocks. Housing - Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the cabinet clean. Never use strong chemicals, oil-based products, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other cleaning solution.
