appliance to restart the dehumidifier.
DRAINAGE (CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE):
♦ If you do not want to empty the water tank every time it gets full, you can connect the
drainage pipe provided (inner diameter 9mm) to the drainage outlet (J) to drain the
water continuously.

Proceed to connect the 9mm drainage pipe to the outlet.
♦ The low end of the water pipe must be more than 10cm lower than the height of the
water outlet.
♦ The end of the pipe cannot remain in water. It is highly recommended to install it on a
place that allows the water to drain constantly.
