For extended operation without emptying the bucket, you can set up continuous drainage:
- Vind die deurlopende dreinpoort aan die agterkant van die eenheid.
- Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the drain port. Ensure a tight connection to prevent leaks.

The 'Check Filter' light will illuminate after a certain period of operation, indicating the filter needs cleaning. A clean filter ensures efficient operation.
- Skakel die ontvochtiger af en koppel dit uit.

- Was die filter met warm seepwater. Spoel deeglik af.
