Cautions when using the unit with continuous drainage
This dehumidifier is for home use. If you use it with continuous drainage, make sure to check the unit at least once every 2 weeks for
a dirty filter or clogged drain hose.

freeze causing water to spill and wet the floor and the unit.
Cover the end of the hose with netting to prevent insects from entering.
