Troubleshooting
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Unit not operating: Check power connection, power cord/plug damage, water container fullness, correct bucket placement, and clogged air filter.
- Device not dehumidifying: Check if room temperature is too low (below 1°C) or relative humidity is too low.
- Unit not drying quickly enough: Set to 'High' DRY MODE or LAUNDRY MODE.
- Unit works but reduces humidity insufficiently / little water in tank: Room may be too large, too many moisture sources, or blocked air filter.
- Unit blowing out warm air: This is normal, part of the dehumidification process.
- Unit is noisy: Check for blocked air filter or uneven surface.
- Fan still runs after turning unit off: Normal, fan cools internal heater for about 2 minutes.
