The unit should only be used indoors in such areas
as a living room or bedroom. Never use it outdoors.
Make sure doors and windows are closed before
using the appliance.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a location for your dehumidifier, on a flat/
level surface, about 10 cm away from the wall.
2. Place unit on a stable and flat floor surface. If
the floor surface is not even, there is a risk the
unit might be unstable or topple over. Also, it
may result in excessive vibration and noise.
3. Plug the power cord into electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug unit into an appropriate electrical outlet.
The unit will beep 3 times.
2. To start the unit, turn the knob to the desired
humidity level. You may adjust the humidity to a
level between 30% and 80% relative humidity.
3. To turn the unit off, turn the knob to “Off”.
Humidity Control
If the unit humidity level sensor detects humidity
levels in the environment that are lower than the
selected humidity level, the compressor will shut off
and the fan will work on low speed. The humidity
level of the environment must be higher than the
humidity level selected in order for the unit to start
operating again.
Automatic Defrosting
If the room temperature drops down to 16°C or
lower, the unit’s temperature sensor will turn the
compressor to off for 10 minutes. The defrost light
will go on. The unit will resume operation for 40
minutes. If the temperature is still below 16° C then
the unit will keep defrosting until the temperature has
risen above 16° C or turn off.
Water Full Protection and Auto-Shutoff
When the tank is full, the unit will sound an alarm
beeping 10 times (for about 5 seconds). The tank
full light will go on and the unit will shut off
automatically. This indicates that it is time to empty
the tank before using the unit again. Once the empty
tank is placed back into the unit, it will take up to
3 minutes for the dehumidifier compressor to work
again. This is a protection feature. If you wish to
restart the unit without waiting, unplug it from the
electrical outlet and plug it in again.
Water Drip Protection
When the tank is removed for emptying, this device
will keep the condensed water that continues to
drip. Once the tank is placed back in the unit, it will
release this water into the tank.
Continuous Drainage
For added user convenience, this dehumidifier
includes a hose that can be attached to it to operate
with continuous drainage. To use it, simply remove
the drain plug located in the back of the unit and
connect the PVC hose. Find a suitable location for
the unit where the open end of the hose can drain
the outgoing water into an appropriate receptacle
or outside of your home, far enough away from the
foundation to ensure proper drainage. The unit will
now direct water from the bypass port and through
the hose, rather than into the tank.
NOTE: Please make sure to place the open end
of the hose flat on the ground ensuring it is not
entangled.
CAUTION: The drain hose must be below the drain
plug in order for the unit to drain properly.
NOTE: To help prevent leakage, you should use a
marker to denote the location where the hose meets
the housing on the rear of the unit. Periodically check
to make sure this indicator has not moved away from
the housing to ensure that your hose will not leak.
Leakage inside the unit will fall into the tank. If this
happens you must empty the tank.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
2. Carefully remove tank to empty it. Rinse the tank
with warm water.
3. Use a soft clean cloth to wipe the unit. Do not
use gasoline, paint thinner or other cleaning
products to clean the unit.
4. To clean the mesh filter, carefully remove the
filter and clean it with a vacuum cleaner or rinse
with cool water. Place it in a well-ventilated
location and allow to dry before replacing filter
into unit.
NOTE: Do not expose unit to direct sunlight.
