- Power On/Off: Press the Power button on the control panel to turn the unit on or off.
- Smart Control Mode: The patented Ebac Smart Control™ system automatically detects when humidity levels rise and activates the dehumidifier to remove moisture. This intelligent operation helps optimize energy consumption.
- Fan Speed Settings: The unit offers 2 fan speed settings. Press the Fan Speed button to cycle between low and high speeds. Higher fan speed results in faster dehumidification.
- Air Purification Mode: Activate the air purification mode to clean the air of dust, pollen, and smoke, creating a fresher indoor environment. Refer to the control panel for the specific button.
- Boost Setting (Laundry Drying): For faster drying of laundry indoors, select the special boost setting. This mode increases the dehumidification rate to quickly remove moisture from clothes.
- Water Tank Full Indicator & Auto-Stop: When the 4-liter water tank is full, an indicator light on the LED control panel will illuminate, and the unit will automatically shut off to prevent overflow.
- Emptying the Water Tank: Carefully remove the water tank as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Dispose of the collected water. Reinsert the empty tank firmly until it clicks into place. The unit will resume operation.
- Continuous Drainage (Optional): For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, connect a suitable hose (not included) to the continuous drainage outlet (refer to the diagram in the full manual for location). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to a drain.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your dehumidifier.
- Filter Cleaning/Replacement: The unit includes a removable and replaceable filter. Check the filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the unit is used in a dusty environment.

- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
