- Air Purification: During operation, the integrated air purification function helps to filter out larger particles like pet hair, lint, and dust from the air.
- Automatic Shut-off: The dehumidifier is equipped with an overflow protection system. When the water tank reaches its maximum capacity (700 ml), the unit will automatically switch off, and the indicator light may change color or flash (refer to specific model indicator details if available, otherwise assume it turns off).
- Power Off: To turn off the device, press the power button again. The indicator light will turn off.
