Setting Desired Humidity
Press the humidity setting button to cycle through available humidity percentage options. The unit will automatically turn off once the set humidity level is achieved and restart if the humidity rises above the set point.
Continuous Drainage
For continuous operation without emptying the water tank, connect a drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drainage outlet at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is securely attached and leads to a suitable drain, positioned lower than the outlet to allow gravity flow.
Water Tank Operation
When the 2.5-liter water tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically stop operating and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove the tank, empty the collected water, and reinsert it firmly into the unit. The dehumidifier will resume operation.

6. Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Air Filter
The dehumidifier is equipped with a washable air filter. A clean filter ensures optimal performance and air quality. It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the dehumidifier.
- Locate and remove the air filter (typically at the back or side of the unit).
- Wash the filter with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
Cleaning the Unit
Wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the surface. Ensure no water enters the internal components.
Storage
If storing the dehumidifier for an extended period, ensure the water tank is empty and clean, and the filter is clean and dry. Store the unit upright in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
