4. Operating Instructions

Learn how to operate your dehumidifier effectively.

Power On/Off

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on or off.

Setting Desired Humidity

With the unit on, press the HUMIDITY button.
The display will show the current humidity. Use the HUMIDITY button to cycle through desired humidity levels from 40% to 80% Relative Humidity (RH).
The unit will automatically operate to maintain the set humidity level, turning off when the target is reached and restarting if humidity rises.

Using the Timer

The timer function allows you to set the unit to automatically turn on or off after a specified period (1-24 hours).

Press the TIMER button.
Use the TIMER button to select the desired number of hours.
The timer will activate after a few seconds.

Operating Modes

Humidity Mode: This is the standard operating mode where you set a target humidity. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain this level. In this mode, fan speed can be adjusted.
Drying Mode (Dry Clothes): Press the DRYING button to activate this mode. This mode provides continuous dehumidification at the highest fan speed to quickly dry clothes and remove persistent moisture. In Drying Mode, humidity and fan speed cannot be adjusted.

Automatic Defrost

The unit features an automatic defrost function. If frost builds up on the evaporator coils during operation in low temperatures (5°C - 35°C), the unit will automatically enter defrost mode to melt the frost, ensuring normal and efficient operation. This process is automatic and does not require user intervention.

5. Drainage Options

Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water drainage: manual emptying of the water tank or continuous drainage via a hose.

Water Tank Drainage (Manual)

The dehumidifier has a 2.8-liter (2800ml) water tank.
When the water tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off, emit a beep, and an indicator light will illuminate to prevent overflow.
To empty, carefully pull out the water tank, discard the collected water, and reinsert the tank firmly until it clicks into place. The unit will then resume operation.

Continuous Drainage

For extended operation without needing to empty the water tank, you can set up continuous drainage.

Locate the continuous drain outlet on the back or side of the unit.
Connect the included 3.94 ft (approximately 1.2 meter) drain hose to this outlet.
Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow water to drain by gravity into a suitable floor drain or container. Avoid kinks or blockages in the hose.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The dehumidifier is equipped with a washable mesh filter to capture large particles.
It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate and remove the air filter (typically behind the air inlet grille).
3. Wash the filter with clean water and a mild detergent.
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.

Wash the tank with clean water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
Ensure the tank is dry before reinserting it into the unit.
