Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future storage or transport. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
Placement
Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the desired location. Ensure there is at least 20 cm of space around the unit for proper airflow. The dehumidifier is particularly effective in bathrooms, cellars, laundry rooms, kitchens, and poorly ventilated areas where humidity tends to accumulate. Avoid placing it directly against walls or furniture that could obstruct air circulation.
Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the power requirements of the appliance.
Continuous Drainage Setup (Optional)
For continuous operation without needing to empty the water tank, you can set up continuous drainage. Locate the drainage outlet at the back of the unit. Connect the provided hose to this outlet and direct the other end to a suitable drain or larger container. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the Power button on the control panel to turn the dehumidifier on or off.
Setting Desired Humidity
In Manual mode, use the + and - buttons to set your desired humidity level. The range is typically between 30% and 90% relative humidity. The unit will operate until the desired level is reached, then cycle on and off to maintain it.
Mode Selection
Press the Mode button to cycle through the available operating modes:
- Manual Mode: Allows you to set a specific desired humidity percentage and fan speed. The unit will automatically maintain this level.
- Sleep Mode: Operates at a very low fan speed to minimize noise, suitable for use in bedrooms or quiet environments.
- Laundry Drying Mode: Operates at maximum dehumidification capacity to quickly dry clothes. In this mode, you do not need to set a desired humidity level.
Timer Function
Press the Timer button to set an auto-on or auto-off timer. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the desired time in hours. The timer can be set for up to 24 hours.
Water Tank Full Indicator and Automatic Shut-off
When the 2-liter water tank is full, an audible signal will sound, and the unit will automatically shut off to prevent overflow. The Water Full indicator light on the control panel will illuminate. Empty the water tank and reinsert it correctly to resume operation.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Water Tank
Regularly empty and clean the water tank to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Remove the tank, discard the collected water, and rinse it with clean water. For thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the tank is completely dry before reinserting.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality. A dirty filter can reduce efficiency. Locate the air filter (usually at the back or side of the unit), remove it, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner or by rinsing it under warm water. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling.
Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
Storage
If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure the water tank is empty and clean, and the air filter is clean and dry. Coil the power cord neatly. Store the dehumidifier in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
