Operating Instructions

Power On/Off:

• Press the Power button (usually indicated by a universal power symbol) on the control panel to turn the unit ON. The indicator light will illuminate.
• Press the Power button again to turn the unit OFF.

Working Modes:

The dehumidifier supports two distinct working modes:

• Strong Mode: In this mode, the fan operates at a high level to maximize moisture removal, quickly reducing humidity in the area. This is the default or primary operating mode.
• Sleep Mode: Designed for quiet operation, the fan speed is reduced, and the noise level is less than 30dB. This mode is ideal for use in bedrooms or other areas where minimal disturbance is desired, such as during reading or sleeping.

To switch between modes, refer to the specific button on your control panel, often labeled "Mode" or integrated with the power button for sequential presses.

7-Color LED Lights:

The dehumidifier features integrated LED lights that can be customized.

• Press the Light button (often indicated by a light bulb or color wheel symbol) to cycle through the available light options.
• You can choose to have the lights rotate through all 7 colors, or you can fix it to a specific color.
• To turn off the LED lights while the dehumidifier continues to operate, press and hold the Light button for a few seconds.

Auto Shut-off Function:

For safety and convenience, the dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature.

• When the 1000ml water tank is full, the unit will automatically power off to prevent overflow.
• The indicator light will turn red and flash, signaling that the water tank needs to be emptied.

3. Remove the lid from the water tank and pour out the collected water.
4. Replace the lid securely and slide the empty water tank back into the dehumidifier until it clicks into place. The unit will resume operation automatically.

Cleaning the Unit:

• Always unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
