Operating Modes

The dehumidifier offers three smart modes:

Figure 6.1: Illustration of the three operating modes: Dry, Dehu, and Cont, suitable for different environments.

• DEHU Mode (Dehumidify): Ideal for general humidity control in living spaces. In this mode, you can set your desired humidity level between 30% and 80% RH. The unit will operate until the set humidity is reached, then cycle on and off to maintain it.
• DRY Mode (Clothes Drying): Provides continuous high-power dehumidification to quickly dry clothes. Place the unit near clothes hanging on a rack for best results.
• CONT Mode (Continuous): Suitable for consistently damp areas like basements. The unit will run continuously regardless of the humidity level. This mode is best used with continuous drainage.

Press the Mode button to cycle through these options.

Setting Desired Humidity (DEHU Mode)

1. In DEHU mode, press the Humi button to adjust the target humidity level. Each press increases the setting by 5% RH, from 30% to 80%.
2. The unit will automatically turn off when the room humidity drops below the set level and restart when it rises above it.

Fan Speed Adjustment

1. Press the Speed button to toggle between High and Low fan speeds.
2. Lower fan speed results in quieter operation, while higher speed provides faster dehumidification.

2. Remove the rubber stopper from the outlet.
3. Firmly attach one end of the drain hose to the outlet.
4. Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable floor drain or large container, ensuring the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
