5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Temperature Setting

1. Turn the control knob. The temperature icon on the display will flash.
2. Press the knob once. The temperature number will flash.
3. Rotate the knob to set the desired drying temperature (range: 45℃-65℃).

5.2 Time Setting

1. Turn the control knob. The time icon on the display will flash.
2. Press the knob once. The time number will flash.
3. Rotate the knob to set the desired drying time (range: 0-24 hours).

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the dryer box with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the dryer box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Filament Storage: For best results, store filaments in a sealed container with desiccant packs when not actively drying or printing.

7. Troubleshooting

• Filament still exhibiting moisture issues (stringing, bubbles, poor adhesion) after drying:
  Ensure the correct temperature and sufficient drying time were selected for your specific filament type. Refer to the recommended settings table. The minimum humidity display value is fixed at 15%; this does not mean the filament is not fully dry.
• Dryer box not heating:
  Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Verify that the temperature setting is above the ambient temperature.
• Display not working:
  Ensure the device is powered on. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
