Setup
Unpacking
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any protective films or tapes.
- Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact your retailer.
Placement
- Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface to prevent vibrations and ensure proper water collection.
- Ensure at least 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around the air inlets and outlets for proper airflow and efficient operation.
- Avoid placing the unit near heat sources (e.g., radiators, ovens) or in direct sunlight, as this can affect performance.
- For optimal dehumidification, position the unit in the center of the room or area requiring humidity control.
Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (230V ~ 50Hz). Ensure the outlet is easily accessible.
Continuous Drainage (Optional)
For continuous operation without the need to manually empty the water tank, you can connect a drain hose (not included) to the drain connection port. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a suitable receptacle or floor drain. Refer to the diagram in the full manual for the exact location of the drain port.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your dehumidifier. Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before performing any maintenance tasks.
Emptying the Water Tank

- Empty the collected water into a sink or drain.
- Reinsert the tank firmly until it clicks into place. The unit will automatically resume operation if the power is on and the humidity setting requires it.
Cleaning the Anti-dust Filter
The anti-dust filter is reusable and washable, and regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining air quality and unit efficiency.
- Locate and remove the filter (typically found at the back or side of the unit).
- Wash the filter with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently scrub if necessary to remove accumulated dust.
- Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
- Clean the filter every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and ambient air quality.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
Storage
If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure the water tank is empty and clean, and the anti-dust filter is clean and dry. Store the dehumidifier in an upright position in a cool, dry place, protected from dust.
