Safety Instructions
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
- Ensure the power supply voltage matches the rating label on the appliance (220-240V).

- Do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
- Unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- This appliance uses R-290 refrigerant, which is a natural gas with low environmental impact. Handle with care and ensure proper ventilation.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the room where moisture removal is desired. Ensure there is at least 20cm of space around all sides for proper airflow. Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V).
- Water Tank: Ensure the 2-liter water tank is correctly inserted into the unit. The unit will not operate if the tank is full or incorrectly positioned.
- Continuous Drainage (Optional): For continuous operation without emptying the tank, connect the provided drain hose to the continuous drainage outlet on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage into a suitable receptacle.
