4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Operation

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the dehumidifier. The digital display will show the current room humidity.
2. Press the Humidity Setting button to set your desired humidity level. The recommended range is 40% to 60% Relative Humidity (RH). The unit will operate until the set humidity is reached, then cycle on and off to maintain it.

4.2.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

• When the 1.3-gallon water tank is full, the dehumidifier will beep and automatically shut off. The "Full" indicator light will illuminate.
• Carefully remove the water tank from the back of the unit.
• Empty the collected water.
• Reinsert the empty water tank firmly into the unit. The dehumidifier will resume operation automatically.

4.2.2 Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)

• For continuous operation without emptying the water tank, attach the included drain hose to the continuous drain outlet located at the bottom of the water tank area.
• Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water to a suitable floor drain or larger container.
• Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose to ensure proper drainage.

4.3.4 Automatic Defrost

• The dehumidifier is equipped with defrost sensors. If the coil temperature drops below 45°F (7°C), the unit will automatically enter defrost mode to prevent ice buildup.
• During defrost, the compressor will turn off, and the fan will continue to run to melt the ice. The "Defrost" indicator light may illuminate.
• Operation will resume automatically once defrosting is complete.

4.3.5 Silent Mode (Sleep Mode)

• While not explicitly a button, selecting a lower fan speed and setting the desired humidity can achieve a quieter operation, around 42dB, suitable for bedrooms. The display can also be set to turn off for minimal disturbance.
