3.2 Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The unit will emit a beep and the display will light up, indicating it is ready for operation.

3.3 Drainage Options

The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods: manual drainage using the water tank or continuous drainage with a hose.

3.3.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

When the 1.3-gallon water tank is full, the unit will beep and automatically shut off. The 'FULL' indicator will illuminate. Empty the water tank and place it back into the unit correctly to resume operation.

1. Gently pull out the water tank from the back of the unit.
2. Empty the collected water.
3. Slide the empty tank back into its position until it clicks securely.

3.3.2 Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose)

For continuous operation without needing to empty the water tank, use the included drain hose.

1. Locate the continuous drain port at the bottom of the water tank area.
2. Insert the provided 3.9 ft drain hose into the drain port.
3. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow water to drain by gravity into a suitable floor drain or container.
4. Verify that the connection is secure to prevent leaks.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dehumidifier on or off.

4.2 Setting Desired Humidity

When the unit is on, press the HUMIDITY button to adjust the desired humidity level. The humidity can be set between 30% RH and 80% RH in 5% increments. The unit will operate until the ambient humidity reaches the set level, then cycle on and off to maintain it.

4.3 Mode Selection

The dehumidifier offers several operating modes to suit different needs.

• Dehumidification Mode: Standard operation to reduce humidity to the set level.
• DRYING (Dry Clothes Mode): Press the DRYING button to activate. The unit will run continuously at high fan speed to quickly dry clothes.
• IONIZER Mode: Press the IONIZER button to activate the negative ion generator, which helps purify the air.
• Sleep Mode: When activated, the display lights dim, and the fan operates at a lower speed (approximately 42dB) for quieter operation during sleep.

4.4 Fan Speed Adjustment

Press the SPEED button to cycle through Low, Medium, and High fan speeds. Higher fan speeds result in faster dehumidification.

4.5 Timer Function

Press the TIMER button to set an auto-on or auto-off time from 1 to 24 hours. Each press increases the time by one hour. The timer will count down and then perform the programmed action.

4.6 Automatic Defrost

The unit is equipped with defrost sensors. If the coil temperature drops below 45°F (7°C), the unit will automatically enter defrost mode. The 'DEFROST' indicator will illuminate, and the compressor will temporarily stop while the fan continues to run to melt any ice buildup. Operation will resume automatically once defrosting is complete.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
