4. Setup
4.1 Placement
Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
4.2 Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the requirements of the unit (refer to specifications).
4.3 Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit will collect water in its internal 2.8-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. You will need to manually empty the tank.
- Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, attach the included drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket) ensuring it is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
Press the Power button to turn the dehumidifier on or off.
5.2 Setting Desired Humidity (HUM)
Press the HUM button to adjust the desired humidity level. The display will show the target humidity. The unit will operate until the ambient humidity reaches this level, then cycle on and off to maintain it.
5.3 Selecting Operating Mode (MODE)
Press the MODE button to cycle through the available modes:
- Dehumidification Mode: Standard operation to remove moisture from the air.
- Drying Mode: Designed to dry clothes more quickly by providing continuous airflow and dehumidification.
- Air Supply Mode: The fan operates without the dehumidifying function, circulating air like a fan.
5.4 Adjusting Fan Speed (SPEED)
Press the SPEED button to select the desired fan speed: Low, Medium, or High. Higher speeds result in faster dehumidification but may produce more noise.
5.5 Timer Function (TIMER)
Press the TIMER button to set a delayed start or stop time. You can program the unit to turn on or off after a specified number of hours, allowing for convenient unattended operation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
6.1 Emptying the Water Tank
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operating and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully pull out the water tank from the front of the unit, empty the collected water, and then slide the tank back into place until it clicks securely. The unit will resume operation.
6.2 Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned regularly, approximately every two weeks or more often depending on usage and air quality. A dirty filter can reduce efficiency and airflow.
- Turn off and unplug the dehumidifier.
- Locate the air filter (refer to Figure 3.8 in Product Overview).
