6.2 Operating Modes

• Auto Mode: The dehumidifier automatically adjusts its operation based on the ambient humidity to maintain a comfortable level. You can set a target humidity.
• One-Time Mode: This exclusive mode is designed for energy efficiency. Once the desired humidity level is reached, the unit will automatically shut off and remain off until manually restarted or a significant humidity increase is detected. This mode can save up to 20% energy compared to traditional continuous operation.
• Comfort Mode: Operates at a reduced fan speed and compressor intensity to minimize noise, maintaining a comfortable humidity level (approx. 35 dB). Ideal for bedrooms or living areas.
• Continuous Mode: The unit operates continuously regardless of the ambient humidity level. This mode is suitable for very damp environments or for drying clothes. It is recommended to use continuous drainage in this mode.

6.3 Setting the Timer

The timer function allows you to set the unit to automatically turn ON or OFF after a specified period (1-24 hours).

1. Press the TIMER button.
2. Use the Up/Down arrows to select the desired number of hours.
3. The timer will activate after a few seconds if no further input is received.

7. Drainage Options

Your Woleix dehumidifier offers two methods for water removal:

7.1 Manual Drainage (Water Tank)

• When the water tank is full, the "Tank Full" indicator light will illuminate, and the unit will automatically stop operating.
• Carefully pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
• Empty the collected water.
• Slide the empty water tank back into its position until it clicks securely. The unit will resume operation.

7.2 Continuous Drainage

For extended operation without needing to empty the water tank, you can use the continuous drainage option.

1. Locate the continuous drain outlet on the back of the unit.
2. Remove the rubber stopper (if present).
3. Connect the provided 1-meter drain hose to the outlet. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.
4. Route the other end of the hose to a suitable drain point (e.g., floor drain, large bucket). Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity to drain the water. Do not allow the hose to be kinked or elevated above the drain outlet.
5. The unit will now continuously drain water, bypassing the internal tank.

8. Maintenance

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

8.1 Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Turn off the dehumidifier and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter cover (usually at the back or side of the unit).
3. Remove the filter.
4. Wash the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not expose to direct sunlight or high heat.
6. Reinstall the dry filter and close the cover.

Note: A dirty filter can reduce the unit's efficiency and lead to increased energy consumption.

8.2 Cleaning the Unit Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
