5.1 Power On/Off

Press the POWER button to turn the dehumidifier on or off. The unit will start operating in its last used mode.

5.2 Intelligent Humidity Control

The dehumidifier monitors ambient humidity and operates automatically to maintain your desired level. When the set humidity is reached, the unit pauses to save energy and restarts if humidity levels rise again.

• Press the HUMIDITY SETTING button to adjust the target humidity level. The range is typically between 30% and 80% Relative Humidity (RH) in 10% increments.
• The display will show the current humidity level and the set target.

5.3 Operating Modes

The unit offers two intelligent operating modes:

• Comfort Mode (RU): In this mode, the dehumidifier automatically adjusts the humidity level based on the ambient temperature to provide optimal comfort and efficiency.
• Continuous Mode (CO): Allows manual adjustment of the humidity level between 30% and 80% RH, in 10% intervals. This mode is ideal for specific situations or environments with persistently high humidity where precise control is desired.

5.4 24-Hour Timer

The adjustable timer allows you to program the dehumidifier to turn on or off automatically within a 1 to 24-hour period.

• Press the TIMER button to set the desired operating duration.
• Each press increases the time by one hour.
• This function helps save energy by ensuring the unit operates only when needed.

5.5 Automatic Defrost

The unit features an intelligent automatic defrost function to prevent ice buildup on the coils, ensuring efficient operation in cooler environments.

• When the defrost indicator light illuminates, the dehumidification function temporarily pauses.
• The fan continues to operate to circulate air and melt any ice.
• Between 5°C and 12°C: The unit operates for 30 minutes, then defrosts for 10 minutes.
• Between 12°C and 16°C: The unit operates for 45 minutes, then defrosts for 10 minutes.
• Once defrosting is complete, normal dehumidification resumes automatically.

5.6 Water Tank Full Indicator & Auto Shut-off

The dehumidifier is equipped with an intelligent level sensor. When the 2L water tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off to prevent overflow, and the 'Tank Full' indicator light will illuminate.
