2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective inserts.
- Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
2.2 Placement
- Place the dehumidifier on a level, stable surface.
- Ensure there is at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space around the unit for proper airflow.
- Do not block the air inlet or outlet.
- Avoid placing the unit near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
2.3 Drainage Options
Your AEOCKY dehumidifier offers three drainage methods:
- Water Tank (Manual Emptying): The unit collects water in its internal 1.45-gallon tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and indicate that it needs to be emptied.
- Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, connect the included drain hose to the drainage port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a floor drain or suitable receptacle. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
- Continuous Drainage (Garden Hose Adapter): For longer drainage distances, use the provided garden hose adapter. Attach the adapter to the drainage port, then connect a standard 5/8-inch garden hose (not included). Ensure the garden hose is also sloped for gravity drainage.

2.4 Power Connection
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the unit.
- The unit features a power-off memory function, allowing it to resume operation automatically after a power restoration, making it compatible with smart sockets.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Control Panel
The control panel is located on the top of the unit and features various buttons and a digital display for easy operation.

3.2 Operating Modes
- Comfort Mode: One-touch AI control automatically adjusts humidity to a comfortable range for human body.
- Constant Humidity Mode: Allows you to set a specific target humidity level (typically 40%-80% RH). The unit will operate to maintain this level.
- Continuous Mode: The unit will continuously dehumidify regardless of the ambient humidity level. This is ideal for very damp environments.
- Sleep Mode: Operates with minimal light and noise for undisturbed rest.
3.3 Setting Humidity
In Constant Humidity Mode, use the up/down arrows on the control panel to set your desired humidity percentage. The unit's intelligent system will then work to maintain this level, with millisecond-level dynamic detection and a proprietary humidity compensation algorithm ensuring accuracy.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Emptying the Water Tank
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operating and an indicator light will illuminate. To empty:
- Gently pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
- Carefully carry the tank to a sink or drain.
- Pour out the collected water.
- Return the empty tank to its position in the unit. Ensure it is securely seated to resume operation.
The unit also features a full tank ambient light, providing illumination when emptying at night.
4.2 Cleaning the Air Filter
The dehumidifier is equipped with a washable nylon filter. Regular cleaning of the filter is essential for maintaining optimal performance and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Locate and remove the air filter (typically at the back or side of the unit).
- Rinse the filter under running water to remove dust and debris. For heavy buildup, a mild detergent can be used.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
- Reinstall the dry filter into the unit.
It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

4.3 General Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents.
- Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
5. Troubleshooting
If your dehumidifier is not operating as expected, please refer to the following common issues before contacting customer support:
- Unit does not turn on:
- Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
- Ensure the water tank is properly seated and not full.
- Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
- No water collected or low dehumidification:
- Check if the air filter is clean and not obstructed.
- Ensure the room temperature and humidity are within the unit's operating range.
- Verify that windows and doors are closed to prevent outside moisture from entering.
- Check if the unit is set to the correct humidity level (if in Constant Humidity Mode).
- Unit is noisy:
- Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface.
- Check for any obstructions around the air inlet or outlet.
- Normal operating noise from the compressor and fan is expected.
- Frost on coils:
- The unit has an Intelligent Auto Defrost feature. If frost persists, ensure the room temperature is not too low for operation.
