Setup
1. Placement
Place the dehumidifier in a location where it can operate most effectively. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper air circulation. The unit is equipped with 360° swivel wheels and a recessed side handle for easy transport.
2. Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two methods for water drainage:
- Water Tank: The unit collects water in its internal 2.5-liter water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator will alert you to empty it.
- Continuous Drainage: For extended operation without needing to empty the tank, connect the included 2-meter drain hose to the continuous drainage port. Route the hose to a suitable drain point, ensuring it is sloped downwards for gravity drainage.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the Power button to turn the dehumidifier on or off.
2. Setting Desired Humidity
Press the HUMI button to adjust the desired humidity level. The humidity can be set between 30% and 80% Relative Humidity (RH) in 5% increments. The unit will operate until the set humidity level is reached, then cycle on and off to maintain it.
3. Dehumidification Modes
Press the MODE button to cycle through the available modes:
- Normal Dehumidification Mode: Adjust the desired humidity level between 30% and 80% RH. The unit will maintain this level.
- Clothes Drying Mode: Accelerates the drying of clothes indoors by continuously running the fan and compressor at high power.
- Continuous Mode: The unit operates continuously regardless of the ambient humidity level, ideal for very damp environments.
4. Fan Speed
Press the SPEED button to select between low and high fan speeds. Higher fan speed results in faster dehumidification but may produce more noise.
5. Timer Function
Press the TIMER button to set an automatic shut-off time. You can set the timer from 1 to 24 hours. The unit will turn off automatically after the set time has elapsed.
6. Child Lock
To prevent children from accidentally changing settings, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate the child lock function. When activated, the control panel buttons will be unresponsive.

Maintenance
1. Emptying the Water Tank
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operating and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove the water tank from the unit and empty the collected water. Reinsert the tank firmly until it clicks into place.
2. Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned regularly (every two weeks or more often depending on usage) to ensure efficient operation. A dirty filter can reduce airflow and dehumidification performance.
- Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Locate and remove the air filter (refer to the product diagram for exact location).
- Clean the filter with warm, soapy water or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
- Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit.
3. Storage
If the unit will not be used for an extended period:
- Empty the water tank and ensure it is clean and dry.
- Clean the air filter.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
