The OLIXIS dehumidifier is designed for areas up to 3,500 sq. ft. and is suitable for basements, bedrooms, living rooms, and other spaces prone to high humidity.
Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the unit.
Drainage Options
Your dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Manual Drainage (Water Tank): The unit collects water in its internal 4.5-liter (1.19-gallon) water tank. When the tank is full, the unit will automatically shut off and an indicator light will illuminate. Carefully remove and empty the tank, then reinsert it securely.
- Continuous Drainage (Drain Hose): For continuous operation without manual emptying, attach the included 3.3-foot drain hose to the continuous drain port on the back of the unit. Route the hose to a suitable floor drain or larger container, ensuring the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
Operating Instructions
Turning On/Off
Press the POWER button to turn the dehumidifier on or off.
Setting Desired Humidity Level
Press the ADJ button to adjust the target humidity level. The humidity can be set between 30% RH and 80% RH in 5% increments. The unit will operate until the ambient humidity reaches the set level, then cycle on and off to maintain it.

Operating Modes
Press the MODE button to cycle through the available operating modes:
- Auto Mode: The unit intelligently adjusts fan speed and operation based on the ambient humidity to maintain the set target.
- Drying Mode: Designed for continuous high-power dehumidification, ideal for drying clothes or very damp areas.
- Sleep Mode: Operates at a lower fan speed and reduced noise level for quiet nighttime operation. The display lights may dim.
- Air Purification Mode: Activates the air purification function, reducing airborne contaminants.
Fan Speed Adjustment
Press the High / Low button to switch between high and low fan speeds.
Timer Function
Press the TIMER button to set an auto-on or auto-off time from 0 to 24 hours. Press repeatedly to adjust the desired duration.
Swing Function
Press the SWING button to activate or deactivate the 75° vertical oscillation of the air outlet, ensuring even air distribution.
Child Lock
To activate the child lock, press and hold the Air Purification / Child Lock button for 3 seconds. This will prevent accidental changes to settings. Repeat the action to unlock.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The dehumidifier is equipped with a washable air filter. A dirty filter can reduce efficiency and airflow. It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Locate and remove the air filter from the back or side of the unit.
- Wash the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
Emptying the Water Tank
If not using continuous drainage, the water tank will need to be emptied when full. The unit will stop operating and an indicator will light up.
- Gently pull out the water tank from the front of the unit.
- Carefully carry the tank to a sink or drain and empty the collected water.
- Rinse the tank with clean water if necessary.
- Reinsert the empty tank firmly into the unit until it clicks into place. The unit will resume operation.
Cleaning the 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.
