PARTS DESCRIPTION

FRONT

The front view of the dehumidifier shows the Air Outlet Grille at the top, the Control Panel below it, the Water Tank in the lower front section, and Casters at the base for mobility.

REAR

The rear view of the dehumidifier shows a Handle at the top, an Air Filter compartment, and an Air Inlet (also with an Air Filter) on the side. A Continuous Drainage Port is located on the lower side.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE CORRECTLY

This unit may have been tilted or placed upside down during shipping. To ensure this device works properly, please ensure this unit is upright for at least 24 hours before initial use.

This dehumidifier is designed to operate with a working environment between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).

When using the dehumidifier, other objects surrounding the machine should be kept at a distance of at least 7.9 inches (20cm). A diagram illustrates the dehumidifier placed in a room, with a minimum clearance of 7.87 inches (20cm) from surrounding walls or objects on all sides.

CONTROL PANEL

The control panel features several buttons and an indicator light:

FULL TANK Indicator Light: A light symbol (?) that illuminates when the water tank is full.
SPEED Button: A fan symbol (?) to adjust fan speed.
TIMER Button: A clock symbol (⏱️) to set the timer.
SETTING Button: A gear symbol (⚙️) for humidity settings.
POWER Button: A power symbol (⏻) to turn the unit on/off.

1. Power Button

Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off.

2. Humidity Setting

The humidity level can be set within a range of 30%RH to 80%RH in 5% increments.

When the unit starts to work, it will first automatically detect and show the humidity (and temperature) in the room. You can then press or hold the Setting Button to change the humidity selection in 5% increments. (After you set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual humidity.)
When the room humidity level overtakes or drops to the level you set, the dehumidifier will automatically start working or stop.
When the humidity level is set at 30%RH, the dehumidifier will be in CONTINUOUS dehumidifying mode.

3. Timer Setting

The TIMER function enables users to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit for 1 to 24 hours. When the unit is running, selecting TIMER will turn the unit off after the set hours (Delay Stop). When the unit is off, TIMER will turn the unit on after the selected hours (Delay Start).

TIMER setting: Press or hold the Timer Button to change the delay timer at 1-hour increments, up to 24 hours. After TIMER setting is finished, the control panel will display the remaining time (e.g., 8, 7, or 6 hours) until the unit starts or stops.

If the TIMER button is pressed again, the control panel will display the room temperature and humidity value as before. Adjusting the TIMER setting to 00 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.

For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as the previous setting.

NOTE

Before entering TIMER setting, make sure power is being supplied to the unit.
Before entering TIMER setting, make sure you press the Setting Button to set a desired room humidity first.

4. Speed Button

Control the fan speed. Press to select either High or Normal fan speed. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

Set the speed to high for maximum removal initially. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is preferred, you can return the speed to Normal.

5. FULL TANK Indicator Light

When the tank is full, the light will flash and the machine will automatically shut off. After the water in the tank is emptied, put the tank back in place, then the indicator will go out, and the machine will restart.

Action Description

Power on:

Compressor starts after the fan works for a few seconds.

Power off:

Compressor shuts down at once, and the fan will stop after a few seconds. (When other malfunctions occur, or the humidity reaches the desired level, the fan will stop after tens of seconds).

Tips:

The compressor features a "3 minutes delay protection" function — While the dehumidifier is powered, the compressor can only start again three minutes after its last shutdown.

Faults & Protection Codes:

Fault Phenomenon	Analysis of Causes	Processing Method
Humidity always shows "25% RH" — but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.	Humidity sensor failure?	Set the humidity to 30%RH; the dehumidifier can still continue to work, and can be used normally. Repair and replace the humidity sensor.
Humidity always shows "99% RH" — but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.	Water on the surface of humidity sensor?	The dehumidifier is not affected and can continue to work, and can be used normally. Please let the dehumidifier keep working for a period of time; after the water on the surface of the humidity sensor is removed, it will return to normal. Repair and replace the humidity sensor.

REMOVING THE COLLECTED WATER

There are two ways to remove the collected water:

1. Use the Water Tank

When the water tank is full, remove the tank and empty it.

Step 1: Hold both sides of the water tank with both hands and pull it out gently. A diagram shows a person holding the tank from the front and pulling it out from the dehumidifier.
Step 2: Discard the collected water. A diagram shows the water tank being tilted to pour out water.
Step 3: Return the water tank to its original position. The FULL TANK indicator will go off. A diagram shows the water tank being reinserted into the dehumidifier.

NOTE

Replace the empty tank back into the unit, and once seated correctly, the unit will start up again.
You should hear a click when the tank is in the correct position.
Do not remove the float in the tank, otherwise the sensor will not be able to sense the water level properly, so that the water will overflow from the tank when it's full.

2. Continuous Draining

Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a draining hose to the dehumidifier. (It may be helpful to remove the water tank first so you can see the connection better.)

Note: The inner diameter of the draining outlet is 0.39 inches.

A diagram illustrates the rear of the dehumidifier, showing the Continuous Draining Outlet with a rubber plug, and indicating the Water Tank Draining Outlet. The continuous draining outlet is positioned higher than the water tank draining outlet.

NOTE

Make sure the connection is tight and there is no leaking.
Lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility; the drainage facility should be lower than the draining outlet of the dehumidifier.
Be sure to run the sloping water hose downward to let the water flow out smoothly.
When the continuous drainage feature is not being used, remove the draining hose from the outlet.
When on manual drainage method, insert the "rubber plug" on the continuous draining outlet to prevent water leakage.
When on continuous drainage method, use the draining hose, insert the "rubber plug" on the water tank draining outlet to prevent water leakage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

1. Clean the Water Tank

Wipe down the water tank every 2 weeks.

2. Clean the Air Filter

Pull up to remove the air filter. Clean the filter with water and a soft cloth at least once every 30 days.

Step 1: A diagram shows the air filter being pulled upwards from the top rear of the dehumidifier.
Step 2: A diagram shows the air filter being cleaned under running water and wiped with a cloth.
Step 3: A diagram shows the clean air filter being reinserted into the dehumidifier.

3. Storing the Dehumidifier

When not using the dehumidifier for a long time:

After turning off the dehumidifier, wait for one day before emptying the water tank.
Clean the main body of the dehumidifier, water tank, and air filter.
Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band.
Cover the dehumidifier with a plastic bag.
Store the dehumidifier upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.

WARNING:

Do not operate the dehumidifier without a filter. Dirt and lint will clog it and reduce its performance.
