HUMIDITY SETTING BUTTON

• The desired humidity can be set between 30-80%.

MODE SETTING BUTTON (DEHUMIDIFY MODE)

• You can choose from 4 modes using this button:
• 1) NORMAL MODE – In this mode, the desired humidity and fan speed can be set.
• 2) AUTO MODE – In this mode, the appliance automatically maintains the optimal humidity level of the room, while the fan operates at a low speed. Neither humidity nor fan speed can be set (settings are automatic).
• 3) CONTINUOUS MODE – In this mode, the appliance continuously dehumidifies while the fan operates at high speed. Neither humidity nor fan speed can be set (settings are automatic). Warning: If you select this mode, connect the drain hose (included in the package) to the appliance. If only the water tank is in the appliance, the appliance will turn off as soon as the water tank is full.
• 4) LAUNDRY DRYING MODE – This mode is for quick drying of laundry, with the fan operating at high speed. Neither humidity nor fan speed can be set (settings are automatic).

ANTI-FROST (AUTOMATIC DEFROST) FUNCTION

• If the appliance is in a room with a temperature below 18 °C, the defrosting function may automatically activate (approximately every 25 minutes for about 5-5 minutes).
• During defrosting, dehumidification and air purification may be interrupted.
• Do not switch off or unplug the appliance during defrosting.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

• ALARM – If the water tank is full or has been outside the appliance for more than 3 minutes, an audible alarm will sound, reminding you to empty and reinsert the water tank.
• AUTO STOP – If the water tank is full, removed, or incorrectly inserted, or if the room's humidity is 5% lower than set, the appliance will automatically stop dehumidifying.
• MEMORY FUNCTION – In case of a power outage, the appliance retains the last setting in its memory. Upon restarting, the appliance will turn on in the last set mode.
• WATER TANK FULL INDICATOR – If this indicator is lit, it means the water tank is full and needs to be emptied, or the water tank is outside the appliance or incorrectly inserted.

CONDENSATE REMOVAL

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

• Before emptying the water tank, first switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains.
• Do not remove the water tank immediately after switching off the appliance. Otherwise, water may drip from the appliance.
• Do not connect the drain hose to the appliance if you are using the water tank to collect condensate. If you use the drain hose, the water will drain through the hose instead of the tank.
• Grasp the water tank by both sides and carefully lift it out of the appliance. Be careful not to spill the condensate.
• When emptying, hold the water tank with one hand by the handle located on the upper part of the tank, and support the bottom with the other hand.
• Carefully place the water tank back into the appliance.

DRAINING CONDENSATE USING THE DRAIN HOSE (CONTINUOUS MODE)

• For continuous drainage, take out the drain hose, which is part of the package (length: 1 meter, outer diameter: 10 mm).
• Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains.
• Remove the water tank from the appliance.
• Connect the end of the drain hose to the appliance's outlet and place the water tank back into the appliance. Direct the other end of the hose into a larger container (bucket, bathtub, etc.) where the condensate can drain. Check that the drain hose is pointing downwards and is not blocked or damaged.
• Before removing the drain hose, prepare a container to catch any dripping water from the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Do not use volatile substances (e.g., solvents, gasoline, etc.) for cleaning, as this may damage the appliance's surface. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Cleaning the Grille and Outer Casing

• Wipe the surface of the appliance with a soft cloth. To remove dirt, use a cloth dampened with a mild, pH-neutral dish soap solution.
• Gently clean the protective grille at the air outlet with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.

Cleaning the Filters

• Clean the carbon filter and ionizer filter once a month with a vacuum cleaner.
• The lifespan of the filters is approximately 1 year – depending on the frequency of use and the environment in which the appliance is used. Spare filter codes: DF-005 and DF-006.
• Warning: Do not use the appliance without a filter. Otherwise, the evaporator will fill with dust, reducing the unit's performance.

Cleaning the Water Tank

• Use warm water to clean the water tank. In case of dirt, use a pH-neutral dish soap solution, then rinse the water tank with clean water. Clean the water tank approximately once a week to prevent the proliferation of fungi and bacteria.

Check before using the appliance:

• Ensure the air outlet is not obstructed.
• Check that the power plug and socket are in good condition.
• Ensure the air filter is clean.
• Check that the drain hose is not damaged.

Long-term Storage of the Appliance

• If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, store it according to the following instructions.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains, clean it, and wind up the power cord.
• Ensure the water tank is empty and the drain hose has been disconnected from the appliance.
• Before storage, pack the fan to protect it from dust and other contaminants.
• Store the appliance in a dry, cool place.

PURCHASE OF HEPA 13 + ACTIVE CARBON FILTER DF-015 Health Kit

• For this model, you can purchase the HEPA 13 + carbon filter DF-015 Health Kit. This filter replaces the carbon filter and ionizer filter. The filter's lifespan is approximately 1 year – depending on the frequency of use and the environment in which the appliance is used. You can clean the filter with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. The filter removes dust, mold spores, pollen, mites, and other pathogens from the air.
