• Digital Display: Shows current humidity, settings, and status.
• Power Button (?): Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off.
• Up (+) Button: Adjusts the humidity level up in 5% RH increments.
• Down (-) Button: Adjusts the humidity level down in 5% RH increments.
• Lock (2s) Button (?): Press and hold for 2 seconds to lock/unlock the control panel.
• Lighting Button (?): Controls the LED panel light (on/off).
• Timer Button (⏱️): Initiates the auto-start and auto-stop feature.
• Speed Button (?): Controls the fan speed (High/Normal).

Operation Instructions

Setting Humidity

The humidity level can be set between 30%RH and 80%RH in 5% increments. When the unit starts, it detects and displays the current room humidity. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set the desired humidity. The display will show the setting for 5 seconds, then revert to showing the actual room humidity. The dehumidifier automatically starts working if the room humidity is higher than the set value and stops when the desired humidity is reached (indicated by a flashing "DEHUMIDIFY" icon). Setting humidity to 30%RH activates continuous dehumidifying mode.

Timer Setting

The timer function allows setting an auto-start or auto-stop time in 1-hour increments, up to 24 hours. Press the "TIMER" button to select the time. Pressing and holding the button speeds up selection. Setting the timer to "00" is considered invalid. Successful timer setup is indicated by a light (e.g., ⑭ or ⏱️). Pressing the "TIMER" button again shows the remaining time, then the current humidity.

Speed Button

Control the fan speed by pressing the Speed button. Select High for quicker moisture removal or Normal for quieter operation when humidity is reduced.

Light Function Setting

Press the "Light" button to turn the LED panel backlight on or off. When the light function is on, only the "Power" and "Lighting" buttons may remain illuminated, with other backlight indicators off.

LOCK (2s)

Press and hold the "LOCK" button for 2 seconds to lock all other buttons on the control panel. Press and hold again for 2 seconds to unlock.

Power Off Memory Function

• The device automatically restores its working state after power is restored following an interruption.
• If the device was turned on and experienced a power interruption, it will retain previous setup parameters upon restart.
• If the device was turned off and experienced a power interruption, it will remain in the power-off status when turned back on.

Overflow Protection

When the water tank is full, the "WATER FULL" indicator light will flash, and the machine will automatically shut down until the tank is emptied and replaced. After emptying and replacing the tank, the indicator light will turn off, and the machine will restart.

Caution: Ensure the water tank is placed correctly to prevent false water full alarms.

Auto Defrost Feature

When the dehumidifier operates at lower temperatures, it automatically detects and removes frost. The fan runs at high speed during defrosting, and a defrosting symbol appears on the LED screen.

Display Status Description

• Standby Status: Only the "POWER" light is on.
• Timer Status: The TIMER indicator (e.g., ⑭ or ⏱️) lights up if the timer is set, flashes if checked/reset, and turns off on unsuccessful setup.
• Lighting Status: The Lighting button (?) is on, but other backlight indicators are off.
• Fan Speed: High-speed indicator (e.g., FAST ?) lights up for high speed; Low-speed indicator (e.g., SLOW ?) lights up for normal speed.
• Dehumidification: The DEHUMIDIFY indicator lights up when the machine is actively dehumidifying.
• Water Full: The WATER FULL indicator (e.g., ?⬆️) flashes when the water tank is full.
• Lock: The LOCK indicator (?) lights up when the control panel is locked.
• Normal Operation: The digital display shows the current room humidity (e.g., "88").

Instructions for Drying Clothes

The dehumidifier can be used to dry clothes in rainy weather.

1. Step 1: Hang washed clothes in a small space like a cloakroom, bathroom, or storage room. Keep the unit away from water drips from the clothes.
2. Step 2: Set the dehumidifier's humidity level to 30%RH. For best results, direct the air outlet towards the clothes.

The drying effectiveness depends on the thickness and quantity of clothes, and the size of the space. Drier results are typically achieved with fewer, thinner clothes and a smaller space. The drying process usually takes 3-8 hours. Continuous drainage mode is recommended for drying clothes.

Common Faults & Processing Methods

This section provides troubleshooting steps for common issues. If problems persist after exhausting these steps, contact Waykar Customer Service.

Empty The Water Tank

Two methods are available for removing collected water.

Use The Water Tank

When the water tank is full, the "WATER FULL" indicator will light up, and the dehumidifier will automatically shut down until the tank is emptied and replaced.

Ways to Empty the Water Tank

1. Pull the water tank out from the bottom with both hands.
2. Open the cover of the water tank.
3. Invert the water tank to empty the water.
4. Close the cover of the water tank.
5. Place the water tank back in its position. The "WATER FULL" indicator will go out.

[Diagram Description: A sequence of five illustrations showing the steps to remove, empty, and replace the water tank.]

Note on Water Tank Care

• Do not remove the float from the water tank, as this may prevent the sensor from accurately detecting the water level, potentially leading to overflow.
• If the water tank is dirty, clean it with cold or warm water only. Do not use detergents, steel wool, chemically treated cloths, gasoline, benzene, thinner, or other solvents, as these can damage the tank and cause leaks.
• When replacing the water tank, ensure it is pressed firmly into place. Improper placement may affect the operation of sensors and overflow protection.

Continuous Drainage

To set up continuous drainage: Pull out the power supply, remove the water tank, open the draining cap, insert a water hose into the continuous drainage port, and then replace the water tank. Connect the power supply to start. The water hose outlet must be positioned more than 3.9 inches lower than the continuous drainage port and must not be bent. (Note: The diameter of the continuous drainage port is 0.63 inches.)

[Diagram Description: Two illustrations showing how to open the drainage cap and insert the water hose into the continuous drainage port. A third illustration shows the location of the Continuous Drainage Port and Water Tank.]

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Turn off and unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning.

A - Cleaning the Dehumidifier Body

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior.

B - Cleaning Filter

1. Pull out the filter.
2. Clean the filter: Use a vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust. For very dirty filters, clean with warm water and mild detergent, then dry completely.
3. Slowly reinsert the filter into the machine body.

[Diagram Description: Three illustrations showing the filter removal and cleaning process.]

C - Dehumidifier Storage

If storing the dehumidifier for an extended period:

1. Empty the water from the water tank.
2. Roll up and secure the power cord.
3. Clean the filter.
4. Store the machine in a cool, dry environment.

Safety Note

• 1. When using, do not place the machine on soft or uneven ground; avoid vibration and movement.
• 2. Do not insert thin rods or hard objects into the machine body to prevent malfunction and danger.
• 3. When using, keep the machine away from heating furnaces, electric kettles, and other heat sources.
• 4. When using, close doors and windows to achieve the best humidity removal effect.
• 5. Do not place objects around the body. Blocked ventilation will affect dehumidification efficiency.
• 6. If the product is not used for a long time, unplug the power cord.
• 7. When cleaning, use a wet textile to wipe gently; do not spray water directly.
• 8. Do not place any object on the dehumidifier.
• 9. Clean the filter every two weeks. Do not use hot water above 104°F (40°C), alcohol, gasoline, or toluene.
• 10. When using continuous drainage, the drain hose must be placed horizontally without unevenness or winding.
• 11. After cleaning the filter, do not dry it under direct sunlight to prevent deformation.
• 12. Before moving or carrying the machine, first pour out the water in the tank.
