Condensate Removal
Emptying the Water Tank

- Do not connect a drain hose if using the tank for condensate collection. Water will drain through the hose instead of the tank.
- Grasp the water tank from both sides and carefully remove it. Avoid spilling condensate.
- When emptying, hold the tank by its handle with one hand and support the bottom with the other.
- Place the tank back into the appliance correctly.
Condensate Drainage via Drain Hose (Continuous Mode)
Prepare the included drain hose (1 meter length, 10 mm outer diameter).
- Turn off and unplug the appliance.
- Remove the water tank.
- Connect one end of the drain hose to the outlet on the appliance and replace the water tank. Route the other end of the hose to a larger container (bucket, bath, etc.) for free condensate flow. Ensure the drain hose points downwards and is not blocked or damaged.
- Prepare a container for potential dripping before removing the drain hose from the appliance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always turn off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents (e.g., thinners, benzene), or harsh chemicals to avoid damaging the appliance surface.
- Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
Cleaning Grilles and Appliance Surfaces
- Wipe the appliance surface with a soft cloth. For dirt, use a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent.
- Carefully clean the air outlet grille using a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
Cleaning the Filter
- Clean the carbon and ionizing filter monthly using a vacuum cleaner.
- Filter lifespan is approximately 1 year, depending on usage and environment. Replacement filters are designated DF-005 and DF-006.
- Do not use the appliance without a filter. This can cause dust accumulation in the evaporator, reducing performance.
Cleaning the Water Tank
- Use warm water to clean the tank. If dirty, use water with a neutral kitchen detergent, then rinse with clean water. Clean the tank approximately once a week to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Pre-use Check:
- Ensure the air outlet is not blocked.
- Check that the plug and socket are in good condition.
- Verify the air filter is clean.
- Confirm the drain hose is not damaged.
Long-Term Storage
- If the appliance is not used for an extended period, store it as follows:
- Unplug the appliance, clean it, and coil the power cord.
- Ensure the water tank is empty and clean, and the drain hose is disconnected.
- Pack the appliance to protect it from dust and dirt.
- Store the appliance in a dry and cool place.
Optional HEPA 13 + Activated Carbon Filter DF-015 Health Kit
This model supports the optional DF-015 Health Kit, which includes a HEPA 13 + activated carbon filter. This filter replaces the standard carbon and ionizing filter and has a lifespan of approximately 1 year. It can be cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. This filter purifies air from dust, mold spores, pollen, mites, and other pathogens.
Troubleshooting
Dehumidification Problems
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Appliance is noisy during operation | Appliance is on an uneven surface | Ensure the appliance is on a flat, stable surface. |
Poor dehumidifying performance | Air filter is dirty or blocked | Clean the filter. |
Doors or windows are open | Ensure all doors and windows are closed. | |
Low room temperature reduces performance | The appliance should be operated in a room with a temperature higher than 5°C. |
Water Drainage Problems
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Water is in the tank when using the drain hose | Drain port is blocked | Clean it. |
Drain hose is improperly installed | Clean the hose of debris and reinstall it. |
Malfunction Table
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Appliance not working | Room temperature is higher than 32°C or lower than 5°C | Operate within the specified temperature range. |
Water tank is full | Empty the water tank and place it back into the appliance. | |
Appliance is on an uneven surface | Ensure the appliance is on a flat, stable surface. | |
The room where the appliance is located is too large | Ensure the room size is appropriate for the appliance's capacity. | |
Doors or windows are open | Ensure all doors and windows are closed. | |
Are there devices in the room producing steam? | Identify and address steam-producing sources. | |
Room temperature is too low | Ensure the room temperature is within the operating range. | |
Humidity level may be set incorrectly | Adjust the humidity setting or select continuous mode. | |
Operation is suddenly noisy | Appliance is on a wooden floor | Place on a stable surface or use a mat. |
Humidity not decreasing | (Covered by previous points: room size, open windows, low temp, steam) | (Refer to previous solutions) |
Little or no dehumidifying effect | Unit starts automatic defrosting (compressor stops briefly, fan runs at high speed) | This is normal operation during defrosting. The unit will resume previous settings after defrosting is complete. |
Odor on first use | Unit may emit a strange odor initially due to rising temperature. | The odor should dissipate with continued use. |
