Target Humidity Value Setting
- Check the room humidity (After powering on, the digital number on the control panel displays the room humidity readout).
- Press UP or DOWN button once; the digital number will change to the previous setting value and blink.
- Repeatedly press the UP or DOWN button to set a desired humidity percentage value between 10%-98% in increments of 1%. The set humidity value needs to be at least 5% lower than room humidity (the digital number keeps blinking while changes are being made).
- After selecting the desired value, wait for a few seconds until the digital number reverts to the room humidity readout, then let the dehumidifier run.
NOTE: The dehumidifier with a humidistat will automatically stop and restart to maintain room humidity level within a range of ±3% of the set point.
For example, if the set humidity is 50%:
- When the inlet humidity level the dehumidifier detects is 47% (3% lower than the set humidity), the dehumidifier will automatically stop and enter standby mode. During this time, the digital number keeps blinking.
- When the inlet humidity level the dehumidifier detects rises to 53% (3% higher than the set humidity), it will automatically restart.
- However, if the set humidity level is equal to 10, the dehumidifier will enter CONTINUOUS MODE where it will run continuously.
Timer Setting
The TIMER function enables you to either delay AUTO-ON or delay AUTO-OFF the dehumidifier, with choices from 1 hour to 24 hours.
- Setting an AUTO-ON timer: When the dehumidifier is on standby, selecting TIMER will turn the dehumidifier on after the set hours.
- Setting an AUTO-OFF timer: When the dehumidifier is running, selecting TIMER will turn the dehumidifier off after the set hours.
To Set Timer:
- Press the TIMER button to activate the TIMER feature (the digital number turns into 00 and blinks).
- Repeatedly press the UP or DOWN button to increase or decrease the delay timer in 1-hour increments, up to 24 hours (the digital number blinks while changes are being made).
- After selecting the desired TIMER setting value, press the TIMER button again to confirm the timer setting. The digital number then reverts to the room humidity readout, and the TIMER indicator remains illuminated.
Note:
- Set AUTO ON timer when the dehumidifier is off, or set AUTO OFF timer when the dehumidifier is running. It is not allowed to set both AUTO ON and AUTO OFF timers simultaneously.
- The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the dehumidifier either starts or stops.
- The TIMER will function only one time, instead of cycling the dehumidifier on or off indefinitely.
- When an AUTO OFF timer has been activated, pressing the TIMER button again allows you to check the remaining time until the dehumidifier automatically turns off.
- If the timer is set to 00, the timer function will not be activated.
Drainage
During operation, the pump will automatically pump the condensation out via the drain hose when the pump reservoir is full. No manual intervention is required.
Before moving the dehumidifier, press and hold the PUMP button for 3-5 seconds to empty the pump reservoir to avoid water spillage. The PUMP indicator will light up and blink when the pump is working. The pump will stop working automatically, and the PUMP light will go off when the pump reservoir is almost empty.
