When using this dehumidifier in European countries, the following information must be followed:

DISPOSAL: Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.

It is prohibited to dispose of this appliance in domestic household waste. For disposal, there are several possibilities:

• The municipality has established collection systems, where electronic waste can be disposed of at least free of charge to the user.
• When buying a new product, the retailer will take back the old product at least free of charge.

2. DESIGN NOTICE

• In order to ensure the optimal performance of our products, the design specifications of the unit are subject to change without prior notice.

3. PRECAUTION BEFORE FIRST USE

• After receiving the dehumidifier, let it sit in an upright position for 1 to 2 hours before using it to ensure refrigerant flows back to the compressor.
• Dehumidifier is an electrical appliance with a "compressor" structure inside. During transportation, the refrigerant oil in the system may flow to the desiccant capillary tube. If it is used immediately after transportation, it may cause problems such as tube blockage. It is recommended to let the unit sit in an upright position after it has been transported from one location to another.

4. POSITIONING THE UNIT

Casters (At four points on the bottom of unit)

• Casters can move freely.
• Do not force casters to move over carpet, nor move the unit with water in the bucket. (The unit may tip over and spill water.)

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect on drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation (at least 40cm of air space on air outlet).
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 5°C (41°F). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 5°C (41°F), which may reduce performance.
• Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator.
• Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.

5. WHEN USING THE UNIT

• When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours. Make sure the plastic cover on the drain hose outlet is installed tightly so there will be no leak.
• This unit is designed to operate in a working environment between 5°C/41°F and 32°C/90°F, and between 30% (RH) and 80% (RH).
• If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximately three minutes for the correct operation to resume.
• Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet that is shared to other electrical appliances.
• Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
• Plug the unit into an electrical socket-outlet with earth connection.
• Make sure the water bucket is correctly fitted otherwise the unit will not operate properly.
• Note: When the water in the bucket reaches to a certain level, please be careful to move the machine to avoid spilling.

2. CLEVAST DEHUMIDIFIER FEATURES

Clevast App Control

The Clevast dehumidifier can be controlled via a mobile app, providing convenient access to the device's settings and allowing you to monitor and adjust the humidity level from anywhere.

Setting the Timer

When the unit is on, first press the Timer button, the Timer Off indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Stop program is initiated. Press it again the Timer On indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Start is initiated.

When the unit is off, first press the Timer button, the Timer On indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Start program is initiated. Press it again the Timer Off indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Stop is initiated.

The selected time will register after 5 seconds and the system will automatically revert back to display the previous humidity setting.

When the Auto Start & Auto Stop times are set, within the same program sequence, Timer On Off indicator lights illuminate identifying both On and Off times are now programmed.

Turning the unit On or Off at any time or adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.

Wait 3 minutes before resuming the operation after the unit has stopped. This is to protect the unit. Operation will automatically start after 3 minutes.

Bucket Full Light

Glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied.

Auto Defrost

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.

Check filter feature

The system starts to count the time once the fan motor operates. The check filter feature can be only activated when the accumulated operation achieves 250 hours or more. The Reset light (clean filter indicator) flashes every second. After cleaning the air filter, press the Filter button and the Reset light goes off.

Auto-Restart

If the unit breaks off unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function setting automatically when the power resumes.

3. REMOVING THE COLLECTED WATER (There are two ways to remove collected water.)

1. Use the bucket

• When the unit is off, if the bucket is full, the Full indicator light will light.
• When the unit is on, if the bucket is full, the compressor and the fan turn off, and the Full indicator light will light, the digital display shows P2.
• Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does not spill. Do not put the bucket on the floor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
• Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in right place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
• The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.

a. Pull out the bucket a little.

b. Hold both sides of the bucket with even strength, and pull it out from the unit.

NOTE:

• When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
• Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.

2. Continuous draining

• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose (Id>5/16,r, not included) with a female threaded end (ID:M= 1/2"or 3/4", not included)
• Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and set aside, then insert the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and lead the drain hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage.
