OPERATIONS

TIMER setting: Press and hold the Timer Button to change the delay timer at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. After TIMER setting, the control will display the remaining time (8,7,6, etc.) until the unit either starts or stops.
If you press the TIMER button again, the control will display the room temperature like before. After that, pressing the TIMER button again at any time will stop the TIMER function. For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity will maintain the same as the previous setting. Adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.
NOTE: Before entering TIMER setting, please make sure the dehumidifier has been connected to the power source.
Before entering TIMER setting, please press Setting Button to set a desired room humidity first.

4. Speed Button
Control the fan speed. Press this button to select either High or Normal fan speed. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal. Set the fan control to high for maximum moisture removal. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is preferred, set the fan control to normal.

5. “Tank Full” Indicator Light
When the water tank is full, the light will flash and the machine will automatically shut down. After the water in the water tank is emptied, please put the water tank back in place, then the indicator light will turn off, and the machine will restart.

6. Auto Defrost Feature
When the dehumidifier is running at a lower temperature, the system will automatically determine if there is frost, and if frost is present, it will automatically defrost.
Defrost action: The fan runs at a high speed while the compressor stops, and the LCD screen display the defrosting symbol.

CONTROL PANEL

1. Power Button
Press this button to turn the dehumidifier on and off.

2. Setting Button
The humidity level can be set within a range of 30%RH to 80%RH in 5% increments. When the dehumidifier starts to work, it will first automatically detect and show the humidity (and temperature) in the room, then you can press and hold the Setting Buttons to change the humidity to 5% increments. (After you have set the desired humidity, the display will show the actual room humidity.) When the room humidity is over or below your set humidity, the dehumidifier will automatically begin to work or stop.
When the humidity level is set at 30%RH, the dehumidifier will be at CONTINUOUS dehumidifying mode.

3. Timer Button
The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 1 hour to 24 hours. If the unit is running, then selecting Timer will turn the unit off in the hours that will be set (Delay Stop). If the unit is off, then selecting Timer will turn the unit on in the hours that will be set (Delay Start).

Action Description

Power on:
The compressor will start to work after the fan works for a few seconds.

Power off:
The compressor will shut down at once and the fan will stop after a few seconds (when other malfunctions occur or humidity reaches the desired level, the fan will stop after ten seconds).
Tips: The compressor features “3 minutes delay protection” function While the dehumidifier is powered, the compressor can only start again three minutes after its last shutdown.

Fault & Protection Codes:

Humidity always shows “25% RH” but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.| Does the humidity sensor fail?| Set the humidity to 30% RH and check if the dehumidifier can work normally. If it does, the machine is in a good condition.
Repair or replace the humidity sensor.
Humidity always shows “99% RH” but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.| Is there some water on the surface of the humidity sensor?| The dehumidifier can work normally. The moisture removal effect is not affected.
Please keep the machine working for a while to remove the water on the humidity sensor surface. The machine will work normally when the water is removed.
Repair or replace the humidity sensor.

If the malfunctions still exist, please don’t hesitate to contact Yuafey Customer Service at support@yaufey.com for help.

Notice: Before turning on the machine, please be sure to have opened the air outlet. Otherwise, the machine will overheat. Do not unplug the power cord directly to turn off the machine.

REMOVING THE COLLECTED WATER

There are two ways to remove collected water:

1. Use the bucket

1. Take out the wanter bucket.
2. Empty the water bucket.
3. Put the water bucket back to its proper position.

NOTE:
Put the empty bucket back into the unit and once seated correctly, the unit will start up again.
You should hear a click when the bucket is in the correct position. Do not remove the float in the bucket, otherwise the sensor will not be able to sense the water level properly, resulting in that the water will overflow from the bucket when the bucket is full.
Caution: Please place the water tank in the right position. Otherwise, it may cause full tank alert.

2. Continuous Draining
You can connect a drain pipe to the continuous drain port to continuously drain the water from the water tank.
(Note: The continuous drain port diameter is 0.63inch.)

3. Continuous Drain Pipe Installation

Picture 1: Example of improper installation.

● The drain pipe arches upward at point D higher than point B. Air and water are prone to appear in the water pipe, which makes the water unable to be drained out smoothly through the pipe.

Picture 2: Example of improper installation.

● The contacting point D between the drain pipe and the container is lower than the continuous drain port A, but higher than the lowest point B of the pipe. Air and water are prone to appear in the water pipe, which makes the water unable to be drained out smoothly through the pipe.
● The water outlet C of the drain pipe should not be inserted into the water.

Picture 3: Example of proper installation.

the picture is for reference only

● The water passes through the continuous drain outlet A all the way to point B and point C. You can use a container to collect the water or drain it into the sewer. (The outlet C should be lower than the continuous drain outlet A at least 3.97 inches, and it is not recommended to extend the original drain pipe).
