FREQUENT ENQUIRIES
Q: Why is less water stored in water tank of the dehumidifier in winter?
In winter temperature is low and air i1s dry. In comparison with summer, the
dehumidification ability of the dehumidifier decreases remarkably, this is
nota fault.
Q: Why the dehumidifier cannot run or stops running suddenly?
- This dehumidifier may be full of water or water tank is not instlled properly, drain the water in water tank, or re-install water tank in correct way.
- At the moment the dehumidifier may be in the ” dehumidification mode”, the ambient temperature lower or higher (dehumidification cannot be performed) when the ambient temperature is 5Cor>32C).
- The ambient temperature for operation of the dehumidifier is 5-32°C, Cand the relative humidity is 30%-80%. The optimal temperature for use is 61-907;
Q: Why is hot air blown out from air supply outlet?
This dehumidifier extracts the air in the room, and the dehumidification unit
cools the air, the temperature decreases below the condensation point, the air
condenses into water drops, which falls into water tank finally, and the
dehumidified air is heated by the temperature returning unit. This can reduce
energy consumption and also accelerate dehumidification, therefore, hot air is
blown out, and this not a fault.
INSTALLATION
- Please drain the water from water tank before running.
- During running please do not open doors and windows as much as possible since this can save energy resources.
- When the dehumidifier is installed, a certain space must be reserved around this dehumidifier, the minimum distance above is 19.7in. and the minimum distance in front/rear and left/right is 7.9in. as required, as shown in figure below.
- When big noise is found during operation of this dehumidifier: It is recommended inserting pads or damping rubber sheets, etc. below this dehumidifier, this can reduce vibration and noise, and can also reduce sinking of wood floor or carpet.

the setting range is 1-24h. If you cancel timer setup, press twice
continuously after confirmation of setting time.
Dry key in dehumidifier
Press this key start drying procedure in the dehumidifier . Press the key for
3 seconds to start the ionizer and press the key for 3 seconds again to cancel
ionizer,
Air speed
In AUTO or CONTINUOUS mode air speed, HIGH and LOW can be circularly selected.
LED Display
In AUTO and CONTINUOUS modes, the figure represents room humidity. When
humidity is set in AUTO mode, this figure shows the set humidity; and displays
the set time n timer state, % represents percentage of humidity.
Humidity setting
Once this key is pressed, the humidity is displayed circularly in the range of
30%-35%-40%-45%- 50%-55%-60%-65%-70%-75%-80%, and the humidity setting is only
valid in AUTO mode.
Mode M
During startup or timer startup press this key to select AUTO or cONTINUOUS,
and the indicator lamp corresponding to the selected mode is on. Press this

OPERATING METHODS
Description of functions
Setting of TIMER OFF
When the dehumidifier is running, press the [Timer key] to adjust time from 1h
to 24h, pressing the key once to increase the setting time by 1h, after the
setting time exceeds 24h, the figure returns to 1 to start cycle. The Timer
key can also be pressed all the time, the time increases and changes
circularly, when the set time expires, the dehumidifier turns off
automatically. After the setting is completed, if the Timer key does not act
at all within 5s, the set time is confirmed. In timer off state the key lamp
on the [Timer key] is normally on
Setting of TIMER ON
When the dehumidifier is in standby state, the method for adjustment of
setting time by the [Timer key] is the same as timer off. After the setting is
completed, if the Timer key does not act at all within 5s, the set time is
confirmed. In timer on state the key lamp on the [Timer key] is normally on,
and the set time is displayed on control panel.
AUTO mode
Select AUTO dehumidification, if the room humidity is >the set humidity+5%,
the compressor starts, and the motor runs at high speed., if the room humidity
is between the set humidity+5% and the set humidity-5%, the compressor starts,
and the motor runs at low speed, if the room humidity is <the set humidity-5%,
the compressor stops, the fan runs at low speed. The initial value of the set
humidity is 50%.
CONTINUOUS mode
Select CONTINUOUS dehumidification, no matter how the relative humidity in the
room is, the compressor starts, the fan runs at high speed in default, and the
air speed can be regulated via the air speed key.
DRYING function in dehumidifier
Press the [Drying key in dehumidifier] for over 2s to start drying in the
dehumidifier, and the whole drying procedure needs approximate 1h.
- The dehumidifier starts at HIGH air speed and releases air continuously f 30min;
- The dehumidifier turns to run at LOW air speed and lasts for 15mi
How to stop:
- Press the Mode key again for over 2s to cancel drying in dehumidifi and recover to the running state before start of drying.
- Press the [Power key] to stop drying in dehumidifier and recover to t standby state.
DRAINAGE
Use of water tank
When the water tank is full of water, the full water icon on LED flashes (the
compressor, fan and negative ion will stop running), the BUZZER sounds for 10
times to remind the user till water is drained.
- Place both hands respectively at the side of the back cover side of the depression, gently remove the water tank and open the tank cover on the right side of the body, then pour the water from the gap between water tank and the cover.
- Close the tank cover,and r otating water tank handle down,then put the water tank gently and put it back in the right place to restart dehumidifier.
Attention : when the water tank is full of water, please empty it. Before putting the water tank into the dehumidifier, please confirm whether the floater rotates flexibly or not, and then push it in position with both hands.
CONTINUOUS DRAINANGE
If you do not want to drain water in the water tank frequently, you can
connect Two kind of pipe is optional. One is inner diameter 9mm ,which
provided by the manufacturer. Another is standard screw thread garden drain
pipe with outer diameter of I Vi6 inches and the pitch of 11.5TPI drainage
pipe on the back of this dehumidifier to drain water
- Find the position where the water outlet is blocked on the back, as shown in figure below:
- Pull down the water plug and connect drain pipe like following figure 1(provided pipe connect) or figure 2(garden drain pipe connect)
Attention: the level height of externally connected water pipe shall not be higher than the water outlet, and the water pipe at rear-end shall transit smoothly, otherwise, the leakage risk exists since drainage is not smooth.
MAINTENANCE
Precautions:
- Please disconnect power supply before maintenance or repair to prevent electric shock.
- If the dehumidifier is not used for long time, please disconnect power Supply.
- Please do not clean the dehumidifier body with chemical solvents such as alcohol, gasoline and benzene etc.
- Please clean the water tank and its cover with soft cloth dipped in cold or warm water at regular time to prevent mould inside the dehumidifier.
- Wipe the surface of the dehumidifier slightly with wet cloth, and do not use detergent or abrasive in case the plastic surface is damaged.
- Clean the washable PP strainer at lease once per per two weeks simply with cold or warm water, do not use chemical solvents or hot water.
