Instructions for Drying Clothes

The dehumidifier can be used for drying clothes in rainy weather.
Step 1.
Hang the washed clothes in a small space such as cloakroom, bathroom, or storage room.
Note: Keep away the unit from the water drips of the washed clothes.
Step 2.
Open the dehumidifier and set the humidity level at 30%RH. It’s the best if you let the airoutlet of the dehumidifier to blow air to the clothes directly.

1. The drying effect will vary from the thickness of clothes, the number of clothes and the size of the drying space. Theoretically, the effect will be better when clothes are few, thin and space is small.
2. The drying process would take 3-8 hours, and we suggest that continuous drainage mode would be more suitable when drying clothes.
