APPEARANCE

OPERATION

START-UP
Plug the unit into a power socket. Press the power button (STAND-BY), the operation indicator will light up.
STOPPING THE OPERATION
On the operating unit, press the power button (STAND-BY): the unit will stop, and the indicator light will go off.
Warning: never disconnect the plug during operation. Make sure to turn off the dehumidifier first, and then disconnect the plug, otherwise the electric components can be damaged, and the unit service life will be reduced.
MODE FUNCTION
Press the mode button to switch between the operating modes in the following cycle: “Auto – Silence – Strong – Continuous”. During the first start-up, the unit is set to “Auto” mode by default. Upon normal power-off, the system will remember the last operating mode, and will continue operating in that last mode, once the operation is resumed.
Silence mode: in this mode, the air flow speed is low, and the humidity is adjustable.
Strong mode: in this mode, the air flow speed is high to ensure powerful dehumidification, and the humidity is not adjustable.
Continuous mode: in this mode, the compressor keeps working, the air flow speed is low, and the humidity is not adjustable.
Auto mode: in this mode, the humidity is automatically set to 55%, the air flow speed will automatically change based on the ambient humidity (ambient humidity>70% is considered high, ambient humidity<55% is considered low), the humidity is not adjustable.
DEFROSTING
If the unit operates at room temperature below 23°C, the evaporator inside will start freezing, so the defrosting function
will turn on automatically (for 5-10 minutes) at least every 30 minutes.

• During defrosting, the unit does not perform dehumidification.
• Do not disconnect the plug or turn off the unit during defrosting.

During defrosting, the indicator light is on, the compressor stops, and the fan keeps operating.
AIR CLEAN FUNCTION
On the operating unit, press the “AIR CLEAN” button to turn on the ionizer; the corresponding indicator light will turn on.
TIMER FUNCTION
Press the “Timer” button to set the timer; the indicator light will turn on. Adjust the time by pressing “+” or “−” buttons (within 0 ~ 24 hours). Press the button again to display the remaining time.
HUMIDITY SETTING
Press the “+” or “−” button to set the humidity within 35% ~ 80% (with the step of 5%).
SWING FUNCTION
Press the “OSC” button to tilt the flap upwards: the indicator light will turn on. Press the button again to close the flap.

The following timer programs are available:
A. Delayed power-off (when the unit is operating). The unit will stop once the set time elapses.
B. Delayed start-up. Use the “TIMER” button to set the time (0-24 hours). The appliance will start once the set time elapses. While the time is being counted down, the timer lamp indicated the remaining time.
STOPPING OPERATION
Press the “STANDBY” button again.

• The mode selection lamp will go off, and the unit will stop operating.
• Close the flap (in case the unit does not have the swing function).

BUZZER
Whenever any button is pressed, the buzzer sounds.
Note. Be sure to open either flap. If the flap is not fully opened during operation, the overheat protection will stop the unit.
If the unit is plugged in or restarted immediately after stop, the unit will start dehumidifying after approximately 3 minutes due to action of the protective function.
Once power supply is resumed after power failure, the “Auto” lamp will flash. Press the power button again to start operation.
The unit performance depends on the outside air. To ensure efficient operation, do not open the windows and doors frequently.
To ensure good performance, operate the unit in the proper temperature range. If the ambient temperature is above approximately 36°C, the unit will stop dehumidifying and switch to the air cleaning mode for safety purposes.
The circulating refrigerant may make noise during the unit start-up. Once the circulation becomes stable, the noise wil cease.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
Wipe the unit with a dry soft cloth.

• Before using a wet cloth to remove heavy dirt, wring it out thoroughly. Never use a wet cloth to clean the controls.
• Do not use benzine, thinner or liquid cleaners to avoid deformation or cracks.
