is humidity percentage value. If no operations on the control panel, this number is the humidity readout of the inlet air the dehumidifier detects which is similar to the current room humidity level. When you are pressing the or button to set the target humidity percentage value, this digital number will turn to display the previous setting value and keep blinking.

is the temperature readout of the inlet air the dehumidifier detects which is similar to the current room temperature.

illuminates when the timer function is enabled and disappears when the timer function is disabled.

Fan Icon: It illuminates when the fan is running and disappears when the compressor stops running.

Water Droplet Icon: It illuminates when the compressor is running and disappears when the compressor stops running.

Note:
In the following cases, it is normal if the water droplet icon disappears which means the compressor stops or does not kick in.

A. The humidity set-point is NOT at least 5% lower than the room humidity readout value (in this case, please double-check your setting):
B. The room humidity level has reached the set-point, so the dehumidifier automatically stops running;
C. The dehumidifier was just turned on and may take a few seconds for the compressor to kick in;
D. The dehumidifier was restarted in a brief moment, the compressor is under delay protection status.

Defrosting icon: It illuminates when the dehumidifier detects frost on the interior. During defrosting, the fan operates while the compressor does not, and the defrost icon flashes until the frost melts. The dehumidifier will automatically begin to dehumidify and the “Defrost” icon will disappear once the defrosting process is complete.

Note: Frequent defrosting indicates that the room temperature is too low. It is recommended to add heat when the room temperature is lower than 60°F for proper drying.

CONTINUOUS MODE: This icon illuminates when the humidity set point is 10%, which means the dehumidifier will dehumidifying continuously.
Power Button: Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off. Up and Down Buttons: Press to increase or decrease the set-point of humidity level. Timer Button: Press to check the settings, and set AUTO on/off timer.

General Operation Instructions

1. Turn on the dehumidifier
   Press the Power Button to turn on the dehumidifier.

2. Set a desired humidity percentage
   First of all, read the current room humidity readout on the left of the display and remember that value. Then, press the or down button to adjust the humidity set point in increments of 1%. The set humidity value needs to be at least 5% lower than the current room humidity readout value.
   Note: The humidity set-point is between 10% and 98%. A humidity setting between 40% and 60% is recommended for optimal comfort. Last, after selecting your target value, wait for 5 seconds for the setting to register automatically. This will ensure that your desired humidity level is set and maintained. Then, the dehumidifier will automatically stop and restart to maintain the room humidity level within a range of ±3% of the set point. For instance, if the set humidity is 50%, the dehumidifier automatically stops when the room humidity reaches 47% and then automatically restarts when the room humidity rises back to 53% or higher.

3. Turn the dehumidifier off
   Press the Power Button to turn off the dehumidifier.
   Note: To protect the compressor, the fan will continue to operate for 30 seconds after the dehumidifier shut off. Use the power button to stop the dehumidifier rather than forcibly by disconnecting the power cord.

Smart Functions

1. 3 Minutes Compressor Protection Mechanism
   It prevents the dehumidifier from starting immediately after a complete cycle to avoid any potential damage. The compressor will start automatically after a 3-minute delay. During this time, the Fan icon is illuminating continuously on the LED screen and until the compressor kicks in, the water droplets icon illuminates. That’s to say, if the dehumidifier was turned off and then restarted immediately, the compressor will not kick in until 3 minutes later.

2. Auto Defrost
   The compressor cycles off when frost builds up on the evaporator coils and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. Meanwhile, the DEFROST icon will light up on the LED screen during the defrosting process.

3. Auto-Restart
   If the dehumidifier shuts off unexpectedly due to power outage, the dehumidifier will restart with the previous function settings automatically when the power resumes.

4. Temperature Protection Function
   When the room temperature is higher than 113°F, the dehumidifier will automatically enter into HIGH-TEMPERATURE  PROTECTION SYSTEM while the LCD screen displays “HH” and the dehumidifier stops running.
   When the room temperature is lower than 40°F, the dehumidifier will automatically enter into LOW-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SYSTEM while the LCD screen displays “LL” and the dehumidifier stops running.
   Note: If “HH” or “LL” appears under normal circumstances, please contact the customer service team at service@moiswell.com for technical.
