When the set humidity is lower than the current ambient temperature, the machine will work normally.

Dehumidification Running
  1. When the compressor has passed the protection for 3 minutes and the indoor humidity ≥ set humidity + 5% RH, the compressor will work again.
  2. When the indoor humidity < set humidity – 5% RH, the compressor is turned off.
  3. Set the humidity – 5% RH < indoor humidity < set humidity + 5% RH to keep the original compressor working.
  4. The compressor stops the fan if it has not been operated for three minutes after the humidity has dropped.
  5. When the machine beeps three times and the water full indicator light is on, the machine stops working. The water in the water tank needs to be drained and the water tank is reinstalled.

  6. Defrost
    A) After the machine starts to run for 30 minutes, the copper coil sensor starts to detect the tube temperature. When the tube temperature is ≤ -1 °C (there is 3 seconds of detection time), the compressor stops and the fan runs, and the defrosting operation starts. The lights are shining.
    B) When the temperature sensor detects that the coil temperature on the evaporator is greater than or equal to 5 degrees and the detection is greater than or equal to 5 degrees for 3 minutes, the defrosting is exited.

When using a water pipe, do not immerse the water outlet in the water to prevent the pipe from being too long or the pressure is formed in the pipe when the water outlet is blocked. The water flow is not smooth, resulting in water leakage.
