Instructions for Drying Clothes

The dehumidifier can be used for drying clothes in rainy weather.

1. 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 drip from the washed clothes,
2. Step 2 : Open the dehumidifier and choose the “DRY” mode. It is best if you let the air outlet of the dehumidifier to blow air to the clothes directly,
   • 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.
   • The drying process would take 3-8 hours, and we suggest that continuous drainage mode is more suitable when drying clothes.

Fault Phenomenon

Drainage Guide
There are two ways to remove collected water.

• Use the Water Tank: When the water tank is already full, the Full Tank Alert indicator will light up, the dehumidifier will automatically shut down until the tank has been emptied and placed back to the unit The water in the tank shall be emptied as follows
  • Do not move the dehumidifier at this time in case the water spills on the floor. Gently remove the water bucket from the dehumidifier;
  • To remove the bucket to empty the collected water, gently remove the water bucket from the dehumidifier;
  • When the water tank is placed, hold the tank tightly with your hand, If the tank is not properly placed, the water-full sensor will still be activated and the dehumidifier will not operate.

1. Pull the water tank out from the bottom with your hand
2. Open the cover of the water tank

Continuous Drainage: Remove the power supply, take out the water tank, open the drain cover, insert the water pipe into the continuous drain port and push it back into the water tank. Connect the power supply to start the operation and keep the water tank installed, then the continuous drainage function can be carried out.

1. Open drain cover and remove grey rubber plug
2. Insert the water pipe into the continuous drain port Note
   • Make sure the connection is tight and there is no leaking.
   • Be sure to run the water hose sloping downward to let the water flow out smoothly. No kinks or bent.
   • If the condensation water would be drained out to an external container via the hose, be sure NOT to submerge the other end of the hose into the drained out water.
   • When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet and screw the drain outlet cover on.
3. Invert the water tank to empty the water
4. Put the water tank back in place, the water full indicator will go out

Note

• Do not remove the float from the water tank. If the float in the water tank is removed, the sensor may not be able to determine the water level stored in the tank properly that may lead to water overflow leak from the water tank,
• If the water tank is dirty, just use cold water or warm water to clean it Do not use detergent, steel wool, chemically treated dust cloth, gasoline, benzene or other solvents, Otherwise, it may damage the water tank and cause it to leak,
• When placing back the water tank, use your hands to press the tank back in its place. If the water tank is not placed properly, protections from water overflow may not operated,
