Setting
Press the setting button to choose the dehumidification mode that you want, there are two modes with this dehumidifier, continuous dehumidification mode [ CO ] and comfort mode [ RU ]. of course you can set humidity to relative humidity 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%.

[ CO ]Continuous Dehumidification Mode :

Press the setting button, and there is “ CO ” on the LED screen, and flash until the display switches back to show the real humidity, it means the dehumidifier is in continuous dehumidification mode which will work continuously, you can adjust the fan speed according to your needs.
If you want to set humidity, press the setting button again until you see” C0 ” on the LED screen, continue to press the setting button to set humidity 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% in 10% increments.

Tips:

a) When the environment’s real humidity is 3% lower than the set humidity, the compressor will automatically shut down, and the fan will continue until the environment’s real humidity is 3% higher than the set humidity, and the compressor will work again.
b) When the environment’s real humidity is lower than 35%, the LED screen will show”LO”, when the environment’s real humidity is higher than 90%, the LED screen will show”HI”.

[ RU ]Comfort Mode:
Press the setting button, and there is “ RIJ ” On the LED screen flash until the LED display switches back to the real environment humidity, it means the dehumidifier is in comfort mode. you can adjust fan speed according to your needs and can not set humidity. The dehumidifier intelligently adjusts the humidity according to the external environment.

When the environment temperature is higher than 80.6° F (27°C), the dehumidifier will set the humidity to 50% automatically. If the real environment humidity lower than 50%, the machine will not open the dehumidification function, but the fan still works with ventilation.
When the environment temperature is higher than 68° F (20 ‘C) and lower than 80.6° F (27 ‘C ), the dehumidifier will set the humidity to 55% automatically. If the real environment humidity is lower than 55%, the machine will not open the dehumidification function, but the fan still works with ventilation.
When the environment temperature is higher than 41 ° F (5 “C )and lower than 68° F (20 ‘C ), the dehumidifier will set the humidity to 60% automatically. If the real environment humidity is lower than 60%, the machine will not open the dehumidification function, but the fan still works with ventilation.
When the environment temperature is lower than 41 ° F (5 “C ), the machine will stop working.

Full Water Indicate light:

If the tank is full, missing, or not installed correctly, the FULL Indicator Light become red on the panel as well you will hear three sound “bi. .. bi. .. bi” to remind you to empty or replace.

Auto Defrost Indicator Light

At this time, the evaporator in the dehumidifier will start to defrost automatically. In defrost, the Defrost indicator light will illuminate on the main display screen, the dehumidification function will power off, and the fan still run.
The environment temperature between 41 ° F(5 “C) to 53.6° F (12 “C ), the unit will start defrosting for 10 minutes every 30 minutes of operation.
The environment temperature between 53.6° F (12°C) to 60.8° F(16″C), the unit will start defrosting for 10 minutes every 45 minutes of operation.

How to Use a Dehumidifier Effectively

Make sure that the windows and doors are closed while the dehumidifier is operating.
How to Use a Dehumidifier Effectively 1. Make sure that the windows and doors are closed while the dehumidifier is operating.
If you are operating the dehumidifier in a large room, place it as close to the moisture source as possible.
Don’t place your dehumidifier too close to any furniture. This can further restrict the airflow around the unit.
Empty the collected water out of the dehumidifier after every use and before moving it to another room.
You can use this dehumidifier to where is very humid, such as the bathroom, or basement or you can place it in your cloakroom to dry your clothes.
Note: Do not use this operation when the outdoor temperature is equal to or less than 32° F (0°C), otherwise the water will freeze, causing the water hose to block up and the dehumidifier may be damaged. During the winter if it gets too cold, the water your machine collects could potentially freeze and damage it. So, you may want to consider dehumidifiers that rely on silica or charcoal desiccants.
It’s a good idea to vacuum your floors before you switch on your dehumidifier so that it doesn’t spread dust particles. This is particularly important if you already suffer from allergies.
You should set your dehumidifier to relative humidity levels of between 30%to 50%. Lower than 30%: Don’t use your dehumidifier. Use a humidifier instead. Remember that very low humidity isn’t healthy either and can increase the chances of viruses spreading around. Higher than 50%: Use your dehumidifier.
Wash and dry air filter regularly. The filter cleans the air that flows through the dehumidifier, and when it ‘s dirty, your dehumidifier’s efficiency takes a hit.

NOTE: THE DEHUMIDIFIER PRODUCING WARM AIR IS NORMAL.

This dehumidifier doesn’t have a cooling function only decreases the humidity. So warm air coming from a dehumidifier is normal, it will produce heat during the operation and increase the room temperature to 1 to 5 °C but it shouldn’t be too hot. This temperature rise may be very distinct in the cabinet or other similar spaces.
Cause humid air is pulled into the dehumidifier and passes over refrigerated cooling coils, it takes a lot of energy to keep the coils refrigerated and the fan operating. This generated heat will constantly radiate out as the unit draws moisture out of the air to lower the humidity.

The 2 Drainage Ways

There are two ways to remove collected water:

Manual Drainage – Using The Water Tank
The dehumidifier can’t operate and the FULL Indicator Light flashes a red light on the display screen when the water in the tank is full.

Step 1: Grab both sides of the water tank and remove it from the unit following the arrow from top to bottom. Removing the tank slowly to avoid water leakage when tank is full.

Step 2 : Empty the tank by supporting the bottom of the tank with two hands.

Step 3 : After emptying, replace the tank in the dehumidifier following the arrow direction from bottom to top. Confirm the tank is installed in position and the red Indicator light off.

NOTE

Replace the empty tank into the unit and once seated correctly, please press the power button, and the unit will start up again.
You should hear a click when the tank is in the correct position.
Do not remove the float in the tank, otherwise, the sensor will not be able to sense the water level properly, so the water will overflow from the tank when the tank is full.
Wipe the tank after every use and clean it with a damp cloth to prevent mildew.
Be careful not to spill any of the dirty water as you dump it down a sink or outside.
Do not drink or use the water drained from the dehumidifier.

Auto Drainage – Using The Drain Hose
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the dehumidifier to a water gravity drain hose (included) which attaches to a nozzle on the middle of the unit.

Step 1: Remove the water tank from the unit, you will see the connection of the nozzle.

Step 2: Thread the drain hose (included) onto the nozzle. Replace the water tank in the unit. COLAZE-DH01-2500-Sq-Ft--Pint-Dehumidifier-
FIG-27

Step 3: Position the gravity drain hose into the floor drain or other water receptacle. Ensure that the gravity drain hose is directed downwards.

COLAZE-DH01-2500-Sq-Ft--Pint-Dehumidifier-FIG-28

NOTE

Be sure to run the water hose sloping downward to let the water flow out smoothly. If the drain hose is directed upwards or horizontally, water will not exit the drain hose and instead will collect in the drain tank.
Make sure the connection is tight and there is no leaking.
Lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility, the drainage facility should be lower than the drain outlet of the dehumidifier.
When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet.

CARE & CLEANING

WARNING: Before cleaning, turn the dehumidifier off, then remove the plug with dry hands from the wall outlet to avoid electric shock.
Please face the front of the unit to move the machine.
