WORKING MODE
Dehumidify Mode (DEH):
-
A. The Compressor will start when the humidity level is higher than 3% of set level, during which time, the fan will run at the set wind speed. When the humidity level falls to 3% from the set level, the compressor will automatically turn off and the fan will blow on low speed. (The fan speed can be adjusted at this time).

-
F. The triangular hidden display on the front shell displays three colours according to the humidity.
It shows red when the relative humidity is higher than 65%, green when the relative humidity is between 45% and 65%, and blue when the relative humidity is below 45%. -
G. When the set humidity is “CO”, the compressor runs continuously without limiting the set humidity, and the fan speed is adjustable. Also, when the CO is displayed, the child lock and timer can be set.
Fan Mode (FAN):
When entering the air supply mode through the mode conversion, the compressor
will not work; the default is low wind, the fan speed is adjustable, and the
ambient humidity (30~90%RH) is displayed.
Dry Mode (DRY):

alarms, the water full indicator light “FULL” will be on, and the digital tube
will flash to display “FL” until the water is removed.
FILTER CLEANING REMINDER FUNCTION “CHECK FILTER” (MODEL WITH PUMP ONLY),
After the machine has been running for 250 hours in total, the filter cleaning
indicator “CHECK FILTER” lights up, reminding to clean the water pump inlet
filter (refer image C, page 2-3) and the unit air inlet filter (refer image E,
page 2-3). After cleaning, press the (1) + (4) keys (refer image F, page 2-3)

-
Use a suitable tool to open the hole plugging piece at the position (refer image D, page 2-3).
-
Insert the water hose into the drain port as shown in the figure and connect firmly.
-
Put the other end of the water hose into the floor drain or a large water storage container.
If you use a large water storage container, pay attention to the water level of the container to prevent the water in the container from overflowing. -
Pressing (3) + (4) at the same time (refer image F, page 2-3), the auto drain indicator “AUTO DRAIN” of the pump can be turned on or off.
WARNING: Do not remove the water tank when the auto drain is switched on. If you need to remove the water tank, please press the power button to turn it off. Do not operate in violation of regulations; otherwise, it will cause damage to the components of the unit.
