OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

  • Plug in the power plug. Please pay attention to ensure that the machine’s power supply is consistent with the power grid.
  • Please press both sides of the swing to manually adjust the swing leaf to the desired angle.

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).

B. Display the set humidity (CO-35-85%RH): Press the up and down adjustment keys to adjust the desired humidity.

C. The fan speed is adjustable. “HIGH” for high speed and “LOW” for low speed.

D. Child lock and timer functions can be set.

E. MODEL WITHOUT PUMP ONLY: When the ambient humidity does not reach the set humidity, the red indicator light of the “OK” light on the display panel is off. When the ambient humidity reaches the set humidity, the “OK” light on the display panel will light up in red.

F. The triangular hidden display on the front shell displays three colors 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.

1.3 Dry Mode (DRY):
Entering the “dry mode” will run a fixed, continuous high airflow no matter the humidity level.

TIMER FUNCTION “TIMER”

A. Press the timing key to start the timing function, and you can set the timing/query timing/ cancel the timing.

B. In the non-timed state: press the “timing” key (1, refer image F, page 2-3) to enter the timing setting state, the timing indicator light is on, and the digital tube flashes (5 times, 1 time/second) to display the timing time during the blinking period, press the “up or down” key to set Timing time between (0~24), the selected time will be confirmed after it flashes five times (or if there are other valid key operations during the flashing period, it will be confirmed immediately).

C. In the timing state: press the “timing” key (1, refer image F, page 2-3) to enter the timing query state, the digital tube flashes (5 times, 1 time/ second) to display the timing time, and press the “timing” key (1, refer image F, page 2-3) again during the digital flashing period to cancel the timing.

D. During the timing period, the “TIMER” indicator light is on. After the timing is over, the timing indicator will turn off.

E. The current on/off state will not be changed when setting the timing on/off; the setting of the timing function is only valid for the last time and only once. The on/off operation caused by a key press will clear all timing settings.

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) to reset the filter reminder, the indicator light will turn off, and the timing cleaning reminder will restart.
