  Note:

  • If the set humidity value is higher than the room humidity level, the dehumidifier won’t start.
  •  When the dehumidifier gets the room humidity level down to the set-point. the dehumidifier will auto-stop. And the dehumidifier will auto-restart when the room humidity raises back.
  • Press and hold the HUMSET button for 3 seconds to query the current environmental humidity.
  • When we set the humidity as•–•, the dehumidifier enters into the CONT mode, S seconds later, “HUMSE’r backlight goes off and the “CONT”‘ indicator lights up.

WATER DRAINAGE

Emptying the Water Bucket
When the water bucket is full, the dehumidifier will automatically stop working and make a beep sound. Meanwhile, the water full indicator will light up in green. Do not move the dehumidifier at this time in case the water spills on the floor.
*Gently remove the water bucket on the back of the dehumidifier (FIG 1);

Replace the water bucket in the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier will auto-start once the bucket has been seated properly.

NOTE: Do not remove the float (FIG 4) from the water tank; otherwise, the dehumidifier will not stop working when the water tank is full. Then the water will be overflow that may damage your floor.

Continuously Drain by Gravity

• Take out the water bucket (FIG 1);
• Attach one end of the hose to to drain outlet (FIG 2);
• Replace the water bucket in the dehumidifier, mind routing the hose out from the cutting on the bucket, and direct the other end of the drain hose down to a suitable drainage facility, like a floor drain (FIG 3).

Note :

• The drainage facility should be lower than the drain outlet of the dehumidifier.
• 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.
• To improve gravity draining, you can raise the dehumidifier onto another higher and flat surface, like a table.
• 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.
• It is not recommended to use a long hose. If the drain hose is too long, water may not drain completely, which can lead to stagnant water and mildew build up inside the hose.
• When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet.

CARE & CLEANING

To avoid possible electric shock, ensure to turn the dehumidifier off and disconnect the plug from the power source before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

• Do not use chemical solvent (such as benzene, alcohol, or gasoline). The surface may be damaged or even the whole housing may be deformed.
• Do not sprinkle water on the dehumidifier.

Clean the Air filter

The air filter is located behind the rear intake grill to prevents dust coming into the dehumidifier.
The filter is recommended to be cleaned approximately every 2 weeks and may require more frequent cleaning if there is significant dander or fur in the air.

1. Take out the filter

2. Clean the filter and dry thoroughly
   Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove any large debris or dust build-up from the filter.
   Wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, below 40°C (104°F), or use a neutral cleaning agent.
   Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly.

3. Re-install the filter
