Plug in Electrical Cord
IMPORTANT
Please let the dehumidifier stand upright for 24 hours before plugging in for the first time. During the shipping process, the dehumidifier may have been subjected to tilting or even placed upside down, which can cause the oil in the compressor to become unsettled. Failure to let the dehumidifier stand upright for the recommended duration can negatively impact its performance or even shorten its lifespan. Hence, kindly make sure to follow this crucial step before using the dehumidifier.
To properly operate the dehumidifier, please plug it into a GFCl-protected 115-volt outlet with a rating of at least 16 amps. Uncoil the power cord and securely connect it to an appropriate outlet. Note: When the dehumidifier is first plugged into AC power, the control panel display will light up for a second, which is part of the dehumidifier’s self-diagnosis procedure and no action is required. This indicates that the dehumidifier is functioning correctly and ready to operate effectively. You will still need to press the POWER button to turn the dehumidifier on. If not been operated for over 50 seconds, the control panel will become dime until pressed buttons again.
Understand the Control Panel
The control panel of the dehumidifier features a user-friendly interface with 4 buttons and an LED screen. Press the POWER Button to turn the dehumidifier on. After turning on the dehumidifier, the LED screen will display the readouts.

illuminates when the timer function is enabled and disappears when the timer
function is disabled.
Fan Icon: It illuminates when the fan is running and disappears when the
compressor stops running.
Water Droplet Icon: It illuminates when the compressor is running and
disappears when the compressor stops running.
In the following cases, it is normal if the water droplet icon disappears which means the compressor stops or does not kick in.
- A. The humidity set point is NOT at least 5% lower than the room humidity readout value (in this case, please double-check your setting);
- B. The room humidity level has reached the set-point, so the dehumidifier automatically stops running;
- C. The dehumidifier was just turned on and may take a few seconds for the compressor to kick in;
- D. The dehumidifier was restarted in a brief moment, the compressor is under delay protection status.
Defrosting icon: It illuminates when the dehumidifier detects frost on the interior. During defrosting, the fan operates while the compressor does not, and the defrost icon flashes until the frost melts. The dehumidifier will automatically begin to dehumidify and the “Defrost” icon will disappear once the defrosting process is complete.
Note: Frequent defrosting indicates that the room temperature is too low. It is recommended to add heat when the room temperature is lower than 60°F for proper drying.
COOCIOUOUS MOUE: This icon illuminates when the humidity set point is 10%, which means the dehumidifier will dehumidify continuously.
Power Buttoo: Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off.
