Operating Introduction

Control panel

The name and function of the control panel

1. (ON/OFF): Touch this button to switch on/off the power.
2. (MODE ) : Touch this button to set up dry clothes mode (DRY) or dehumidify mode (DEHU)
3. (HUMIDITY): Touch this button to set the desired humidity, then the digital tube will show the set humidity accordingly.
4. (TIMER/LOCK): Touch this button to set the machine shutdown time. The display will show the shutdown time accordingly. Pressing this button for 3 seconds could turn on or off the CHILD LOCK function, and the lock indicator will on or off on the control panel.
5. (FAN): Touch this button to adjust the fan speed (Total is two speeds). The indicator will show the set speed accordingly (low or high).
6. (SWING): Touch this button to turn on or off the swing function.

Power on : Plug in the appliance and press the [ON/OFF] button, the dehumidifier starts running, the louver opens, and the default function is dehumidified mode (DEHU). The fan speed is high. The compressor works after 3 minutes for protection purposes. After turning it off, the dehumidifier turns on again and will work as in the previous setting before turning off.

Power off: When the dehumidifier operates, touch the [ON/OFF] button, and the dehumidifier stops working.

Mode setting button:
Press the [MODE] button can select dry clothes mode (DRY)-.. dehumidify mode (DEHU). CD Dry Clothes Mode: The DRY indicator lights up, the dehumidifier operates in the dry clothes mode, and the dehumidifier operates under the continuous dehumidifier condition whatever the ambient humidity is. The fan speed cannot be set under the dry clothes mode. Dehumidify Mode: The DEHU indicator lights up, and the dehumidifier operates under the dehumidify mode. Press the [FAN] button can adjust the fan speed.

Humidity setting:
Press the [HUMIDITY] button can set the desired humidity. digital tube will show CO~40%~45%~50%~55%~60%~65%~ 70%~CO …… in circulation. When the humidity is set, the digital tube will switch to show the ambient humidity from the set humidity. When the dehumidifier detects the ambient humidity is 2%RH lower than the set humidity, the dehumidifier will stop dehumidifying, and the fan will keep working at a low speed. When the dehumidifier detects the ambient humidity is 2%RH higher than the set humidity, the dehumidifier starts dehumidifying and the fan starts to work at set speed. For example, if the set humidity is 50%, when the machine detects the ambient humidity is <48%RH, the dehumidifier will stop dehumidifying, and the fan will keep working at a low speed. When the dehumidifier detects the ambient humidity
is >52%RH, the dehumidifier starts dehumidifying and the fan starts to work at set speed. When the ambient humidity is: S30%RH, the “LO” icon will be displayed on the digital tube.
When the ambient humidity is 2:80%RH, the “HI” icon will be displayed on the digital tube. CO means continuously dehumidifying whatever the ambient humidity is. The dehumidifier default setting is CO when switching on the dehumidifier in the beginning.

Under the dry clothes function, the machine is running in CO mode.

Timer:
Press the [TIMER] button, set the time for auto-stop, the timer indicator lights on, and the digital tube will show 0H~lH~2H~3H~4H~5H~6H~7H~8H~0H in circulation. When the digital tube shows “OH”, it means the timer for the auto-stop function is canceled and the timer icon lights are off. After choosing the timer function, the re-touch button, the digital tube will show the remaining time, and then the user knows when the dehumidifier will stop automatically. When the timer function is turned on, if the water tank is full or the machine is in auto­defrost, the timer is still valid, until reaches the set time, and the dehumidifier stops automatically.

Fan speed setting
Press the [FAN] speed setting button can adjust the fan speed. There are two speeds (low & high) to be chosen, and the corresponding indicator will light on.
(Note: The fan speed cannot be set under the dry clothes function)
Swing:
Press the [SWING] button, the swing indicator lights on, and the louver will swing in the up/down direction.

Child lock function:
When the machine operates, press the [TIMER] button for 3 seconds to choose the child lock function, then the lock icon will light on and the control panel will be locked, all buttons are invalid; Press the [TIMER] button for 3 seconds again or unplug the plug to cancel the child lock function.

Anion function:
When the machine turns on, the anion function turns on automatically; When the machine turns off, the anion function turns off automatically.

Memory Function

1. After turning off the dehumidifier, when the user turns it on again, the dehumidifier operates in the working mode before turning off.
   Noted: Timer and Lock functions are inapplicable.

2. If power cuts off accidentally or unplug the power plug when operating, the machine will start to work automatically after resuming power. The user should not press the [ON/OFF] button again to switch on the dehumidifier, and it will work as the previous setting before shutting down.

Water tank full auto-stop function
When the sensor detects the water level reaches the set height, the buzzer will alarm, the water full indicator lights up, the machine will stop working and the louver will close automatically. The user should empty the water tank, carry the tank back into the machine, then the machine will return to work as the settings before the water tank is full.

(Note: When put back into the water tank, the compressor will wait for 3 minutes before starting to operate to protect the compressor.)

Auto Defrost
When the machine is working at a temperature, to protect the cooling system, the automatic defrosting function will be activated. When the sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is lower or equal to -1 °C, the compressor will run continuously for 30 minutes, then stop, the machine starts to defrost, and the [Defrost] icon lights on. When the sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator is higher or equal to 2°C and the defrost time is longer or equal to 10 minutes, the auto-defrost mode stops and the compressor starts to work, the machine begins to dehumidify, the [Defrost] icon lights off.

Compressor protection function
When the compressor stops working and restarts immediately, the compressor protection function will be triggered because the cooling system pressure is not balanced. The compressor is equipped with 3 minutes delay function; the dehumidifier will be restarted after 3 minutes.

High/Low-temperature protection function
When the sensor detects the ambient temperature < 3 °C or > 40°C, the machine will stop working and the fan motor will continue to work at a previous set speed. When the sensor detects the ambient temperature ≥ of 5°C or ≤ 38°C, the machine returns to dehumidify mode. (It takes 3 minutes from the compressor stop to resume work for compressor protection purposes.)

Low humidity protection function
When the machine detects the ambient humidity ≤ 30%RH, the digital tube will show “LO”, the machine will stop dehumidifying, and the fan motor will work at low speed. When the machine detects the ambient humidity >35%RH, the digital tube will show the actual humidity, the machine will return to dehumidify. (It takes 3 minutes from the compressor stop to resume work for compressor protection purposes.) When the machine detects the humidity> 80%RH, the digital tube will show “HI”, and the machine will keep working at the previous set mode.

High-temperature fan speed switch function
When the machine dehumidifies in the high-temperature environment, the low- speed operation of the fan motor will increase the load of the compressor, so when the machine dehumidifies under a high-temperature environment, the fan speed will switch to the highest speed automatically. When the ambient temperature goes down, the fan speed will switch back to the previous set speed.

Continuous drainage function

When the dehumidifier needs continuous drainage, pull out the drain hole plug, and connect the drain hose with a 15mm inner diameter to the drain outlet on the rear case. When the dehumidifier runs continuously, the water will drain out through the drainage hose, then the water tank will not contain the water, the machine can work continuously and does not shut down due to the full water tank. During continuous water draining, the drainage hose has to be placed flatly on the ground. The drain hose cannot be curved or cocked, otherwise, the water cannot flow out smoothly or even cannot flow.
