5. Clean the inside of the tank as well as the outside.

6. Put back the empty tank into the unit properly.

7. Press the POWER button to resume operating.

8. If the Water Full light does not extinguish, check that the float is in the correct place.

9. Pull out the water tank

10. Empty the water tank

11. Push the bucket gently all the way into the unit.

Warning!

1. Do not discard the magnets and plastic rivets in the tank. Otherwise, the dehumidifier cannot operate properly, and the machine will not automatically stop working when the water tank is full. Water overflow may damage your floor.
2. Please make sure to clean the condensed water in the tank and put the tank back in the proper position
3. If the water tank is dirty, please rinse it with clean water. Avoid using detergents, steel wire balls, chemical dust removers, diesel, benzene, thinners other solvents. Otherwise, it can damage the tank and cause leakage.
4. Put the water tank in its original position. Otherwise, the indicator light will always be red and the machine cannot start working again

Continuous Drainage

1. Take out the hose and straighten it.
2. Insert one end of the hose into the drain outlet at the top of the tank and connect the other end to the bathroom, floor drain, outdoor or bucket-like container, defined drain area 

Warning

3. The drain hose must be firmly connected to the outlet

MAINTENANCE

Note: before cleaning and maintaining the machine, please be sure to turn off the machine and unplug the power to avoid electric shock.
CLEARING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks)
Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.
Switch off the unit and remove the air filter.
