Instructions for Drying Clothes
-
The dehumidifier can be used for drying clothes in rainy weather. Step 1.
Hang the washed clothes in a small space such as a cloakroom, bathroom, or storage room.
Note: Keep away the unit from the water drips of the washed clothes.
Step 2. Open the dehumidifier and set the humidity level at 30%RH. It is best if you let the air outlet of the dehumidifier blow air to the clothes directly. -
The drying effect will vary from the thickness of clothes, the number of clothes, and the size of the drying space. Theoretically, the effect will be better when clothes are few, thin and the space is small.
-
The drying process would take 3-8 hours, and we suggest that continuous drainage mode would be more suitable when drying clothes.
Faults & Processing Methods
Fault Phenomenon | Analysis of Causes | Processing Method |
---|
Humidity always shows “25%RH”(There is a big difference from the actual
humidity)| Humidity sensor failure?| Set the humidity to 30%RH, the a
dehumidifier can still continue to
work, and can be used normally.
Repair and replace the humidity sensor.
Humidity always shows “99%RH”(There is a big difference from the actual
humidity)| 1. Water on the surface of the humidity sensor?
2. Humidity sensor failure?| The dehumidifier is not affected and can
continue to work, and
can be used normally.
Please let the dehumidifier keep working for a period of time, after the water
on the surface of the humidity sensor is removed, it will return to normal.
Repair and replace the humidity sensor.

Note: Before starting the machine, please ensure that the air outlet has been opened, otherwise the machine will overheat. Do not pull out the power cord directly to stop the machine.
Empty The Water Tank
Two ways are available to remove the collected water.
Use The Water Tank
When the water tank is already full, the WATER FULL indicator will light up,
the dehumidifier will automatically shut down until the tank has been emptied
and placed back in the unit.

Pull the water tank out from the bottom with both of your hands.| Open the
cover of the water tank.
|
Empty the water tank.| Put the water tank back in place, the water full
indicator will go out.
Note:
- Do not remove the float from the water tank. If the float in the water tank is removed, the sensor may not be able to determine the water level stored in the tank properly which may lead to a water overflow leak from the water tank.
- If the water tank is dirty, just use cold water or warm water to clean it. Do not use detergent, steel wool, chemically treated dust cloth, gasoline, benzene, thinner or other solvents. Otherwise, it may damage the water tank and cause it to leak.
- When placing back the water tank, use your hands to press the tank back in its place. If the water tank is not placed properly, sensors or protections from water overflow may not operate as expected.
Continuous Drainage
Pull out the power supply, unscrew the drainage cap, remove the black rubber
plug, insert the water hose into the continuous drainage port, and put it back
into the water tank.
Connect the power supply to start the operation. The water outlet of the
warehouse should be lower than the continuous drainage port by more than 3.9
inches and the water hose cannot be bent.
(Note: The diameter of the continuous drainage port is 0.63 inches.)
