WHEN MOVING

NOTE: For the vulnerable floor, uneven floor or long wool carpet, lift the main unit when you move it;
otherwise, the floor or carpet surface may be damaged.

HOW TO OPERATE

AUTO DEFROST

• During defrosting, the defrosting indicator is on, the compressor stops, and the fan keeps rotating at the highest speed. After the defrosting ends, the dehumidifying function starts, the compressor restarts, and the fan resumes the preset speed.
• When the temperature sensor fixed on the copper pipe of evaporator detects that the dehumidifier temperature is lower than or equal to -1°C (and the relative room temperature is lower than or equal to 13°C), the dehumidifier will start the automatic defrosting procedure, namely, the dehumidifier defrosts automatically after the dehumidifying mode runs for 20 minutes; when the evaporator surface is defrosted completely, the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is higher than or equal to 2°C and the defrosting duration is longer than or equal to 10 minutes, the dehumidifier will stop defrosting and enable the dehumidifying function.

COMPRESSOR STOP/START PROTECTION

• During operation, if the compressor stops due to any operation, the dehumidifier will automatically switch to the function of restarting the compressor after stopping it for 3 minutes, namely, the compressor cannot be restarted in 3 minutes, but other functions are available.
• In the dehumidifying mode, if you remove and replace the water tank or power off and power back on the dehumidifier, the dehumidifying function will start after an interval of 3 minutes.

CONTROL PANEL

EASY-TO-USE FUNCTIONS

After you insert the power plug, all the LED indicators and digital display are on for 1 second and then turn off. Meanwhile, the buzzer sends three alert sounds. Each time you press a button, the buzzer sends a alert tone. When you press the ON/OFF button to power the unit off, the buzzer sends a long beep sound.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

AUTO STOP AT TANK FULL

•  If the water in the water tank reaches the set level when the dehumidifier operates in the dehumidifying mode, both the compressor and the fan motor stop running, the unit stops operation the buzzer sends out ten warning sounds, and only the Tank full indicator is on.

POWER FAILURE MEMORY

•  After you power off the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button, when you power it back on by pressing the same button, the dehumidifier will begin operating with the mode before it is powered off.
  If power fails while the dehumidifier is operating (i.e. the power plug is removed), the dehumidifier will memorize the operating mode before the power failure and resume this mode automatically after it is powered back on.

LOW/HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

• The function eliminates the risk that the dehumidifier may operate in an abnormal environment. When the temperature/humidity sensor of the air inlet detects that the current ambient temperature is lower than or equal to 0°C or higher than or equal to 40°C (including open circuit or short circuit of the temperature sensor (NTC)), the dehumidifier will stop running and enable the over-temperature protection function. The buzzer keeps sending out three long and two short warning tones, all the indicators turn off, and only the digital display blinks and shows C1.
• When the temperature sensor of the copper pipe of evaporator detects that its temperature is higher thanor equal to 40°C within two continuous minutes, the dehumidifier will stop running and enable the over-temperature protection function. All the indicators turn off, only the digital display blinks and shows C2, none of the buttons work, and the buzzer does not beeps. In this case, you must power off and back on the dehumidifier.

HOW TO DRAIN

After the water tank is removed, the Tank full indicator is on and the operation stops.

Note:

• Always stop the operation and dispose water before moving the main unit.
  (Water in the tank may spill and damage household goods.)

• Clean the inside of water tank periodically (about once a week).
  (Failing to clean for a long period of time may increase mold and bacteria which causes bad odor.)
