• Do not disconnect the power supply until the unit comes to a complete stop. Do not drag the power cord when the unit is operating.
• Do not plug in or unplug the Dehumidifier with wet hand. Doing so could result in electric shock.

Set up environment
Do not operate the Dehumidifier in the following abnormal situations

• Place and use the Dehumidifier on a stable and leveled surface with a slope less than 2°.
• An unleveled surface will cause excess operating noise or vibration, or leave the Unit in a tilted position that the water in the tank may overflow and wet the floor and surrounding objects, which in turn result in electric shock, electric leakage and fire.
• Do not place any objects on or close to the Dehumidifier, it may result in heat generation,fire and malfunction.

Do not install the Dehumidifier
in the following setting

• A place where it is likely to come into contact with water such as bathroom. This could cause electric shock, electric leakage and fire.
• Where the unit may be subject to oil or flammable gas leakage. The flammable gas around the Dehumidifier could cause fire or explosion. Elevated position such as on a table, as the Dehumidifier may drop and cause damage to the Unit.
• Where the ambient temperature of the Dehumidifier and drain hose is below freezing point. Water inside the drain hose may freeze, that maywet the surrounding objects when it thaws, and result in electric shock, electric leakage or fire.
• The Water Tank may consequently break and leak. Where drugs and chemicals are used, such as hospital, factory, laboratory and beauty salon.
• Chemicals in the air may affect the performanceof the Unit, cause leakage, heat generation, ignition and fire.
• Outdoor location where the Dehumidifier is exposed to direct sunlight or rain that may result in leakage, heat generation, ignition and fire.
• This Dehumidifier is for indoor use only. Where space is narrow and enclosed that may cause heat generation or fire.
• Do not use combustion appliances in the path of the airflow of the Dehumidifier, as this may cause incomplete combustion.

Power plug and power cord

• Do not remove the power plug by pulling the power cord, but by grabbing hold of the plug, as mishandling may cause result in fire caused by electric shock and short circuit.
• Unplug the Unit from the power source when not using it for an extended period of time. Insufficient insulation may cause electric shock, electric leakage and fire.

• Lift the Unit up to go over bumpy areas and where the casters get stuck easily.

1. Switch off the Unit, unplug it and remove water from the Water Tank.
2. Coil up the power cord and transport the Unit by grasping the Handle firmly.
   • Be cautious to keep the power cord from getting caught in the casters. Lift the Unit up by holding the Handle firmly to go over stairs or change direction of movement.

Tips

• Placing the Dehumidifier in the same spot for a long period of time may leave depression on carpet or dents on wood flooring.

Continuous Drainage

Caution

• A hose has to be properly installed for Continuous Drainage operation, or it may result in dampening the surrounding objects, electric shock, electric leakage or fire.
  • Check to make sure the hose is free of bends, and is not placed hole-side up
• Do not drain water continuously if the ambient temperature of the Dehumidifier and drain hose is below 0°C. Water inside the Unit and hose may freeze that may wet the surrounding objects when it thaws, and result in electric shock, Prohibited electric leakage and fire. Water Tank may consequently break and leak.

If a drain is available, the Dehumidifier can continuously drain water by installing a hose. This would enable the Unit to operate for a long period of time without the need to empty the Water Tank.

Specification of the drain hose
(Plastic hose readily available in the market)

Length: The length of the drain hose is suggested to be under 0.6 m. The end of the hose is placed below the Drainage Outlet by a minimum of 10 cm. Keep the hose free from clog to ensure proper drainage.
Internal Diameter: The internal and external diameters of the hose are 9 mm and 13 mm respectively. Stop the Dehumidifier before taking the following steps, and unplug it from the power socket.

Operation and Performance

• Dehumidifying capacity

  • Dehumidifying capacity (Operation at High Fan Speed)
    Operating the Dehumidifier under the conditions set out below, the dehumidifying capacity is the amountof moisture removed per day (24 hours): High Fan Speed Operation at a room temperature of 26.7°C, indoor humidity of 60%, with no preset humidity level, and the Louver fully open. Operating with other settings and different Louver swing angle would diminish the dehumidifying capacity.

• The correlation among room temperature, humidity and dehumidifying capacity

  • Dehumidifying capacity at constant room temperature The amount of dehumidifying increases with increasing humidity level and vice versa. Eg. Humidity level at 60%.
  • When the Unit operates at the preset Humidity Level,it stops Dehumidifying The fan stops running. The amount of moisture removed may be small in such a situation but this is not a malfunction.
  • When the machine is below the set humidity and the operation mode is [Set Humidity], it will automatically stop the dehumidification operation and the fan will stop running. Although the dehumidification volume will decrease at this time, it is not abnormal.

How does a dehumidifier work?

1. The Unit draws moist air from the environment and cools it with evaporator.
2. As moist air passes through the evaporator coils, moisture freezes and transforms into water droplet that drips down into the Water Tank.

Indoor air passes through the evaporator coils and condenses on the cold coil into water droplets.

Defrost cycle during operation

• When the room temperature drops below 16°C, the Dehumidifier may frost. The Defrosting cycle will be activated during Dehumidifying Operation every 38 minutes (takes about 8 minutes) by switching to Fan Operation, to ensure proper operation of the Unit.
• Display indicates “P1” during Defrosting Operation.
• Do not unplug the power cord to force abort the Defrosting Operation.

Rise of room temperature during operation

• The Dehumidifier does not have a cooler function.
• The Unit generates heat during operation that the room temperature may rise by 1°C -4°C.

Operating noise

• Do not unplug the power cord to force abort the Defrosting Operation.
• The noise of the movement of the refrigerant is rather loud at start-up but it quiets down after warm-up.
