INSTALLATION
The following space must be maintained to ensure the operating efficiency of the dehumidifier.
Note:
If the dehumidifier gets interference from other household appliances, such as
television and radio cassette player, keep the equipment is at least 70cm away
from the dehumidifier.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Defrosting
The evaporator in the dehumidifier may defrost automatically if it is operated
in a room with a temperature less than 18°C. Defrosting may start and operate
for approximately 5 minutes every 25 minutes or even longer.
- During the defrosting operation, the dehumidification function and air purification function may suspend.
- Do not turn off the switch or pull out the power plug of the dehumidifier during the defrosting operation.
This dehumidifier is not intended to function as an air conditioner set to extreme low temperatures. The purpose of this dehumidifier is to remove high humidity from rooms. It can’t be used lower the temperature.
Room temperature during the operation
This dehumidifier doesn’t have cooling function. It will produce heat during
operation and increase the room temperature by up to 1 – 4°C. This temperature
rise may be more noticeable in smaller spaces.
Dehumidifying capacity
The diagram below shows the daily dehumidifying capacity of the dehumidifier.
This capacity is based on a 30°C room temperature, 80% of relative humidity
and the data when the air outlet is fully open. At different temperatures and
relative humidity, it may have different dehumidifying capacities.
In the same room temperature, the dehumidifying capacity is higher in higher
relative humidity and the dehumidifying capacity is lower in lower relative
humidity. In the same relative humidity, the dehumidifying capacity is higher
in higher temperature and the dehumidifying capacity is lower in lower
temperature.
If the dehumidifier is placed in the cabinet, its dehumidifying capacity may
greatly reduce in a short period after operating.
Water tank
- Confirm the tank is correctly installed in position. The dehumidifier can’t operate if the water in the tank is full or isn’t installed well.
- Hold the water tank and slide it outwards.
Emptying the water tank
- Pull out the water tank from the dehumidifier.
- Tip the water tank upside down and empty out the water slowly.
- Install the water tank back into the dehumidifier.
Note:
After the dehumidification, the water tank may contain water. When the water
tank is full, the full indictor will turn on.
OPERATION
Power button:
Press to turn the dehumidifier on/off.
“+” and “_” buttons:
Humidity can be set (humidity adjustment is only effective in continuous mode), the setting range is 30%-80% (5% adjustment coefficient)-C0 (forced operation), the above setting cycle is adjustable and the digital tube flashes for 5 seconds when setting and it will automatically exit the setting state if there is no operation within 5 seconds. set timer under timer mode.
Dehumidification Mode:
Press the mode button to cycle settings among continuous mode, drying mode,
and confirm with a delay of 5 seconds when switching modes.
CLEANING & CARE
Warning
- Please don’t plug in with wet hands to avoid electric shock.
- Please cut off the power supply before daily cleaning and maintenance.
- Don’t dismantle the floater from the water tank.

and out of the operating range of the dehumidifier.| The dehumidifier may
resume automaticity when the room temperature returns to the working range.
The clothing isn’t drying fast.| The room temperature is too low.| The wet
clothing may dry more slowly in low
temperatures.
Supplementary Issues
Issue | Causes |
---|---|
Unit stops during the operation | It is defrosting |
Reduced dehumidifying capacity | The dehumidifying capacity drops with the room |
temperature and humidity.
The humidity of the room will not reduce| The room area is too big and outside
the operating range. The door and windows of the room aren’t closed. Other
appliances in the room may be impacting the effectiveness of the unit.
The machine unit emits a sound during operation.| The sound made by the
flowing of the refrigerant. This is normal and may eliminate or lower
automatically while the system operates stably.
