Control panel / Operation instruction

Power
Press the Power Button to activate the device. Press the Power Button again, the device turns off.

MODE
Press the MODE Button to select one of four desired programs:

1. Normal dehumidification (adjustable fan speed and humidity setting) Icon with name in App: Normal
2. Continuous dehumidification (low fan speed, humidity setting not adjustable) Icon with name in App: Continuous
3. Strong dehumidification (high fan speed, fan speed and humidity setting not adjustable) Icon with name in App: Strong
4. Dry clothes mode (high fan speed, fan speed and humidity setting not adjustable) Icon with name in App: Dry clothes

Humidity setting
(Only for MODE program: Normal dehumidification) By pressing the Humidity Button, you can select the desired humidity level by pressing this button repeatedly until the required humidity level is displayed (from 30% to 80% in increments of 5%). Once you select your desired humidity level, simply stop pressing the button and your humidity level will be set. When the humidity level in the room reaches the set humidity level, the device will go into automatic sleep state and stops dehumidifying and air purifying. When the room’s actual humidity level increases again above your set humidity level, then the device will start dehumidifying and air purifying again. If the desired humidity level is reached at a constant level, you can switch with the air purification button for continuous air purification.

Negative ions attach onto dust particles, microorganisms and other unwanted particles in the air and connect them to each other. This way, the particles become heavier than air and fall onto the ground so that you can no longer breathe them in.
Negative ions are most found in the forest, mountains and by the sea. Negative ions ensures fresh and healthy air.

After filter replacement or filter cleaning reinstall the filters back into the filter frame compartment and assemble back to the device, see the illustration below.

Filter cleaning
The best effect for a longer lifespan of the Filters is reached by cleaning the filters once a month. If indoor air is extremely polluted, we advice to clean the filters more often ca. once per two weeks.
Clean the Pre-filter, Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter carefully with a brush or your vacuum cleaner. That way bigger dust particles like lint, hair, dust and dander of pets can be removed from the filters.

Warning!
Do not damage the filters, the filters must not be cracked. Damaged filters needs to be replaced. Never wet or rinse the filters (Only for Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter) with water. Filters that are rinsed with water needs to be replaced.

Signs for used up filters that needs to be replaced
(Only for Activated Carbon Filter and True HEPA H13 Filter) Increased sound, reduced air flow, congested filters, rising presence of smells. Filters needs also to be replaced by new ones when the True HEPA H13 Filter changes its color from white to grey or black.
