OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE CORRECTLY

This unit may have been tilted or placed upside down during shipping. To ensure this device works properly, please ensure this unit is upright for at least 24 hours before initial use.

This dehumidifier is designed to operate with a working environment between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). When using dehumidifier, other objects surrounding the machine at least need to be kept a distance of 7.9 inches (20cm), as shown in the picture on the right:

CONTROL PANEL

Power Button

Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off.

Humidity Setting

The humidity level can be set within a range of 30%RH to 80%R1-1 in 5% increments.

• When it starts to work, it will first automatically detect and show the humidity (and temperature) in the room, then you can press or hold the Setting Button to change the humidity selection in 5% increments. (After you set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual humidity.)
• When the room huimidity level overtakes or drops to the level you set, the duhumidifier will automatically start working or stop.
• When the humidity level is set at 30%RH, the dehumidifier will be at CONTINUOUS dehumidifying mode.

Timer Setting

The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 1 hour to 24 hours. When the unit is running, selecting TIMER will turn the unit off in the set hours later (Delay Stop). When the unit is off, then the TIMER will turn the unit on in the hours you earlier selected (Delay Start).

TIMER setting: Press or hold the Timer Button to change the delay timer at 1 hour increment, up to 24 hours. After TIMER setting is finished, the control panel will display the remaining time (8, 7 or 6, etc.) until the unit starts or stops.

If then press TIMER button again, the control panel will display the room temperature and humidi-ty value as before. After that, adjust the TIMER setting to 00 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.
For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as previous setting.

 NOTE

• Before entering TIMER setting, make sure power is being supplied to the unit.
• Before entering TIMER setting, make sure you press the Setting Button to set a desired room humidity first.

Speed Button

Control the fan speed. Press to select either High or Normal fan speed. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

Set the speed high for maximum removal first, when the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is more preferred, you can return the speed back to Normal.

FULL TANK Indicator Light

When the tank is full, the light will flash and the machine will automatically shut off. After the water in the tank is emptied, put the tank back in place, then the indicator will go out, and the machine will restart.

Action Description

Power on:
Compressor starts after the fan work for a few seconds.

Power off:
Compressor shuts down at once, and the fan will stop after a few seconds. (When other malfunction occurs, or the humidity reaches desired level, the fan will stop after tens of seconds).

Tips:
The compressor features “3 minutes delay protection” function — While the dehumidifier is powered, the compressor can only start again three minutes after its last shutdown.

Faults and Protection Codes

Fault Phenomenon	Analysis of Causes	Processing Method
Humidity always shows “25% RH” — but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.	Humidity sensor failure?	Set the humidity to 30%RH,the dehumidifier can still continue to work, and can be used normally.
		Repair and replace the humidity sensor.
Humidity always shows “99% RH” — but there is a big difference from the actual humidity.	Water on the surface of humidity sensor?	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 humidity sensor is removed, it will return to normal.
		Repair and replace the humidity sensor.

REMOVING THE COLLECTED WATER

There are two ways to remove the collected water:

Use the Water Tank

When the water tank is full, remove the tank and empty it.

 NOTE

• Replace the empty tank back into the unit, and once seated correctly, the unit will start up again.
• You should hear a click when the tank is in the correct position.
• Do not remove the float in the tank, otherwise the sensor will not be able to sense the water level properly, so that the water will overflow from the tank when the it’s full.

Continuous Draining

Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a draining hose to the dehumidifier.(It may be helpful to remove the water tank first so you can see the connection better. )
Note: The inner diameter of draining outlet is 0.39 inches.

 NOTE

• Make sure the connection is tight and there is no leaking.
• Lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility, the drainage facility should be lower than the draining outlet of the dehumidifier.
• Be sure to run the slopping water hose downward to let the water flow out smoothly.
• When the continuous drainage feature is not being used, remove the draining hose from the outlet.
• When on manual drainage method, insert the “rubber plug” on the continuous draining outlet to prevent water leakage.
• When on continuous drainage method, use the draining hose, insert the “rubber plug” on the water tank draining outlet to prevent water leakage.
