” will light off when the defrosting is completed, then the dehumidifier begins to dehumidify automatically.
NOTE: Frequent defrost process indicates that the room temperature is too low. Therefore, if the room temperature is lower than 60°F, please consider adding heat to promote proper drying.

Setting
Power
Press the “power” button to turn the dehumidifier on. When the dehumidifier is on, the “” indicator lights off, and the “
” indicator lights up.
Check the Room Humidity
Check the room humidity readout (““) on the control panel.
Set a Desired Humidity Percentage Value
Press the “” or “
” button to preset your desired humidity level. The humidity level can be set within a range of 10%RH(Relative Humidity) to 90%RH(Relative Humidity) in 1%RH increments. The setting humidity needs to be at least 5% lower than the room humidity. After setting the target humidity, press “
” or wait 5 seconds to confirm.
NOTE:
- The dehumidifier will stop and start automatically to maintain the room humidity level within a range of ±5% of the preset target humidity.
For example, if the set humidity is 50%:
When the detected humidity is 45%, 5% lower than the preset humidity, the dehumidifier will automatically stop and enter into standby mode, the compressor stops working, and the indicators “” and “
” flash.
When detected humidity rises to 55%, 5% higher than the preset humidity, the dehumidifier will automatically restart.
- If the preset humidity is equal to or higher than the room humidity, the dehumidifier will not start.
- If the preset humidity level is 10%, the dehumidifier will enter continuous mode and run continuously.
Timer Setting
The “” function enables you to either delay AUTO-ON or delay AUTO-OFF the dehumidifier in the range from 1 hour to 24 hours. Press “
” and “

Smart Functions
3 Minutes Compressor Delay Mechanism
To avoid any damage to the dehumidifier, the unit will not start working in a 3-minute complete cycle. In other words, if you turn the dehumidifier off and then restart it immediately, the compressor will not kick in until 3 minutes later. During this period, you can see the “” indicator flashing on the LCD screen until the compressor kicks in.
Auto Defrost
When the frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will stop working, and the fan will continue to run until the frost melts. When the dehumidifier is defrosting, you can see the “” indicator light up on the LCD screen.
Auto Drainage
Thanks to the built-in pump, the dehumidifier will drain the condensation water automatically.
Auto-Restart
If the dehumidifier shuts off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previous function settings automatically when the power resumes.
The timer function will not be retained, and you need to reset it.
Temperature Protection Function
When the room temperature is higher than 113°F, the dehumidifier will automatically enter into HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SYSTEM, where the LCD screen shows “-H” and the compressor stops working.
When the room temperature is lower than 40° F, the dehumidifier will automatically enter into LOW-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SYSTEM, where the LCD screen shows “-L” and the dehumidifier stops working.
Drainage
Pump Drainage
During operation, the dehumidifier will automatically pump the water out via the drain hose when the pump reservoir is full. No need for manual intervention.
Before turning on the dehumidifier, make sure the hose has been connected to the drain outlet properly.
NOTE:
Place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket, or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. (Ensure there are no kinks or other obstructions that will stop the water from flowing.)
If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows. The drain hose for the water pump can drain up to 15ft vertically. More than 15ft may cause water flow back to the pump and result in water leakage.
Continuous Drainage
NOTE:
- Please make sure the connections are securely connected to avoid water leakage.
- The hose should be lower than the drain outlet to avoid backflow.
- The hose cannot be distorted or have substantial twisting.
Maintenance
WARNING:
Ensure the dehumidifier is turned OFF and unplugged before cleaning or maintenance.
Machine Cleaning
