Features
Powerful Dehumidifying Capability
Taking advantage of refrigeration technology, the dehumidifier powerfully removes moisture from the air to decrease the humidity level of the room and keep the indoor air dry and comfortable.
Unique Portable Design
The dehumidifier is built to be compact and lightweight. The casters on the bottom of the
unit make it easy to move from room to room.
Customized Mode
Allows you to set specific dehumidity percentage and operation mode for most frequently-using rooms in which you are using your dehumidifier (Sleeping Area—55%, Living Area—50% or Basement—45%).
Digital Mirage Display
Easily monitor humidity changes from across the room.
Adjustable dehumidification
Different dehumidification levels can be selected according to different room requirements.
Save Money
This dehumidifier is Energy-Star rated, and could quickly remove moisture from the air without running up your utility bill. Energy Star units not only save energy for the environment, but also cost 30% less to save your money comparing to non-Energy Star units.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.

Draining the Connected Water
When the drainage tank is full, the tank full indicator light will turn on, the operation will stop automatically and the buzzer will beep 3 times to alert the user, that the water need to be emptied from the drainage tank. And there are two ways to remove connected water.
Use the Bucket
- Lightly press on the sides of the tank with both hands and pull the tank out gently.
- Discard the collected water.
NOTE
- Do not remove the float from the water tank. The water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.
- If the drainage tank is dirty, wash it with cold or lukewarm water. Do not use detergent, scouring pads, chemically treated dust cloths, gasoline, benzene, thinner, or other solvents, as these can scratch and damage the tank and cause water leakage.
- When replacing the drainage tank, press the tank firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not positioned properly, the “TANK FULL” sensor will be activated, and the dehumidifier will not operate.
- Do not remove the float from the water tank. The water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.
Continuous Draining
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a garden hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose. The thread standard for garden hoses in the US and its territories is known as GHT or “garden hose thread” which has an outer diameter of 1 1/16 inches (1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.
- Place the dehumidifier on a level surface.
- Unscrew the cap on the back of the unit to access the garden hose nozzle.
- Thread a garden hose (not included) onto the accessible nozzle, leading to a floor drain, and cut to length.
- Make sure that there are no kinks or knots in the garden hose (See picture below).
- Turn on the unit and press the MODE button until it is set to CONTINUOUS.
Garden Hose Installation Reference Guide
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 drain outlet of the dehumidifier.
- Be sure to run the water hose sloping downward to let the water flow out smoothly.
- When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet.
