OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Setting

Mode Setting

The dehumidifier has three modes: Dry Clothes Mode, Dehumidify Mode, and Continuous Dehumidify Mode. When powered on, press the “MODE” button, and the device will cycle through the Dry Clothes, Dehumidify, and Continuous Dehumidify modes. Each time you press the mode button, the working mode will switch accordingly.

• Dry Clothes Mode: Humidity and fan speed cannot be set.
• Dehumidify Mode: Humidity and fan speed can be set.
• Continuous Dehumidify Mode: Humidity cannot be set, and fan speed can be set.

Humidity Setting

The humidity level can be set within a range of 30%RH to 80%RH in 5% increments. When it starts work, it will first automatically detect and show the room humidity. In dehumidification mode (other modes are invalid), press the “HUMI” button to change the humidity selection in 5% increments. The icon will flash and show the humidity setting. When theicon is flashing, you can set the humidity within a range of 30%RH to 80%RH in 5% increments. Press the “HUMI” button to make the humidity setting increase by 5%RH. If the machine hasn’t been operated for 5 seconds, the icon will show the actual current room humidity.

• When the humidity is above or below the humidity value you have set, the dehumidifier will automatically turn on or off.
• When the humidity level is set at 30%RH, the dehumidifier will work in continuous dehumidifying mode.

Timer Setting:

With this button, you can preset the time when the dehumidifier automatically starts and shuts down, setting an AUTO-ON timer when the dehumidifier is off and setting an AUTO-OFF timer when the dehumidifier is on.

• Press the “TIMER” button to select the timer by 1-hour increments. You can set the timer for up to 24 hours. It will start to do the countdown when you start the timer.
• Press and hold the “TIMER” button for several seconds to make the selection of the timer faster.
• If the time is set to 00, this is called the invalid time. If you set the timer successfully, the indicator light above the “TIMER” button will light up. The LED screen will show the time for several seconds, and then show the current humidity.

LOCK (2S)

When the unit is turned on, press “LOCK” and hold for 3-5 seconds; the control panel and other buttons will be locked. To unlock the control panel and buttons, press and hold the “LOCK” button again for 3-5 seconds.

Speed Button

Controls the fan speed. Press to select either High or Low fan speed. Higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal. Set the fan control to High for maximum moisture removal. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is preferred, set the fan control to Low.

Power Off Memory Function:

• The device automatically restores the working state after powering on.
• If the device is turned on and a power interruption occurs, after starting the unit again, it will keep the parameters or settings that were set up.
• If the device is turned off and a power interruption happens, the device will still be in a power-off status when turned on.

Overflow Protection

When the tank is full of water, the machine will turn off automatically. The indicator light will flash, and the buzzer will sound for a few seconds. After you empty the water from the bucket, the indicator light will turn off and the machine will restart to work.

Auto Defrost Function

When the dehumidifier is running at a lower temperature, the system will automatically determine whether there is a presence of frost. If the machine determines there is a presence of frost, it will defrost automatically. When the machine is defrosting, the fan will run at high wind speed and the compressor stops.

Display Status Description

• After setting the circuit of the equipment, the “Power” button will light up when the dehumidifier is in standby (power off) state.
• Timer indicator light “o”: If the timer is set up properly, the indicator will light up; otherwise, the indicator light will be off.
• High-speed indicator light “HIGH”: If you set the unit to high-speed fan mode, the indicator will light up.
• Low-speed indicator light “LOW”: If you set the unit to low-speed fan mode, the indicator will light up.
• Dry clothes light indicator “DRY”: When dry clothes mode is selected, it will be on; otherwise, it will be off.
• Dehumidify mode light indicator “DEHU”: When the device starts to dehumidify, the indicator light will be on. When the room environment humidity reaches the preset humidity, the light will flash. Otherwise, it will be off.

• Water full light indicator “: When the water tank or bucket is full, this indicator will be flashing.
• When the device is in alarm mode, the display panel will display an alarm error. (The alarm error and humidity data will be flashing alternately.)
• When the device is working, the data on the display panel is the humidity value.

Description of front prompt light

• 0% ≤ Current ambient humidity ≤ 39%: the scene light shows “light green”.
• 40% ≤ Current ambient humidity ≤ 60%: the scene light shows “green”.
• 61% ≤ Current ambient humidity ≤ 80%: the scene light shows “blue”.
• 81% ≤ Current ambient humidity ≤ 100%: the scene light shows “orange”.

Instructions for Drying Clothes

The dehumidifier can be used for drying clothes in rainy weather.

• Step 1: Hang the washed clothes in a small space such as a cloakroom, bathroom, or storage room. Note: Keep the unit away from water dripping from the washed clothes.
• Step 2: Open the dehumidifier and choose the “DRY” mode. It is best if you let the air outlet of the dehumidifier blow air directly onto the clothes.
• The drying effect will vary depending on the thickness of clothes, the number of clothes, and the size of the drying space. Theoretically, the effect will be better when clothes are few, thin, and the space is small.
• The drying process would take 3-8 hours, and we suggest that the continuous drainage mode is more suitable when drying clothes.

Fault Phenomenon

Drainage Guide

There are two ways to remove collected water.

Use the Water Tank:

When the water tank is full, the Full Tank Alert indicator will light up, and the dehumidifier will automatically shut down until the tank has been emptied and placed back into the unit. The water in the tank shall be emptied as follows:

• Do not move the dehumidifier at this time in case the water spills on the floor. Gently remove the water bucket from the dehumidifier.
• To remove the bucket to empty the collected water, gently remove the water bucket from the dehumidifier.
• When the water tank is placed, hold the tank tightly with your hand. If the tank is not properly placed, the water-full sensor will still be activated, and the dehumidifier will not operate.
• Pull the water tank out from the bottom with your hand.
• Open the cover of the water tank.

Continuous Drainage:

Remove the power supply, take out the water tank, open the drain cover, insert the water pipe into the continuous drain port, and push it back into the water tank. Connect the power supply to start the operation and keep the water tank installed; then, the continuous drainage function can be carried out.

1. Open the drain cover and remove the grey rubber plug.
2. Insert the water pipe into the continuous drain port.
3. Invert the water tank to empty the water.
4. Put the water tank back in place; the water full indicator will go out.

CARE & CLEANING

To avoid possible electric shock, ensure to turn the dehumidifier off and disconnect the plug from the power source before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

• Clean the Vent and Case: Wipe the dehumidifier with a soft and slightly wet towel. Do not splash water directly onto the dehumidifier. Doing so may cause an electric shock, insulation deterioration, or cause the dehumidifier to rust. The air intake and outlet vents get soiled easily; please clean them regularly and timely.
• Filter Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner to gently suck the dust from the surface of the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wipe it with warm water and a gentle cleaner and dry it completely. Then insert the filter back into the dehumidifier, as shown in the figure below.
• Clean the Reservoir: Every few weeks, clean the reservoir to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Follow the steps below to open the water bucket correctly to clean:
• Pick up the handle at an angle of 45° and then pull one side of the handle outward horizontally to take the handle off.
• Partially fill the reservoir with clean water and add a little mild detergent.
• Swish it around in the reservoir, empty, and rinse.
• Dehumidifier Storage: When not using the dehumidifier for a long period, please follow the steps below to clean the dehumidifier and store it properly:
• Operate the dehumidifier on high fan mode for half a day, and then wait 1 day before emptying the reservoir.
• Clean the dehumidifier housing, water reservoir, and air filter. Ensure the whole dehumidifier is clean and dry.
• Take out the water bucket, put the plug and cord into the water bucket if possible, and then replace the bucket in the dehumidifier.
• Cover the dehumidifier with a plastic bag.
• Store the dehumidifier upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
