FUNCTION BUTTONS
POWER CONTROL
Press the power button to switch the dehumidifier ON or OFF.
HUMIDITY CONTROL SETTING
When the unit is switched ON, the Display Screen shows the current humidity percentage. Press (+) or (-) to select your preferred humidity level. The humidity is adjusted in increments of 5% by pressing (+) or (-). The adjustable Relative Humidity (RH) range is between 30% RH to 90% RH. Ten seconds after setting the preferred humidity setting, the display will revert to displaying the current humidity.
IMPORTANT: There is a 5% threshold when the desired humidity setting has been reached. The compressor will shut off once the relative humidity is 5% lower than your desired setting. The fan will continue to run for up to 3 minutes to cool the motor and will then shut off. The operation restores once the relative humidity is 5% higher than your desired setting.
Recommended Settings: It is recommended to leave the unit running at 30% humidity at High Fan Speed during the first 2 to 3 days until damp odors are removed. After a few days, when the Relative Humidity has been reduced to a more comfortable level, press (+) or (-) to choose a higher RH% that maintains a comfortable humidity level thereafter. A recommended healthy humidity level is between 40% and 50%.
NOTE: The humidity sensor senses current humidity in the surrounding area. It is normal for about a 5%-8 % variance above or below the actual relative humidity in the room. Therefore, if there is a slight variance, the unit may sometimes operate slightly longer or shorter than the set RH% level.
CONTINUOUS MODE
To activate the Continuous Mode, press the (-) button on the Display Screen until 
it appears. The 
indicator light will be illuminated. The unit will run continuously.
WATER TANK FULL ALERT
When the Water Tank is full, the

PUMP DOES NOT AUTO-RESTART AFTER POWER FAILURE
WARNING: For models with the Auto Drain Pump, the Auto Drain Pump function will not automatically recover after a power outage.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
Frost may build up on the internal coils of the unit. When there is frost buildup, the internal compressor will turn off, and the fan will continue to run until the frost has melted. Once the internal coils have defrosted and dried, the fan will continue to run for 8 minutes, and the compressor will automatically restart, and dehumidifying will resume.
DRAINING THE WATER
WARNING: Always drain and discard water collected from dehumidification. The water is not clean and cannot be used for drinking.
WARNING: Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and a drop of dish detergent every 1-2 weeks to prevent mold formation in and around the water tank. Rinse with clean water and dry it before reinstalling the tank into the unit.
Draining water collected in the Water Tank
The condensed water can be collected directly into the water tank. When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut OFF and the indicator will flash on the control panel, followed by a beeping sound.
IMPORTANT: Do not move the dehumidifier when the Water Tank is full, as it will be heavy and can cause water spillage.
- Locate the water tank at the front of the dehumidifier. Gently pull the water tank out.
- Grip the handle inside the water tank and carry the water tank to a sink to empty.
- Replace the empty water tank back into the front of the dehumidifier. Please make sure that the tank is properly positioned. The safety feature ensures that any misalignment of the tank and the unit will prevent the unit from turning back on.
IMPORTANT: Improper alignment or positioning of the water tank will cause the unit to pause operation.
A beeping sound and a warning light will flash when the water tank is not fitted properly.
For models with a built-in pump, the error code “P1” will display when the tank is not installed properly.
Continuous Water Drainage – Using a Continuous Water Drain Tube
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not use the pump function when you connect a continuous water drain tube.
A continuous water drain tube is included with this unit. To activate the continuous water draining function, you will require a suitable water drain (e.g., sink or drain hole at floor level) near the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The Continuous Drain Tube and Continuous Drain Cap come connected together.
- Locate the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Unscrew and remove the Direct Drain Cap. Insert and screw the Continuous Water Drain Tube into the Direct Drain Outlet.
- If there are leaks, the Continuous Water Drain Tube and Cap may have loosened and may not be connected properly. Disconnect, replace, and tighten again.
- Position the other end of the Continuous Water Drain Tube in the sink or drain. Make sure the tube is not bent or kinked, which might stop the water flow. Make sure the tube is secured over the drain and will not fall out of place, causing unwanted water spillage.
IMPORTANT: Make sure water can flow down the Continuous Water Drain Tube by keeping the tube angled down and free of bends or kinks.
IMPORTANT: If the unit is placed on uneven ground or the Drain Tube is installed incorrectly, the water may fill the water tank and stop running. Please check whether the ground is uneven and reinstall the Drain Tube.
