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 he most frequently used 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 Humidistat

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 compared 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, rt and dehumidification will resume.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER Button

Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off.

FILTER Button

When the Filter Alert Light is ON, it is time to clean the filter. Switch the unit off and carefully remove the filter from the unit, and clean it. Replace the filter and switch ON the unit.

FAN SPEED Button

Press to cycle through High, Medium, or Low fan modes. Higher fan speeds lead to increased moisture removal. When humidity has been reduced or quiet operation is preferred, set the fan to Medium or Low.

HUMIDITY Button

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 35% RH to 80% RH. If you want the dehumidifier to operate continuously regardless of the room humidity, press the MODE button until you see “CO” on the digital display. This will enable continuous operation, and the “Continuous” indicator will light up on the control panel.

MODE Button

Preset humidity level settings allow the user to easily move the dehumidifier room-to-room and select the corresponding mode for the location in which the dehumidifier is operating for optimum performance. Press the MODE button to choose from Sleeping Area (55%), Living Area (50%), or Basement (45%).

TIMER Button

Timer Auto On – To program the unit to automatically turn on, press the TIMER button when the unit is off. Press ▲ or ▼ to increase or decrease the timer in (30 min increments), 0.5 hours up to 10 hours. After 10 hours, each press of the ▲ or ▼ buttons will increase the timer in 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. Once the desired time is reached, the unit will automatically turn on.
Timer Auto Shut-Off – To program the unit to automatically turn off, press the TIMER button when the unit is on. Each press of the ▲ or ▼ buttons will change the timer setting by 30-minute increments.,from 0.5 hours to 10 hours. After 10 hours, each press of the ▲ or ▼ buttons will increase or decrease the timer i1-hourur increments up to 24 hours. Once the desired time is over, the unit will automatically power off.
Child-Lock Mode – To lock the control panel, press and hold the TIMER button for 3 seconds. Locking the control panel prevents someone from accidentally changing the settings. When locked, the LOCK indicator will light up. Press and hold the TIMER button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.

MIRAGE Button

Backlit display on the front of the dehumidifier that shows the actual humidity level in the room to be easily seen from across the room. Press the MIRAGE button to turn the Mirage Display on and once again to turn the Mirage Display off.

REMOVING COLLECTED WATER

There are 2 options to remove water collected by your dehumidifier.

Option 1: Drain Bucket

When the drainage bucket is full, the bucket 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 needs to be emptied from the drainage bucket.

Emptying the Drainage bucket

Lightly press on the sides of the bucket with both hands and pull the bucket out gently.
Drain the collected water.

NOTE

Do not remove the float from the water bucket. 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 bucket.
If the drainage bucket 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 bucket and cause water leakage.
When replacing the drainage bucket, press the bucket firmly into place with both hands.

Option 2: Continuous Drainage

Garden Hose Installation Setup

Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a garden hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. When installing hoses, drain hose connectors (placed in the bucket) are required. 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 (not included). 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 11/16 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, lead 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 set to CONTINUOUS

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Placing the dehumidifier on an uneven surface or improper hose installation may result in water filling up the bucket and cause the unit to shut off. Empty bucket if the shut-off occurs, then check the dehumidifier location and the hose for proper setup. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
