USER MANUAL Air Conditioners
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below. Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply cord.
Power Supply Requirements

Recommended Grounding Method
This dehumidifier must be grounded. This dehumidifier is equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded three-prong outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded three-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■ To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to the Nation Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-last edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: Your model may differ from the one shown.

NOTE:
Starting/Stopping the Dehumidifier
NOTE:
■ Before turning on the dehumidifier, be sure that the bucket is empty and fits all the way into the dehumidifier.
■ Each time you unplug the dehumidifier or power is interrupted, the controls will return to the previous settings when power is restored.
■ Humidity displayed is between 30% Relative Humidity and 90% Relative Humidity.
■ Humidity can be set between 30% Relative Humidity and 80% Relative Humidity.
■ It's important to set the desired humidity level to an achievable setting. To ensure energy- efficient operation, only use the dehumidifier in a closed space, with no open windows or other sources of moist air (to avoid continuous running).
■ Operating temperature is between 38ºF to 90ºF (3.2ºC to 32.2ºC). At temperatures of 38ºF(3.2ºC)or less, water freezes inside the product. At temperatures over 90ºF(32.2ºC),the internal temperature of the product trips a protective device which deactivates the product to avoid product damage.
■ The compressor has a 3-minute delay before restarting. If the product is stopped and immediately restarted, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.
■ When the dehumidifier is operating, the indoor temperature will rise. The dehumidifier does not have a cooling /heating function.
Heat is generated during operation, so the room temperature may be increased by about 6ºF(3ºC) depending on the usage conditions (indoor temperature, size of the room).
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your dehumidifier will operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
Empty Bucket Light
If this light is on, the fan and the compressor will stop running.This light indicates that you need to check: Empty Bucket Light
■ If the bucket is full, empty and re-install bucket.
■ If the bucket is not in position, remove the bucket and re-install it. Make sure the bucket fits all the way into the dehumidifier and the bucket light is off, or dehumidifier will not run.
Fan Speed
■ LOW-Will reach the desired humidity setting with lower sound level.
■ MED-Will achieve set humidity at normal speed.
■ HIGH-Will reach the desired humidity setting faster.
NOTE:
Once the relative humidity of the room hit the desired setting, the compressor will stop and the fan will be off periodically.
The fan may periodically turn on, to read the humidity level, without the compressor running.
Desired Humidity-Mode
1. Press MODE to select the desired humidity setting.
2. Choose Auto Dry, Continuous/Super or Manual
■ AUTO DRY: The dehumidifier will operate in dry mode only. The desired humidity is set to 50% automatically. The fan speed can be adjusted. The desired humidity can not be adjusted.
■ CONTINUOUS/SUPER DRY: The desired humidity is set to 30% automatically. The fan speed can be adjusted. The desired humidity can not be adjusted.
■ MANUAL SET: The dehumidifier will operate at the selected fan speed and desired humidity level. If the humidity level of the room is higher than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn on. If the humidity level of the room is lower than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn off, as well as the fan.
NOTE: The de-icing function will turn off the compressor if a low temperature condition occurs. Pressing the MODE button or the plus or minus button will not increase or decrease the amount of moisture removed. When the de-icer senses then correct operating temperature, the compressor will cycle back on. Some freezing is normal will dehumidifiers are used at low temperatures.
Your new dehumidifier is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section explains how to clean and care for your dehumidifier.
To avoid damage to the compressor, never store or ship the appliance upside down or sideways.
Cleaning The Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best operating efficiency. Check the filter every two weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter completely before reinstalling to ensure maximum operatingefficiency.
Cleaning the Dehumidifier
Exterior
Water bucket
Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water bucket with a mild detergent to avoid growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Water level float
The dehumidifier has a EMPTY BUCKET light and a water float. The bucket must be properly aligned for the water level float and the EMPTY BUCKET light to work.
NOTE: Be sure the float is snapped correctly in place.

Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.
Dehumidifier will not run
Is the dehumidifier turned on?
Turn on the dehumidifier.
Is the power cord plugged into a grounded three-prong outlet?
Plug into a grounded three-prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements” on page 5.
Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical Requirements” on page 5.
Is the bucket installed properly?
Reinstall the bucket so that it fits all the way into the dehumidifier.
Does the bucket need to be emptied?
Empty the bucket.
Is the water level float in place?
Remove the bucket. Make sure the float is snapped in place. Reinstall the bucket.
Did the dehumidifier suddenly stop operating, and won't turn on?
Confirm the power is connected, and the bucket is in place. If the unit still doesn't operate, call Hisense for Warranty service.
Ice forms on coils
All models have an automatic de-icing functiong that will shut off the compressor and allow the fan to run.
This reduces the ice build-up on the coils. The compressor will cycle back on when the de-icing function senses the correct operating temperature.
Dehumidifier runs but does not dehumidify
Did the dehumidifier suddenly stop operating, and won't turn on?
Confirm the power is connected, and the bucket is in place. If the unit still doesn’t operate, call Hisense for warranty service
All models have an automatic de-icing function that will shut off the compressor and allow the fan to run.

Is the control set to Continuous/Super Dry?
If you have selected Continuous/Super Dry Run, the dehumidifier will run continuously. If the room humidity level is low, little or no water may be collected.
The filter is dirty or obstructed debris.
Clean the filter.
Air coming from the dehumidifier is warm
