HOW A DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS

• When the dehumidifier is switched ON, a fan pulls moisture-laden air into the dehumidifier where it passes through dehumidifying coils inside the unit. These coils condense moisture from the air and collect it in the water tank. The dry air is then exhausted from the dehumidifier. The air flows through the air vents of the dehumidifier into the room as dry, warm air.

IMPORTANT: The dehumidifier is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C) and 89°F (32°C). The dehumidifier’s performance may be greatly reduced if room temperature is beyond this temperature range.

SELECTING A LOCATION - IMPORTANT

• Before using the dehumidifier, place the unit UPRIGHT for at least 4 hours before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize in case it was transported on its side or upside-down.
• For optimal efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep all doors, windows and other outside entrances to the room closed.

• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not drop below 41°F (5°C)
• Place the dehumidifier at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) away from other objects (e.g. curtains or furniture) that may restrict airflow from the back or through the air vents of the unit.
• The dehumidifier must be positioned on a level floor.

IMPORTANT: The effectiveness of the dehumidifier can be influenced by different factors. One factor is the rate at which new, moisture-laden air enters the room and the amount of air circulating in and out of the area to be dehumidified. For example, if a door to a basement is constantly opened, letting new, moisture-laden air into the room, dehumidification will take longer than if the door was kept closed. If the dehumidifier is in a room with a storage closet or cabinets, it will have little or no effect in drying the inside of the storage closet or cabinets unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of these spaces. To dehumidify these spaces, open the storage door or cabinet doors to allow air circulation. You may find that installing a second dehumidifier may be required for larger enclosed areas.

UNPACKAGING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

• This Dehumidifier is packaged with a colored or transparent tape to secure some parts during transportation. Remove the colored or transparent packaging tape from the unit.

1. Gently pull the water tank from out of the dehumidifier
2. Remove the splash guard from the top part of the water tank
3. Take out the power plug, drain hose and other accessories, which is placed inside the tank of the dehumidifier.
4. Once all accessories have been removed, replace the splash guard onto the top part of the water tank. Make sure that the tank is properly positioned.

• There is a Foam Float inside the water tank that senses the water level to automatically stop dehumidification when the water tank is full. Make sure the Foam Float is positioned correctly inside the water tank by ensuring it lies level with the top edge of the water tank.

DO NOT REMOVE THIS FOAM FLOAT.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

POWER CONTROL

Press 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 back 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. 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% 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 appears. The indicator light will be illuminated. The unit will run continuously

WATER TANK FULL ALERT

When the Water Tank is full, the indicator will be illuminated. The unit will beep for 3 seconds. The compressor will shut off, and the fan will stop for a few minutes. To switch off the indicator light, empty the water tank and when replacing it ensure the tank is secured properly in place.

IMPORTANT: Do not place the Water Tank on the floor when full. In case of an uneven base which may cause the tank to spillover.

TIMER CONTROL

PUMP DOES NOT AUTO-RESTART AFTER POWER FAILURE

WARNING: For models with Auto Drain Pump, the Auto Drain Pump will not automatically restart after a power outage to prevent leakage in case the drain tube was disconnected during power failure. The Auto Drain Pump Mode button must be manually reactivated in the event of a power outage.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

• Frost may build up on the internal coils of the unit. When there is frost build up, 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 compressor or fan 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.

1. 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 illuminate 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.

1.1 Locate the water tank at the front of the dehumidifier. Gently pull the water tank out.

1.2 Grip the handle inside the water tank and carry the water tank to a sink to empty.

1.3 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, the warning light on top of the dehumidifier will illuminate followed by a beeping sound, until the water tank is fitted properly.

NOTE: There is a Foam Float inside the water tank that senses the water level to automatically stop dehumidification when the water tank is full. Make sure the Foam Float is positioned correctly inside the water tank by ensuring it lies level with the top edge of the water tank.

DO NOT REMOVE THIS FOAM FLOAT.

2. Continuous Water Drainage – Using a Continuous Water Drain Tube

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not use 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 pre-installed.

2.1 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.

2.2 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.

2.3 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.

  • Decrease the humidity level setting.
• A door or window is open, letting in new moisture.
  • Make sure all windows or doors to the outside are closed and tightly sealed.
• There are other sources of humidity in the room (e.g. boiling water in pot).
  • Switch on the dehumidifier when these sources are not present.
• The temperature in the room is too low.
  • The dehumidifier is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C) and 89°F (32°C). Moisture removal is greatly reduced if room temperatures exceed this temperature range.
• The dust filter is dirty/ blocked.
  • Clean the dust filter.
• Air outlet or intake is blocked.
  • Remove blockage.

Unit runs but the humidity level does not decrease

• Insufficient time for the dehumidifier to remove moisture.
  • After initial installation, allow 24 hours to maintain desired dryness.

Dehumidifier runs constantly/ does not stop

• Area to be dehumidified is too large.
  • The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate for the room it is used in. It is recommended to add an extra dehumidifier for large areas.
• A door or window is open, letting in new moisture.
  • Make sure all windows or doors to the outside are closed and tightly sealed.

Water Tank Full is illuminated and the unit is beeping

• The water tank is full.
  • Empty the water tank.
• The water tank is not in the correct position.
  • Position the water tank correctly into the unit. Unit will not operate until the water tank is secure in place.

The unit is blowing cold air out of the top vent

• The purpose of the top air vent is to distribute air into the room.
  • The temperature of the air from the vent depends on the room environment and other factors. It can fluctuate and this is normal. No action required.

Frost appears on the coils

• Dehumidifier has been recently turned on in low room temperatures (usually below 41°F (5°C)).
  • This is normal. Frost will disappear in an hour or so after the dehumidifier is switched OFF.

Connected the continuous drain but the water condensation is not draining out the tube

• Some floors may have an uneven surface which may affect the continuous drainage function
  • Raise the front of the Dehumidifier ½ to 1 inch (1.27 cm to 2.54 cm) from the floor. The water condensation will drain out the back hose and not into the bucket.

Water on the floor

• The garden hose/ drain hose may be loose.
  • Check the connections between the hose and the drain outlet on the unit. See Continuous Water Drainage section.
• You intended to use the water tank to collect water but the continuous drain hose is still connected.
  • Disconnect the hose and replace the rubber stopper and drain cap if using the water tank to collect water. See Continuous Water Drainage section.

Noise

• Fan is working.
  • Wind from the fan can create sounds during operation. This is a normal sound.
