User Manual for Dehumidifier
BEFORE FIRST USE:
To prevent any internal damage, it is very important to keep refrigeration units (like this one) upright throughout their journey. Please leave it standing upright and outside the box for 24 HOURS before plugging it in.
Getting to know your Dehumidifier
The Compact Dehumidifier uses Peltier technology (no compressor), making it light and quiet. It is perfect for small rooms because poor ventilation causes musty odors and fungus. The compact dehumidifier aims to lower the humidity of small rooms.
To avoid electric shock, do not open the appliance.

2. Plug the DC power jack of AC/DC power adapter to the DC Power socket, then connect the AC plug of the AC/DC power adapter to the appropriate main socket.
3. Switch the “On/Off” button to the “On” position. The green LED will be turned on. The Compact Dehumidifier will begin to operate. You should be able to feel the air blowing from dry air outlet [Fig.1]
4. To switch off the appliance, switch “On/Off” button to “Off” position. The Compact Dehumidifier will be turned off. [Fig.2]
Removable Water Tank
When the water tank is full (approximately 500ml [16.9oz] of water collected), the appliance will switch off automatically and the “FULL” LED will be on. [Fig.3]
To remove the water tank, first switch off the Compact Dehumidifier, press “On/Off” button to the “Off” position. Then, remove the water tank from the appliance and pour the water out into the toilet or bathroom sink. Put the water tank back into the appliance. To continue dehumidifying, push the “On/Off” button to “On” position again.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, turn off the Compact Dehumidifier and unplug the AC plug from the main socket first. Use a piece of soft cloth to clean the surface of the appliance or use a brush to wipe the dust off the grills of the air inlet. You should clear the dry air outlet once a week for optimal performance [as Fig.4].
