Sociable Remark
DISPOSAL: Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste
separately for special treatment is necessary.
It is prohibited to dispose of this appliance in domestic household waste.
For disposal, there are several possibilities:
When using this dehumidifier in the European countries, the following information
must be followed:
· The municipality has established collection systems, where electronic waste can be disposed
of at least free of charge to the user.
· When buying a new product, the retailer will take back the old product at least free of charge.

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit
continuously 24 hours. Make sure the plastic cover on
the continuous drain hose outlet install stightly
properly so there are no leaks.
This unit is designed to operate with a working
environment between tween 5 C/41 F and 32 C/90 F,
and between 30%(RH) and 80%(RH).
If the unit has been switched off and needs to be
switched on again quickly , allow approximately three
minutes for the correct operation to resume.
Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket
applications only. This dehumidifer should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit
for good air circulation (at least 40cm of air space on
air outlet).
Place the unit in an area where the temperature will
not fall below 5 C(41 F). The coils can become covered
with frost at temperatures below 5 C(41 F), which may
reduce performance.
Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or
radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little
or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential
Casters(At four points on the bottom of unit)
Casters can move freely.
Do not force casters to move over carpet, nor

Care and Maintenance
· Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
· Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause
the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
· The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
· Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
· To remove the filter, pull filter outwards.
· Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
· Re-install the filter, replace Bucket.
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the
bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and
rinse.
Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must be in place and
securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
· After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket.
· Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
· Wrap the cord with the power cord buckle.
· Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
· Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
otherwise water is become ice that will cause the
water hose blocked up and the unit failure. Make sure
to empty the bucket once a week when using the
pump draining feature. When the pump draining
feature is not being used, remove the pump drain
hose from the outlet.
· Press the pump drain hose outlet in and take the
pump drain hose out from it (See Fig.13). Make sure
do not let the water in the pump hose drip to the
floor.
