Frequently Asked Questions
When you want to dehumidify
P. 12-13
Q.
Why is there still condensation on the windows in the morning?
A. The dehumidifier can take a few weeks to reduce the moisture in your home to an acceptable level.
This is best done by setting the unit to High and leaving it on 24 hours a day. We also recommend
the unit be moved from room to room. After this initial few weeks the unit can then be set to one of
the auto modes 50~70 and this will maintain the Humidity to your desired level. On cold mornings
there may still be a small amount of condensation on the windows.
Q.
Can I leave my Dehumidier turned on 24 hours a day?
A. No problem. The unit can to be left running unattended. It will switch off automatically when the tank
gets full or the required humidity is reached.

Precautions (Cont.)
5
Before Using the Unit
Drain the water tank before use.
Close the door and windows during
operation.
Drying laundry
Drying times will vary depending on the type of
the laundry and the room temperature. The low
temperature may double the drying time of normal
temperature. (Low temperature means approx. 10°C
while normal temperature means above 20°C.)
The strong airflow is blown from the top right point of
the unit.
Installing your dehumidier
Make sure to leave some space around the unit to
ensure good results.
Operating noise
Place the unit on top of a mat. This reduces vibration

Features of This Dehumidifier
Room temperature may rise
2–6°C during operation.
The dehumidier does not have a cooler function. Due
to heat produced during operation, the room temperature
may rise 2–6°C. As a result, the unit may blow warm air,
but this is not due to a malfunction. (During winter, the
air may not feel warm as the temperature is below body
temperature.)
The humidity reading on
the unit may differ from a
hygrometer in the same room.
Even in the same room, temperature and humidity levels may
differ from place to place. If the hygrometer and the unit are in
different parts of the room, the humidity levels are prone to differ.
Moreover, humidity levels differ between places that have good
and no airow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.

How does the dehumidier work?
If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around it
becomes cold, causing water droplets to form on the
surface of the cup.
The dehumidifier takes advantage of this phenomenon
to remove moisture from the air.
1 The unit draws air from the room, cools it with its
cooling coil, causing the moisture to transform into
water droplets.
2 The water droplets fall into the water tank.
3 Dehumidied air is heated by the re-heating
coil, and then blown out.
The humidity of the room is thus reduced by repeating
the above steps.

The amount of dehumidifying
becomes less in winter.
When the temperature and humidity are low, the amount of water
collected is decreased.
In winter, because the temperature is lower than in summer, the effect of
the dehumidier is greatly reduced as shown in the graph on the right.
Although only a little water collects in the tank, this is not a malfunction.

The unit can operate in a room
temperature range of 5–35°C.
If the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the unit may
operate in blower mode or increase the airow. This is
because the temperature within the unit rises causing
the protection mechanism to operate. In order to lower
the internal temperature of the unit, use the unit with the
swing stopped and louvre vertical.
If the temperature is below 5°C, only the blower is
operational to prevent the extracted water freeze.
Defrosting operation
When the room temperature drops to about 15°C, defrosting operation starts.
The operation runs every 70 minutes. Compressor stops, airow is delivered and the melted frost then drips into the
water tank.
Inverter
The inverter is a device that controls the rotational speed of the
compressor motor. When an operation starts immediately or in
other situations, strong dehumidication is performed at a high
motor speed. When the humidity becomes stable, the motor
speed is decreased to continue the operation economically.

Tips on Drying Laundry
Make full use of the laundry drying operation to shorten the laundry drying time.
How to Hang Clothes
Pull to remove any wrinkles on the laundry.
Properly space the laundry for better ventilation (approximately 5 cm between the laundry).
Hang out the laundry which is difficult to dry to the place with good ventilation.
The drying time for the thicker parts of the laundry is probably longer.
<The following conditions will cause longer
drying time>
The laundry is of a large volume.
The room temperature is lower.
P5
When the temperature is low
(approximately 10°C), the drying time
is twice as long as that at normal
temperature (approximately 20°C).
The room is big.
How to Blow Air at Clothes
Placing the Dehumidier
Use swinging louvre to send air all over the laundry.
P16
The drying time of the part where the air cannot reach is longer.
The laundry is of a large volume.
Shift the position of the laundry during drying so that each part
can get the blowing air.
Place the dehumidier so that its back faces the laundry.
Air blows from the top of the dehumidifier towards the back.
About the Room for Hanging Clothes
In a small room, it is recommended that the door and window
be closed before dehumidifying.
It is effective not only to dehumidify, but also to dry the laundry
as soon as possible.
When the room temperature is low such as in winter
Use a heater in combination with the dehumidifier in order to
raise the room temperature to approximately 16°C or more, so
that it is easy to dry the laundry.
Using the unit to dry clothes hung in a room is recommended on days such as the following.
Cloudy and rainy days
During the days of high humidity
weather, the laundry will take a long
time to dry.
Days with a lot of pollen
and dust in the air
Drying the laundry indoor can
prevent pollen particles and other
dirt from attaching to the laundry.
Days you are unable
to bring in the laundry
during daylight hours
After sunset, as the outdoor air
becomes cool, the dried laundry will
absorb moisture.

MILDEW GUARD
About MILDEW GUARD mode
The unit continues to operate for about another 4 hours after the humidity decreases to 50% and then stops
automatically.
The operation time varies depending on temperature and humidity and ranges from approximately 4 hours
(approximately 6 hours if the room temperature is below 20°C) to approximately 12 hours.
How is mildew growth suppressed?
Mildew is unable to produce new spores if it is dried as mycelia.
This principle is applied to the MILDEW GUARD function.
(However, the spores have high resistance to dryness.)
“ResearchofBlackMold”
Experimental data from General Incorporated
Association Mold Prediction Laboratory
In this mode, the unit can dehumidify the bathroom to remove residual moisture and water drops, thus
suppressing the mildew growth as a means of mildew prevention.
Information
For better results, do not turn on the room
ventilation fan or open the window or door when
the unit is operating.
The results may vary depending on the size,floor
and wall materials of the bathroom.
There may be some residual water drops in the
places that can collect water.
Mildew growth may still occur due to the fungus
type and conditions of the room.
<e.g.> Under the containers of the bathroom,
