• Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This
determines the level of humidity in an atmosphere. The capacity of the air to
hold water vapour increases with temperature. This is why in our homes, as soon
as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as is
evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc. The
purpose of a Dehumidier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding
the damage caused by condensation.
• Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our
well being and for the home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative
humidity. With very low temperatures, you are recommended to heat the
room even minimally. This considerably increases the dehumidifying power of
the appliance. With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapour on
windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the
Dehumidier. Air leaving the Dehumidier is usually about 1–2°C warmer than
room temperature.
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:
• The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on
the back of the appliance.
• The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
• The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced.
• The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety
instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

For Household Use Only
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the SUPPLY CORD is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
• Do not use any means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance should be stored in a room that does not contain continuously
operating ignition sources (for example: open ames, an operating gas appliance
or an operating electric heater.
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• If you suspect a leak or the unit is not performing as expected, immediately stop
using the unit and contact Customer Service
WARNING
• Utilize two or more people to lift and install the unit.
• Always grasp the plug when plugging in or unplugging the appliance. Never unplug by
pulling on the cord, it can result in the risk of electrical shock and damage.
• Install the appliance on a sturdy, level oor capable of supporting up to 110 lb
(50 kg). Installation on a weak or unlevel oor can result in the risk of property
damage and personal injury.

is uneven and may spill water.
NOTE: Hold the bucket with both hands when emptying.
NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the unit, the compressor will
turn off but the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely
normal. The unit will not be removing moisture from the air at this time.
NOTE: During operation, it is normal for the unit to exhaust warm air from the
side of the unit.
NOTE: If no need the function of continuous drain, please install the cap on
the drain hole back of the unit, then the water will ow into the bucket.
NOTE: Please install the drain pipe follow below picture. Please install the
drain pipe correctly, or the water cannot drain from the pipe.
CONTINUOUS DRAIN
Operation
Continuous Drain
Connect the drain pipe on the back of unit, then the unit can continuous run without
clean the bucket.

CLEANING THE CABINET
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the
fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. When the coils are completely
defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically
restart. The unit start to dehumidify the room.
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the “POWER”
button on the control panel, wait for a few minutes then unplug from the mains
socket.
• Unplug the unit from the outlet, empty the Bucket and remove the drain cap.
• Run off all water left inside the appliance. When all the water has been drained,
put the cap back in place.
• Clean the lter and dry it thoroughly before putting back.
• Cover the appliance to avoid dust accumulation.
• Store the appliance upright in a dry location.
Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the earth system is
efcient. Follow the installation instructions precisely.
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
● Never wash the appliance with water, it could be dangerous.
● Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
● Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
• To keep your appliance working
efciently, clean the lter every month
of operation.
• The lter can take out like g.
• To avoid possible cuts, avoid contacting
the metal parts of the appliance when
removing or re-installing the lter. It can
result in the risk of personal injury.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust
from the lter. If the lter is very dirty,
immerse it in warm water and rinse it a
number of times. The water temperature
should not be higher than 104°F (40°C).
After washing, leave the lter to dry.
The unit operating in a basement will have little no effect in drying out an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in
and out of the area.
