Recommendations for Use
Maintaining the room at a comfortable indoor humidity level
Deterring mold and bacteria growth. Ideal for normal daily household use to maintain
humidity at a healthy level. Bacteria and mold are less likely to breed at this RH level.
Preventing condensation (extra-dry mode). Ideal for controlling a very damp room.
Start at this level for the first couple days, and then increase to 50-60% or higher
to conserve energy.
Drying clothes faster (especially in the winter). The unit will continue to remove
humidity from the air regardless of the current humidity level, unless the water tank
is full. We recommend setting a timer in this mode to conserve energy.
NOTES ON HUMIDITY:
• Humidity levels are only available from 40% – 70%. This is a standard feature on the majority of
dehumidifiers. Under 40% humidity is too dry to be comfortable, and over 70% humidity can be
too muggy to be comfortable, and could also cause the device to malfunction or create the risk of
electrical shock.
• The RH level indicated on the LCD panel has a ±10% RH tolerance, and can vary depending on the
ambient room temperature.
• Once the set humidity level has been reached, the unit will pause the dehumidification process to
save energy. See the section on page 7 for information about the auto-pause and restart function.
2. If continuous mode is not selected, the dehumidifier will run and dehumidification will occur once the room
humidity level is detected rising above the selected RH (relative humidity) level.
3. After setting the RH level, the icon and numbers on the LCD panel will blink for five (5) seconds and then
return to displaying the current humidity level in the room.
7
Auto Pause & Restart Function
Once the set humidity level has been reached, the unit will pause the dehumidification process for 60 minutes,
to conserve energy. After 60 minutes, the unit will run on fan mode for five (5) minutes to monitor the humidity
level in the room. If the humidity level in the room increases by 5% or more during the time that the dehumidifier
is paused or running on fan mode, the unit will start dehumidifying again.
If the humidity level in the room does not increase during this time, the dehumidifier will repeat the 60-minute
pause and 5-minute fan cycle until the unit detects an increase in humidity level.
Option 1: Manually Emptying the Water Tank
1. Once the water tank is full, the icon light will blink and the dehumidifier will stop running.
2. Never move the unit or remove the water tank while the dehumidifier is running, as water may leak, damage
the unit, or cause an electric shock hazard.
3. Hold the handles on both sides of the water tank and gently lift it toward you. Please make sure to do this
slowly and carefully because water may slosh onto the floor or the unit itself.
4. Empty the water (into a drain) and then clean the water tank.
5. Once the bucket is emptied and cleaned, replace it as normal into the dehumidifier
NOTE:
• Use clean water to clean the tank as needed. Do not use detergent, solvents, abrasives, or hot water, in order
to avoid damaging the dehumidifier.
• Do not remove or damage the float in the water tank, or else the unit will not work correctly.
• The icon will blink if the water tank is not properly repositioned in the unit.
Option 2: Continuous Hose Drainage
1. A hose is included in the box; however you can also use your own hose,
if the provided hose is not long enough. The hose should have an inner
diameter of 0.47" (12 mm).
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the knockout hole at the rear of the unit
(on the tank).
3. Attach the hose through the hole to the connector.
4. Make sure that the drainage hose you have installed is aimed downward.
Feed the other end of the hose into a floor drain and then cover the
hole with a lid so the water will run straight into the drain and not spill.
Please note that the hose should not be pressed, twisted, or run up an incline, or else the water will not
drain properly.
NOTE:
• Ensure the water tank is properly fitted into position before you insert the hose.
• Make sure to disconnect the hose prior to removing the water tank.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following symptoms are normal and do not merit concern:
1. The compressor will stop, or rest, for three (3) minutes every time the dehumidifier shuts down, as well as
every time it is plugged in to the electrical outlet. This ensures a smooth start for the dehumidifier.
2. The unit will only work within the ambient room temperature range of 41~95°F (5~35°C). It may cease
operation when the room temperature is outside of this range, or when the air inlet/outlet are covered.
3. During normal operation, it is possible for the dehumidifier to increase the room temperature by as much
as 34~37°F.
If your dehumidifier is not functioning as expected, please refer to this table first. If these solutions do not
resolve your issue, contact Ivation Customer Care. Do not try to repair the unit yourself, as this could cause an
electrical shock hazard and void your warranty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNINGS:
• Before cleaning, turn o the dehumidifier and disconnect it from the power supply. If you do not do this, you
could create the risk of electrical shock or other safety hazards.
• Do not wash the dehumidifier with water or submerge the unit in water at any time. This could cause electrical
shock or even a fire.
• Do not use harsh detergents to clean the dehumidifier at any time or else it will strip the paint and damage the
unit’s appearance.
Caring for the Outer Casing
• Make sure the unit is turned o. Wait for the fan to stop, and
then unplug it from the outlet.
• Use a soft towel that is damp—NOT wet—with warm water
and mild detergent to clean the casing. Do not use solvents
or abrasive materials.
• Use a soft, dry towel to thoroughly dry the unit after cleaning.
• In order to avoid damage, do not wash the unit with water or
let water drip into the air inlet or outlet.
• To clean the air intake vent, you should use a dust catcher or
gentle brush.
Caring for the Air Filter
• Check the filter periodically to ensure any dust is removed that
could cause airflow or performance issues. We generally
recommend cleaning the air filter every month. If you are using
the dehumidifier in a location where dust accumulates more
quickly, you will need to clean the air filter more often.
• To remove the air filter, first turn the unit o and unplug the
power cable from the outlet. Then, reach inside the opening
at the rear of the unit, grasp the top plastic edge of the air filter,
and pull straight up to remove it.
• Use warm soapy water to wash and wipe down the air filter,
making sure to rinse it and allow it to air-dry before replacing
it in the dehumidifier.
WARNINGS:
• Do not attempt to operate the dehumidifier without the filter, or else dust will accumulate on the evaporator and this
will aect the unit’s performance.
• Do not dry the air filter with fire or an electric hair-dryer, otherwise the filter could become misshapen or catch on fire.
• Do not use a dust catcher or brush to clean the air filter, as these can permanently damage the filter.
Before Use (Seasonally)
• Check to make sure the air outlet is not blocked.
• Check to make sure the power plug and power socket are in good condition.
• Check to make sure the air filter is clean.
• Check to make sure the drain hose is not damaged.
