AUTO RESTART FUNCTION

This unit is equipped with an Auto Restart feature. When there is a power outage, the dehumidifier will automatically resume all its previous settings upon regaining power.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Frost may build up on the internal coils of the unit. When there is frost build up, the internal compressor will turn off and the fan will continue to run until the frost has melted. Once the internal coils have defrosted and dried, the compressor or fan will automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

DRAINING THE WATER

WARNING: Always drain and discard water collected from dehumidification. The water is not clean and cannot be used for drinking.

1. Draining water collected in the Water Tank

The condensed water can be collected directly into the water tank. When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut OFF and the indicator will illuminate on the control panel followed by a beeping sound.

IMPORTANT: Do not move the dehumidifier when the Water Tank is full as it will be heavy and can cause water spillage.

1.1 Locate the water tank at the front of the dehumidifier.
Gently pull the water tank out.

1.2 Grip the handle inside the water tank and carry the water tank to a sink to empty.

1.3 Replace the empty water tank back into the front of the dehumidifier. Please make sure that the tank is properly positioned. The safety feature ensures that any misalignment of the tank and the unit will prevent the unit from turning back on.

IMPORTANT: Improper alignment or positioning of the water tank will cause the unit to pause operation, the warning light on top of the dehumidifier will illuminate followed by a beeping sound, until the water tank is fitted properly.

NOTE: There is a Foam Float inside the water tank that senses the water level to automatically stop dehumidification when the water tank is full. Make sure the Foam Float is positioned correctly inside the water tank by ensuring it lies level with the top edge of the water tank.

DO NOT REMOVE THIS FOAM FLOAT.

2. Continuous Water Drainage – Using a Continuous Water Drain Tube

A continuous water drainage tube is included with this unit. To activate the continuous water draining function, you will require a suitable water drain (e.g. sink or drain hole at floor level) near the dehumidifier.

NOTE: The Continuous Drain Tube and Continuous Drain Cap come pre-installed.

2.1 Locate the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Unscrew and remove the Direct Drain Cap.
Insert and screw the Continuous Water Drain Tube into the Direct Drain Outlet.

2.2 If there are leaks, the Continuous Water Drain Tube and Cap may have loosened and may not be connected properly. Disconnect, replace and tighten again.

2.3 Position the other end of the Continuous Water Drain Tube in the sink or drain. Make sure the tube is not bent or kinked which might stop the water flow. Make sure the tube is secured over the drain and will not fall out of place causing unwanted water spillage.

IMPORTANT: Make sure water can flow down the Continuous Water Drain Tube by keeping the tube angled down and free of bends or kinks.

IMPORTANT: If the unit is placed on uneven ground, or the Drain Tube is installed incorrectly, the water may fill the water tank and stop running. Please check whether the ground is uneven and reinstall the Drain Tube.

*THIS IS ONLY FOR MODEL TP70P WITH BUILT-IN DRAIN PUMP

3. Continuous Water Drainage – Using the Auto Drain Pump option

The Auto Drain Pump is available if you want to use the continuous drain function, but the drain is further away, or located above the dehumidifier. The Auto Drain Pump Tube can be attached to the Direct Drain Outlet located on the back side of the dehumidifier. When the water level in the water tank reaches a certain level, the drain pump will automatically pump the water out of the tank to the drain. This allows you to drain water condensation vertically or horizontally, even if the drain is located above the dehumidifier.

NOTE: The Auto Drain Pump Tube and Auto Drain Pump Cap come pre-installed.

3.1 Locate the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Unscrew and remove the Direct Drain Cap.
Insert and screw the Auto Drain Pump Tube into the Direct Drain Outlet.

3.2 If there are leaks, the Auto Drain Pump Tube and Auto Drain Pump Cap may have loosened and may not be connected properly. Disconnect, replace and tighten again.

3.3 To activate the Pump function, press the indicator. Once on, the indicator light will be illuminated.

3.5 Place the other end of the tube into the sink or drain. The water can be pumped up to 16.4 ft (5 m) vertically or horizontally.

NOTE: DO NOT use an alternative drain tube that is longer than the one provided with the unit.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Always switch OFF the dehumidifier and unplug it from the electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance of this product.

Appliance Maintenance:

• Switch OFF the appliance before disconnecting the power supply.
• Only use a soft cloth to clean the appliance.

Dust Filter Maintenance:

The Dust Filter located at the back of the unit helps to remove dust particles from the air. A dirty filter clogged by dust particles can reduce the efficiency of the dehumidifier. For optimum dehumidification, it is recommended to clean the dust filter every 2 weeks:

1. Switch off and unplug the dehumidifier from the electrical outlet.
2. Carefully pull out the dust filer from the dehumidifier.
3. Rinse the dust filter under running water, or vacuum away the dust with a vacuum cleaner.
4. After cleaning the dust filter, dry in a cool, shaded place, then carefully reinstall into the unit.

End of Season Storage & Maintenance:
If the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time:

• Switch OFF the unit and unplug from the electrical power outlet.
• Empty the water tank and let it dry. If your dehumidifier is connected to the continuous drain hose, you must disconnect the hose, dry and then replace the drain cap back into the drain outlet.
• Remove the air filter and clean with water. Let the air filter dry and reinstall back into the unit.
• Make sure all parts of the dehumidifier and accessories are dry before storage.
• Cover the dehumidifier with a cloth/ plastic bag before storage, to protect the surface from dust and scratches.
• It is recommended to coil the power cord and store it off the floor to ensure it is protected from bends and kinks.
