HOW IT WORKS

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air

through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling

elements. Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense.

This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then

passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room

at a slightly elevated temperature.

WHERE TO POSITION

Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells

waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned,

so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the

dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point.

When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that

there is a minimum of 10 cm (4") of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient

airflow.

This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should

first be switched off and the water tank emptied.

We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the

unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use am extension

lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable is at least 1 mm2.

When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed

when necessary for most efficient use.

HOW TO USE

Control Panel

1. Heat button (only for the model with

heat function)

2. UV light button (only for the model

with UV function)

3. Timer

4. Display window

5. Speed (ventilation) button

6. Humidity selection button

7. ON/OFF button

Display Window

1. Displays the level of humidity permissible

before the dehumidifier will begin:

Continuous dehumidifying; 50%; 60%;

70%; and 80% humidity.

2. Indicates ambient humidity: GOOD FAIR, BAD

• Good indicates 50% ≤ambient room humidity ≤70%

• Fair indicates 30% ≤ambient room humidity < 50% or 70% < ambient

room humidity ≤80%

• Bad indicates the ambient room humidity is higher than 80%.

3. Indicates that the compressor is in progress. In case the de-frost

function is working, the water drops will flash.

Indicates that the compressor is not in progress.

Indicated that the water tank is full and requires emptying.

4. Heat indicator (only for the model with heat function):

5. UV ( ultraviolet ) indicator, only for the model with UV light.

6. Timer indicator, 1 to 24 hours.

7. Room temperature indicator, can display the room temperature in Celsius

degree (oC) by pressing “HUM” button at least 2 seconds.

8. Fan speed/ventilation indicator: high speed, low speed.

Operation

ON/OFF: Press button ON/OFF to turn the unit on or off.

HUMIDITY: Press the HUMIDITY button to set the room

humidity you desire (continuous dehumidifying, 50%, 60%,

70% or 80%). The compressor will start to work when

“Continuous dehumidifying” mode is selected.

FAN SPEED: Press the speed button to choose the

ventilation speed, high or low.

LOUVRE: The direction of the air outlet can be adjusted by h

and.

DRAINAGE

Whenever the water tank is full, the unit is unbalanced or the water tank is not

positioned properly, the compressor will stop and:

• The will flash indicating water full.

• The water level window will turn into red.

• The unit will buzz. To cancel the buzz, turn the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF

button.

To remove the water tank, use the handle to pull the

tank out squarely from the unit.

After empting, replace the water tank. The tank will

need to be properly positioned in order for the 'water full'

sign to cancel and your dehumidifier will start operating.

Continuous Drainage

When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will

require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set

the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:

1. Cut the outlet at the unit back (see below). Caution: When the outlet is cut off,

the said portion would be left as a hole and cannot be covered by any plug as

this will prevent the drainage water from reaching the water tank.

2. Connect the drain hole with a water tube of inner diameter 12mm.

3. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in

place. Note! In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to

prevent the water tube from freeing.

Water tube of inner

diameter 12 mm is

required. Please note, the

tube is not supplied with

the unit.

MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or

cleaning of the unit.

• Use soft cloth to wipe the unit clean.

• Don't ever use harsh chemicals, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated

clothes, or other cleansing solutions. These all could possibly hurt the cabinet.

• For washable filter – Use a vacuum cleaner or

tap the filter lightly for easy cleaning. If the filter is

particularly dirty, use warm water with a small

amount of medium strength.

• For active carbon filter - This filter is not washable.

Its life span is variable and depends on the

ambient conditions where the appliance is used.

The filter should be checked periodically (about

every 6 months) and replaced if necessary.

STORAGE

If not use the unit for an extended period of time, please turn the unit off, unplug

and tidy AC cord, completely empty the water tank and wipe it clean. Cover the unit

and store where it will not receive direct sunlight.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

THE UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE:

• Is the unit plugged in?

• Is the house electricity on?

• Is the room temperature below 5oC or above 35oC? If so, then it is out of

the working range of the unit.

• Ensure the humidistat (or ON/OFF switch) is turned on.

• Check the water tank is positioned properly in the unit and it is not full.

• Make sure the air inlet and outlet are not obstructed.

THE UNIT SEEMS TO DO NOTHING:

• Is the filter dusty, contaminated ?

• Is the air intake or outlet blocked up?

• Is the room humidity already quite low?

THE UNIT SEEMS TO DO LITTLE:

• Are too many windows or doors open?

• Is there something in the room producing lots of humidity?

THE UNIT IS TOO NOISY:

• Check whether the unit is sitting on a level surface.

THE UNIT IS LEAKING:

• Make sure the unit is in good shape.

• If you are not using continuous drainage, make sure the rubber plug (at

the bottom of the unit) is in its position.
