Connect the power plug to the appropriate electrical socket outlet. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit ON. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the unit OFF.
Note: In the event of a power failure
Once the power is restored after a power failure, the unit will continue to operate at the selected settings prior to the power failure. This includes the drying mode, swing function and time re
maining in timer mode.
Note: After turning the appliance OFF
After turning the unit OFF using the ON/OFF button, the fan will continue to run for a two-minute period. This is a normal procedure and helps to cool & protect the internal components. During this two-minute period, DO NOT remove the power plug from the power socket outlet; wait for the fan to stop running.

Note: There may be times when the fan speeds are the same for AUTO and LOW.
AUTO itself is not a fan speed but a target relative humidity set point that uses either the low or high fan speeds to reach its target of 55-60%RH. If the relative humidity of the room is close to or within this range, then switching between LOW and AUTO will make no difference to the fan speed.
