OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
W ATER T ANK
OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water, and using a safety switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidi¿ cation process - i.e. when the water tank
is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the
À oat switch actuator (inside the tank) breaks contact with the
safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut
down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing
moisture from being condensed.
NOTE: On some models, the fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes after the unit has stopped
and the bucket has been removed. As a result, water may drip from the tray onto the base of the unit, and then
onto the fl oor. Please ensure that you protect your wood and carpet fl oors from such leakage.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the
water level (safety) fl oat switch system. Proper
installation of the water tank is crucial to
maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.
DEHUMIDIFYING
DEHUMIDIFYING is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidi¿ er will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidi¿ er removes moisture from air
as moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and
collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into
the room environment is elevated several degrees causing the surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This
process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING
MODE
INSTRUCTIONS
When the unit is ¿ rst connected to the electrical outlet, the (green) power light will not light up until the “on/off” button is
pressed. When the “on/off” button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidi¿ er automatically defaults to:
Display: Current Ambient Room Humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 60% RH
Fan Speed: High
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidi¿ er may not start
automatically under the default setting (this is an indication that the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower
than the “default” setting of 60% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidi¿ er
settings 35% - 80% until the “humidistat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
2a) Press the
OR
2b) Press the CONTINUOUS button. When CONTINUOUS mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be by-passed
and the compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
3) You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identi¿ ed by the (illuminated)
indicator light located directly above the selection made.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
AIR FILTER
Your dehumidifer features a removable air ¿ lter, located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) directly
above the water tank compartment. The air ¿ lter plays an important role in helping to reduce dust/dirt particles from the
surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air ¿ lter reduces air intake, negatively impacting operating ef¿ ciency.
To maintain maximum operating ef¿ ciency:
• The ¿ lter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks) or when the check ¿ lter light illuminates.
• More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air ¿ lter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1) There are two options depending on your model. Option A: Grasp the ¿ lter handle, and pull the ¿ lter out. The ¿ lter will
slide out easily (see Fig. 2). Option B: Remove the bucket and pull the ¿ lter downwards (see Fig. 3 on page 10).
2) Clean the ¿ lter thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner or wash using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly
before re-installing.
3) To re-install the air ¿ lter, slide the ¿ lter back inside the tracks and push inward.
4) Press reset ¿ lter button.

A2. Hold both sides of the bucket with
even strength, and pull it out from the
unit. Pour the water out.
B1.
Drain hose
Adaptor A
There are two ways to remove collected water.
A. Use the bucket
When the unit is off and the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times, the
Bucket Full indicator light will À ash, and the digital display shows P2.
When the unit is on and the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and
the fan turns off after drying the water off the condenser for 30 seconds.
The unit will then beep 8 times and the Bucket Full indicator light will
À ash, and the digital display shows P2.
To empty the full bucket, slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and
right handles securely, and carefully pull it straight out so water does not
spill. Do not put the tank on the À oor because the bottom of the bucket
is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
Discard the water and return the bucket to the unit. The bucket must
be in place and properly positioned for the dehumidi¿ er to operate. The
machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.
NOTE:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit.
Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the bucket gently
all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing
to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate. When you
remove the bucket, if there is some water inside the unit you must dry it.

The adaptor is found in the accessory bag located in the bucket.
Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and set it
aside. Remove the bucket, then insert the drain hose through the drain
outlet of the unit and securely press it into the connector on the front of
the unit. (See B2.)
Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws (found in the
accessory bag located in the bucket upon purchase). Install the female
threaded end of the water hose into the adaptor A. (See B4), then lead
the water hose to the À oor drain or a suitable drainage facility. Make
sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward
the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water
from À owing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure
the end of the hose is level or declining to let the water À ow smoothly.
Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure that it is located
correctly. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit
for continuous draining to start.
