INDICATOR LIGHT
FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifier may not start automatically when the “on/off” button is pressed (see dehumidifying mode instructions on page 7 for details).
MEMORY SETTING:
Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic circuit board automatically defaults to the last program setting that was used. After the unit has stopped, it may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
AUTO-RESTART:
If the unit shuts off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previous function settings automatically when the power resumes.
BUCKET FULL INDICATOR LIGHT: When the bucket is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full light turns on and remains on until such time the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically. NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
AUTO-DEFROST:
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
TIMER
FUNCTIONS
Follow these steps to program the Auto-On or Auto-Off feature using the control panel:
Auto-Off:
1)When the unit is on, and the TIMER button is pressed, the Timer Off indicator light illuminates indicates that the AutoOff program is initiated.
2)Press or hold the UP or DOWN button to change the ‘Auto’ time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours (then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours). The unit control will count down the time remaining until start.
3)In the 5 seconds after setting Auto Off time press the TIMER button again to complete the Auto-Off program.
Auto-On:
4)When the unit is off, and the TIMER button is pressed, the Auto-On program is initiated. Set the Auto-On time as in step 2 above. In the 5 seconds after setting Auto-On time press the TIMER button again to complete the Auto On program.
NOTE: When the Auto On & Auto Off times are set, within the same program sequence, TIMER ON OFF indicator lights illuminate indicating that both ON and OFF times are now programmed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER TANK
OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidification process- i.e. When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float 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.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system. Proper installation of the water tank is crucial to maintaining reliable dehumidifier operation.
DEHUMIDIFYING
DEHUMIDIFYING is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier 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 first connected to the electrical outlet, the (green) power light will not light until the “on/off” button is pressed. When the “on/off” button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidifier 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 dehumidifier 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 dehumidifier settings 35% - 80% until the “humidstat” (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 + / - buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35% -85%)
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 identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made.

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

There are two ways to remove collected water.
A. Use the bucket
When the unit is off, if the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times, the Full indicator light will flash, and the digital display shows P2.
When the unit is on, if the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and the fan turns off after drying the water off the condenser for 30 seconds. Then the unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, 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 floor 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 securely seated for the dehumidifier 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.
B. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a ID ≥ 5/16” water hose with a ID:M=1 female threaded
end (not included). Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A as shown in B1. 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 floor 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 flowing.
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 flow 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.
