INDICATOR LIGHT FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidi er 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 dehumidifi er 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 Auto- Off 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
W ATER T ANK OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidifi cation process- i.e. When the wa- ter tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the fl 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.
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 dehumidifi 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 fi rst 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 dehumidifi 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 dehumidifi er 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 identifi ed by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AIR FILTER
Your dehumidifer features a removable air fi lter, located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. The air fi lter plays an important role in helping to reduce dust/dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air fi lter reduces air intake, negatively impacting operating effi ciency. To maintain maximum operating effi ciency:
• The fi lter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks) or when the check fi 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) Grasp the fi lter handle, and pull the fi lter out. The fi lter will slide out easily (see Fig. 2)
2) Clean the fi 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 fi lter, slide the fi lter back inside the tracks and push inward.
4) Press reset fi lter 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 fl ash, 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 fl 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 fl 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 securely seated for the dehumidifi 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.
B. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a fl oor 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 fl 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 fl 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 fl 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Turn the dehumidi er off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grill and Case
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grilles become dirty easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the Bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fi ll the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After cleaning, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifi er to operate.
Option A
3. Clean the Air Filter
Remove and clean the fi lter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions. Remove the fi lter from the top of the unit (Option A), or you can choose to remove the bucket and then pull the fi lter downwards (Option B). Wash the fi lter with clean water then dry. Re-install the fi lter, replace bucket (if using Option B.) Press the “reset fi lter” button.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidi er without a lter
because dirt and lint will clog it and affect performance.
4. When Not Using the Unit for Long Periods of Time
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket. Clean the main unit, water bucket and air fi lter. Cover the unit with a plastic bag. Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band (as shown to the left - Fig.3) Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place
