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 dehumidifi cation process.
When the water 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.
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 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 in maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifi er will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage due to 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.
Note: For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal
for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity
be set at 40-45%.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the unit is fi rst connected to the electrical outlet, the 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 dehumidifi er automatically defaults to:
Display: Current ambient room humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 60% RH
Fan Speed: High.
Note: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifi 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%-55% 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 / 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
Note: All the pictures in the manual are for explanatory purposes only. The actual shape of the unit you purchased may be
slightly different, but the operation and functions are the same.
Your dehumidifi er features a removable Air Filter. This fi lter is 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 (minimize) dust/
dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air fi lter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on
operating effi ciency. To maintain maximum operating effi ciency, the fi lter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2
weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air fi lter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1. Pull fi lter outwards.
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.

Operating Instructions
REMOVING COLLECTED WATER
1. Pull out the bucket a little.
There are two ways to remove collected water:
1. 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 fl 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
fl ash, and the digital display shows P2.
2. Hold both sides of the
bucket with even strength and
pull it out from the unit.
3. Pour the water out.
If the pump hose drops when you
remove the bucket, ensure it is reinstalled properly.
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 water to spill.
Discard the water and return the bucket to the unit. The bucket must
be placed and properly positioned for the dehumidifi er to operate. The
machine will restart 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 power button fl ashes when the bucket is not properly in
place.
Remove the plastic
cover by turning it
counter-clockwise.
Drain hose
2. Continuous draining:
Water can be automatically emptied into a fl oor drain by attaching the
unit to an ID ≥ 5/16” water hose with a ID:M=1 female threaded end
(not included, a standard garden hose works well). Install the drain
hose. 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.
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 drain-
age 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.
