How it works
Where to position
This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements. Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature.
Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home. Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a flat level surface and that there is a minimum of 10 cm (4") of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow. This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use an extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable is at least 1 mm2 and that it is in good condition. When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed for most efficient use.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this unit at ambient temperatures below 5oC, this will prevent the
possibility of a heavily iced up evaporating coil.

Operation
1. Plug the unit into a correct mains socket. (Please refer to the rating label at the rear of the unit for correct voltage/frequency.)
2. Press ON/OFF button to turn on the unit. The compressor will start to work.
3. Press humidity setting button to set the working mode you require:
continuous working, humidity 40%, 50%, 60% or 70%. The relative indicator will light on.
Blue light – room humidity > 70%
4. Press speed/ventilation button to set the ventilation speed to high or low.
The selected indicator light will come on.
5. Press the TIMER button to set the operating time you require (1~24 hours). The
display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press the TIMER button, after releasing it for around 8 seconds, the display window will return to the room humidity. When the set time has been reached, the compressor will stop working
automatically.

continuously, so it will help to dry the laundry.
Green light – room humidity 50~70%
Red light –room humidity < 50%

DRYER function is turbo ventilation to dry the moisture in the air
8. To turn off the unit, press ON/OFF button again.
9. Pre-setting function. By pressing the TIMER button but without turning on the other functions (including ON/OFF button), you can PRE-SET the time for the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to '2', the unit will turn on automatically after 2 hours.

Drainage
While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection and the water full indicator will turn red.
To remove the water tank, pull it out squarely and horizontally from the unit.
After empting the water tank, place the water tank carefully and gently back into its location. The water tank must be properly positioned, in order for the 'water full' sign to go out and for your dehumidifier to operate.
Please note, if the water tank has not been positioned correctly the water full indicator will turn red and remain on.
Continuous drainage
When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent emptying. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage by following the instructions below.
1. Remove the water tank.
2. Connect a flexible plastic water pipe of inner
diameter: 11 mm. directly to the drain tube of the appliance (* Please note, the water tube is not supplied with the unit).
3. Ensure the drain pipe is securely fitted and replace the water tank carefully routing the flexible drain pipe out over the top of the tank as shown.
4. Ensure the free end of the pipe runs to a permanent drain and that the flexible pipe outlet is below the level of the appliance outlet connection.
5. Note! In very cold weather conditions,
precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freeing.

Maintenance
Always switch off the appliance using its on/off button and unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning of the unit.
CLEANING THE BODY
Use soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Don't ever use volatile chemicals, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated clothes, or other cleansing solutions. These all could possibly damage the appliance enclosure and controls.
CLEANING THE FILTER
This dehumidifier is equipped with 2 filters
:
1. ANTI-DUST FILTER
Remove the filter holder, remove the active carbon filter. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly for easy cleaning. If the filter is particularly dirty, use warm water with a small amount of medium strength detergent to clean. Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing. Do not expose the filter to sunlight.
2. ACTIVE CARBON FITLER (for capturing the particles of dust suspended in the
air and preventing the production of bacteria.) The active carbon filter placed under the anti-dust filter is not washable. Its life span is variable and depends on the ambient conditions where the unit is used. The filter should be checked periodically and replaced if necessary.
STORAGE
If you are not going to use the unit for an extended period of time. Please:
Turn off the unit, empty the water tank and wipe it clean & dry.
Unplug and tidy away the mains lead...
Cover the unit and store where it will not receive direct sunlight.
