CAUTION: Do not place the dehumidifier in a broom cupboard,
boiler room, small unventilated rooms etc. Avoid placing the
dehumidifier in small confined areas or in close proximity to a
radiator or heat source such as tumble driers and cookers to
prevent the dehumidifier from overheating.
Do not use this dehumidifier in dusty or industrial
environments where particles can get into the dehumidifier.
This will cause a malfunction and void your warranty.
Place the unit in an upright position on a
stable, level surface. (Please ensure unit
is not sitting on its own cable)
Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away
from walls and furniture (see image on the left).
Please keep clothes at a safe distance of
60cm from air outlet of the unit to prevent
water dripping into the unit.
For best results, position the dehumidifier
somewhere central like a landing or a hallway.
As long as the internal doors are open,
the excess moisture from all of the rooms
in the house will migrate naturally towards
the dehumidifier and be processed.
TO OPERATE SAFELY
Do not insert small
objects into the unit as
this will damage it and
cause a hazard
Maintain safe clearance

3. Dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.
4. In order to avoid damage, do not wash the machine with water or let water drip
into the air inlet or outlet.
Cleaning the filter
If the filter is covered with dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit
will be affected. Check the filter periodically to ensure any dust is removed
(It is recommended to check and clean the air filter every month or at an
appropriate frequency depending on your usage and air environment).

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following conditions are normal:
1.
The compressor will stop or rest for 3 minutes every time the unit shuts down or is
plugged in to the electrical outlet. This helps ensure a smooth start for the dehumidifier.
2. The unit works within room temperature of about 5 ~ 35ºC. It may stop operation when
the room temperature is out of this range or when the air inlet or outlet is covered.
3. The unit could increase the room temperature by 1 ~ 3ºC.
If your dehumidifier is not operating as expected, please check the following items first:
Problem
Dehumidifier
not operating
Very little
water is
collected
Leaking
Unit is noisy
Possible Causes What to Do
The unit is unplugged
The water tank is full or not in
place (the indicator is blinking)
The unit is defrosting (the
indicator is blinking)
The room humidity has reached
the setting
The ambient temperature is too
low (the unit is defrosting
often)
The ambient temperature is
too high that it causes
overheating
Air filter is dirty
The air inlet or outlet is covered
The unit is not level
The drainage is clogged or
loose
Unit is not on a flat and level
surface
Air filter is dirty
Make sure the plug is pushed completely
into the electrical outlet.
Empty the water tank, check that the float is
in position, and reinstall the water tank.
This is normal. The unit will restart its operation
after it has finished defrosting.
This is normal. Choose a lower relative
humidity setting (e.g. 40%RH) for drier air.
This is normal if the temperature is low.
Do not use the unit in small and closed
spaces where heat may accumulate. Move
the unit to a cooler place and wait at least
10 minutes before resuming operation.
Clean the filter.
Ensure nothing is obstructing the unit’s air
inlets and outlets and that the unit is set up
correctly according to the Unit Setup guide.
Ensure that the unit is placed on a level
surface and not accidentally sitting on a
cable etc.
Check the drainage hose and its
connection.
Move and restart the unit.
Clean the filter.
Please contact your retailer if any problem continues. Do not try to repair the unit yourself, as
as this could cause an electrical shock and void your warranty.
