Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the dehumidifier seem to collect less water in winter?
A. When the temperature and humidity are
low, the amount of water collected is decreased.
In winter, because the temperature is lower than in summer, the effects of the dehumidifier decrease dramatically as shown in the graph below. Although less water collects in the tank, this is not a malfunction.
Room temperature (°C)
Winter (dampness)
* If the temperature is low, but the humidity is high due
to snow or rain, operating the unit in LOW TEMP mode will yield better results than in LOW mode.

Things to Be Aware of
Before Using Your Dehumidifier
How does the dehumidifier work?
If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around it becomes cold, causing water droplets to form on the surface of the cup. The dehumidifier takes advantage of this phenomenon to remove moisture from the air. 1 The unit draws air from the room, cools it
with its cooling coil, causing the moisture to transform into water droplets.
2 The water droplets fall into the water tank. 3 The dehumidified air is reheated by the
heating coil, and then discharged.
The humidity of the room is thus reduced by repeating steps 1, 2, and 3.
Room temperature may rise 2-4°C during operation
The dehumidifier does not have a cooler function. Due to heat produced during operation, the room temperature may rise 2–4°C. As a result, the unit may blow warm air, but this is not due to a malfunction. During winter, the air may not feel warm as the temperature is below body temperature.
The humidity reading on the unit may differ from a hygrometer in the same room
Even in the same room, temperature and humidity levels may differ from place to place. If the hygrometer and the unit are in different parts of the room, the humidity levels are prone to differ. Moreover, humidity levels differ between places that have good and no airflow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.

Information
If the room temperature falls below 15°C, defrosting mode is activated once every 40 minutes (for about 5 minutes) causing water to drain to the tank.
The unit can operate in a room temperature range of 1-35°C. However, if the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the unit may operate in blower mode or increase the airflow. This is because the temperature within the unit rises causing the protection mechanism to operate. In order to lower the temperature within the unit, when using the louvre, point UPWARD.
• If the temperature is below 1°C, the extracted water is close to freezing disabling the dehumidifier, and only the blower is operational.

EASY DEHUMIDIFYING
The unit operates intermittently controlling the airflow to remove the damp feeling in the air. (There is no need to set the humidity level.) When the room temperature is high, the blower operates to decrease the damp feeling.
The airflow or louvre operation may stop according to the humidity level.
INTELLIGENT LAUNDRY
The unit controls the airflow rate while monitoring the humidity in the room, and automatically stops operation when the laundry is dry. (This eliminates the need to make minor changes to the humidity and operating time settings depending on the amount of laundry.) Operation is performed for a maximum of approximately 12 hours.

Do not use in conjunction with the OFF timer.
The timer may turn the unit off before the laundry dries.
If the room temperature is approximately 5°C or less, the operation stops for around 1 hour.
If the room temperature is low, it becomes difficult for water to evaporate from the laundry, because the humidity does not change. Use a heater in combination with the unit in order to raise the room temperature to approximately 16°C or more.
The following conditions prevent clothes from drying well:
Room temperature below 15°C, large volume of laundry; laundry not spaced well; clothes of thick fabric and spacious room.

When the temperature is low, condensation may still form on windows exposed to the outside air even when LOW TEMP mode is operating.
Information
How is mildew growth suppressed?
Mildew is unable to produce new spores if dried as mycelia. The Mildew Guard feature applies this principle. (However, the spores themselves are resilient to dry conditions.)
“Identification of Aspergillus and Penicillium”
<Research paper by Dr. K. Abe of the Environmental Biology Research Center>
Information
Refrain from turning on ventilation fans or opening windows or doors as this lowers performance. Mildew growth may still occur due to the fungus type and conditions of the room.
E.g. Rooms that contain excessive condensation, bathrooms, and places with bad airflow (insides of closets and behind furniture). This mode does not remove existing mildew. Do not use in conjunction with OFF Timer mode. Effects may not be achieved.
