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.

malfunctions.
Do not attempt to repair,
disassemble, or modify the unit.
This may result in re and/or electric
shock. Refer servicing to your dealer or
Mitsubishi Electric Service Centre.
Do not put the unit near heatgenerating devices (such as
stoves, fan heaters, etc.).
The plastic parts may melt and cause re.
Wipe dust off the power plug and

If the plug is not fully inserted into
the socket, dust may gather on the
connectors which may cause re and/or
electric shock.
Use 220–240V AC power sockets.
Connecting to power sockets other than
220–240V AC may result in re and/or
electric shock.
Remove water that has collected

E
Before using the unit
CAUTION
Do not cover the front or side
air intakes or the air outlet
with cloth, curtain, etc.
This results in poor ventilation and
may cause heat generation/re.
Do not stand on, sit on or lean
against the unit.
The unit may tip over causing injury.
Do not put vases or any other
objects lled with water on the unit.
Water may leak into the unit adversely
affecting electric insulation and cause
electric shock and/or re by shortcircuiting.
Do not use the unit where it may be
exposed to direct sunlight or other
weather conditions.
(This unit is for indoor
use only.)
This may cause overheating,
electric shock and/or re
caused by an electric leak.
Do not use the unit in narrow,
enclosed places such as inside
closets, between
pieces of furniture, etc.
This results in poor
ventilation and may cause
heat generation and/or re.
Do not use combustion appliances
in the path of the
air outlet.
This may cause
incomplete combustion
in the appliance.
Do not use the unit in places
where chemicals are used
(such as hospitals, factories,
laboratories or beauty salons).
Chemicals and solvents evaporated in
the air may harm the unit and cause
water in the tank to leak, resulting in
damage to property.
Do not use the unit for special
purposes, such as preservation of
food, art or scientic
works.
This may negatively affect
the quality of the items
stored.
Do not drain water continuously
if there is a possibility that
temperature around the hose could
drop to freezing point.
Water inside the hose may freeze and
prevent the water in the tank from flowing out.
The water may leak from the unit and
damage surrounding objects.
Do not use the unit in places
that may be subject to oil or
ammable gas leakage.
Such a leak around the unit may cause
combustion and re.
Do not remove the Styrofoam
from the oating element.
The floating element will not
be able to detect a full tank
resulting in water leakage,
which may damage surrounding
objects or cause electric shock and/or
an electric leak.
Do not wash the unit
with water. Do not
use the unit where it
is likely to come in
contact with water.
Exposure to water may result in re or
electric shock caused by an electric
leak.
Do not point air-ow from the unit
directly at the body.
If air-flow is directed at
the body for long periods,
it may harm one’s
physical condition and
lead to dehydration.
Install the unit in a location where
the oor is at and stable.
If the unit falls over, the water collected
in the water tank may leak damaging
surrounding objects and in turn result
in re or electric shock caused by an
electrical leak.
Grasp the plug and remove
from the power socket.
When removing the plug
from the power socket, do
not pull on it diagonally or by the cord as
this may cause the projections/wiring to
be damaged resulting in a short circuit,
electric shock or re.
Before moving the unit always switch
it off, unplug it and remove water
from the water tank.
Moving the unit with water in its tank may
cause the water to leak and damage the
surrounding objects and in turn result
in electric shock and/or an electric leak.
Drain the water tank before use
Refrain from opening
doors/windows during operation
Drying laundry indoors
Maintain room temperature above 16°C with a
heater
Drying times will vary depending on the nature of the
laundry and the room temperature.
The airflow is strongest to the top right of the unit.
Installing your dehumidifier
Make sure to leave some
space around the unit.
<For use in close
proximity to a wall>
Stop the louvre in the
vertical position. Blowing
air at the wall may cause
staining.
Operating noise
Place the unit on top of a mat. This reduces vibration
and noise. It also prevents leaving depressions on
carpets.

Precautions (Cont.)
CAUTION
Use the dehumidifier in
a small, enclosed room.
l Keep the unit always in an upright
position. Inclining the unit may cause water
in the tank to leak into the unit, resulting in
malfunction. Should this happen contact
service number on the last page for advice.
l
Damage to the dehumidifier caused by
atmospheric conditions (ie. Salt or Sulphur) will
not be covered under warranty.
After emptying the tank,
transport the unit by grasping
the handle rmly.
Losing your footing while carrying
the unit may cause personal injury
or damage to the oor.
When using the continuous

to position the hose so that
the water drains without
obstruction.
The water in the tank may leak and
damage surrounding objects.
When draining water
continuously or left
unattended for long periods,
inspect the unit every two
weeks.
Do not allow debris to clog the
filter/hose as this may cause
overheating/leakage.
Use the unit with caution
in rooms where the walls,
furniture and art work are
vulnerable to dry air, as
it may cause cracks and
warping.
Switch the unit off and
unplug from the power
source when cleaning it.
When the unit is on, the internal fan
rotates at high speeds and may
cause injury.
Unplug the unit from the
power source when not using
the unit for an extended
period of time.
Otherwise it may cause re and/
or electric shock caused by an
electric leak.
