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.

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.
