Before Using the Unit
Features of This Dehumidifier
z Room temperature may rise 2–4°C during operation.
The dehumidier 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.)
z
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 airow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.

How does the dehumidier 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 Dehumidied air is heated by the re-heating coil, and
then blown out.
The humidity of the room is thus reduced by repeating the
above steps.
z The amount of dehumidifying
becomes less in winter.
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 effect of the dehumidier is greatly reduced
as shown in the graph below.
Although only a little water collects in the tank, this is not
a malfunction.
Summer (humidity) Winter (dampness)

Dehumidifying capacity (L/day)
Room temperature (°C)
z The values shown on the graph were measured at
constant temperature and humidity and do not
reflect values obtained in actual usage conditions.
28
z The unit can operate in a
room temperature range of
5–35°C.
However, if the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the
unit may operate in blower mode or increase the
airow. This is because the temperature within the unit
rises causing the protection mechanism to operate. In
order to lower the internal temperature of the unit, use
the unit with the swing stopped and louvre vertical.
z If the temperature is below 5°C, only the blower is
operational to prevent the extracted water freeze.

E
Before Using the Unit
Do not cover an air outlet or
air intake with laundry, cloth,
curtain, etc.
This results in poor ventilation and
may cause heat generation/re.
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 in a
bathroom or other
location where it is
likely to come into
contact with water, or wash it with
water.
Exposure to water may result in re or electric
shock caused by an electric leak.
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 that
may be subject to oil or ammable
gas leakage.
Such a leak around the unit may cause
combustion and re.
In addition, chemicals and solvents
evaporated in the air may deteriorate the unit
(crack the main body) and cause water in the
tank to leak, resulting in damage to property.
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

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 point airow from the
unit directly at the body for
a prolonged period of
time.
Be especially careful when
using the unit where there
is someone who is unable to adjust the
humidity (infant, child, or elderly person).
If air-flow is directed at the body for long
periods, it may harm one’s physical condition
and lead to dehydration.
Do not stand on, sit on or lean
against the unit. Do not pull the
unit by the downward air outlet.
As the unit is on wheels, it may move, tip
over, or fall causing personal injury.
Do not remove the Styrofoam

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 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.
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.

Drain the water tank before use.
Close the door and windows during operation.
Drying laundry
In winter, drying becomes easier if you also
use a heater to raise the room temperature to
approximately 16°C or more.
z Drying times will vary depending on the type of
the laundry and the room temperature. The low
temperature may double the drying time of normal
temperature. (Low temperature means approx. 10°C
while normal temperature means above 20°C.)
z The strong airflow is blown from the top right point of
the unit.
Installing your dehumidier
Make sure to leave some
space around the unit to
ensure good results.
