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.
Summer (humidity) 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.

circumstances where danger can result from
mishandling the unit.
WARNING
Mishandling may
result in fatal or
serious injuries.
Mishandling may result in
injuries or damage to your
home or property, etc.
CAUTION
Meanings of the graphic symbols used in this manual and
on the unit are explained below.

follow the
instructions
Forbidden
Keep
away
from fire
Do not
disassemble
Do not
subject to
water
WARNING
Do not start/stop the unit by
plugging/unplugging the power
cord.
This may result in fire and/or electric shock.
Do not use extension cords or
multiple head adapters.
This may result in fire, electric shock or
malfunctions.
Do not damage or modify the
power cord or plug.
Do not modify, bundle, twist, bend or heat the
power cord. Do not place under objects or
use with the end close to the plug bent.
The cord may be damaged resulting in fire or
electric shock. (Keep pets from biting the
cord.)
Do not put your fingers
or any long object, into
the air intake/outlet. Do
not touch the swing
louvre.
The internal fan rotates at high speeds, and
such actions may result in injury or
malfunctions.
Do not attempt to repair,
disassemble, or modify the unit.
Do not put the unit near heatgenerating devices (such as stoves,
fan heaters, etc.).
The plastic parts may melt causing fire.
Wipe dust off the power plug and
insert the plug firmly.
If the plug is not fully inserted into the
socket, dust may gather on the
connectors which may cause fire and/or
electric shock.
Use 220-240V AC power sockets.
Connecting to power sockets other than 220240V AC may result in fire and/or electric
shock.
Remove water that has collected
in the tank.
Accidentally drinking the water or using it for
other purposes may cause illness and/or
unforeseen accidents.
Should abnormal symptoms occur (a
burning smell, etc.), switch off the unit
and unplug it from the socket.

This may result in fire and/or electric shock.
See the last page for service contact details.
Continuing to operate the unit may result in
fire, electric shock, or malfunctions.
See the last page for service contact details.
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/fire.
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 filled with water on the unit.
Water may leak into the unit adversely affecting
electric insulation and cause electric shock
and/or fire by short-circuiting.
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 fire
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 fire.
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 scientific 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
flammable gas leakage.
Such a leak around the unit may cause
combustion and fire.
Do not remove the
Styrofoam from the
floating 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 fire or
electric shock caused by an electric leak .
Do not point air-flow 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 floor is flat and stable.
If the unit falls over, the water collected in the
water tank may leak damaging surrounding
objects and in turn result in fire 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 fire.
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.

Precautions (cont.)
CAUTION
After emptying the tank,
transport the unit by grasping
the handle firmly.
Losing your footing while carrying the
unit may cause personal injury or
damage to the floor.
When using the continuous
drainage outlet, make sure 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 over-
heating/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 fire and/or electric
shock caused by an electric leak.
Tips on dehumidifying
Drain the water tank before use
Refrain from opening
doors/windows during operation
Drying laundry indoors
¡Direct the louvres at the laundry.
¡Space laundry to improve airflow.
Use the dehumidifier in
a small, enclosed room.
Maintain room temperature above 16°C
with a heater.
¡ Drying times will vary depending on the nature of the
laundry and the room temperature. In low
temperatures, drying takes about twice as long as
normal. In low temperatures (10°C), drying takes
about twice as long as when normal (20°C+).
¡ 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.

Warnings
●
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.
● Damage to the dehumidifier caused by
atmospheric conditions (ie. Salt or Sulphur)
will not be covered under warranty.

Operating noise
Place the unit on top of a mat. This reduces
vibration and noise. It also prevents leaving
depressions on carpets.
● Do not carry the unit horizontally.
This may result in malfunctions.
Such malfunctions
are NOT covered
under warranty.

The washable photocatalytic filter is made from
two layers: a white particle filter and a blue airfreshener filter.

<
Particle filter
The particle filter removes pollen* and dust
particles.
<
Air-freshener Filter
The special air-freshening agent contained in
the fibres absorbs odorants such as ammonia.
The odorants are broken down by
photocatalysis constantly renewing the air-
freshening properties.
As the filter’s particle and air-freshening
properties are renewed by simply soaking and
leaving it to dry in the sun, the filter can be used
continuously over a long time.
Cigarette smoke and toxins found in smoke,
such as carbon monoxide, cannot be removed
with this filter.
