Why does the dehumidifier seem
to collect less water in winter?
A.
Are the temperature and humidity low?
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 dehumidifier is greatly
reduced as shown in the graph below.
Although only a little water collects in the tank, this
is not a malfunction.
•
Why doesn’t the dehumidifier operate?

Refrain from opening
doors/windows during operation
Drying laundry indoors
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.

What is a washable photocatalytic filter?
The water tank may contain water residue at time of
purchase. This is from final product testing at the
factory and is not due to a defect.
The washable photocatalytic filter has a two-layer
construction consisting of a white particle filter and a
blue air-freshener filter.
<Particle filter>
The fine particle filter removes pollen* and dust
particles.
<Air-freshener Filter>
The special air-freshening agent contained in the
fibres of the air-freshener filter absorbs odorants
such as ammonia. The odor is broken down by
photocatalysis 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 air purifier 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.
* Diameter of pollen: approx. 10-100µm

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.
Things to be aware of
Before using your
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.

¡ For the symptoms listed below, refer to the remedies listed right.
Symptom
Cause/Remedy
The unit blows warm air
Water does not collect in
the water tank (minimal
dehumidifying results)
The unit does not operate
(no air comes out)
The unit stops
The humidity level does
not reach the level set
The unit continues to operate

not swing
Stops after a
short time
¡ Dehumidified air passes through heating coils causing it to
warm (this unit is not a cooler). This is not a malfunction.
¡ Check to see if the temperature/humidity is low.
Low room temperature/humidity reduces dehumidifying
effectiveness. Confirm the current humidity reading (in winter,
the air is cooler reducing the amount of water collected).
This is not a malfunction.
¡ Check to see if the power cord is correctly plugged.
➝ Plug the power cord properly into the power socket.
¡ Check to see if anything is blocking the air intake or outlet.
➝ Remove the obstruction.
¡ Check to see if the pre-filter is clogged.
➝ Clean according to the maintenance procedures.
¡ Check to see if the unit is in EASY DEHUMIDIFYING, MILDEW
GUARD, or AUTO.
The unit is automatically controlling the dehumidifier, fan, and
standby times.
