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.
•
Why doesn’t the dehumidifier operate?
•
Why does the unit stop operating suddenly?
A.The unit might be in INTELLIGENT
LAUNDRY mode.
The unit may sometimes stop operation after just a
short amount of time as a result of conditions
such as the room temperature and humidity.

Recognizing the antioxidant qualities of natural herbs,
we put the oil extracted from rosemary, which has
exceptional antioxidant qualities, into the air outlet
cartridge. The fragrance is so slight that it can be hardly
noticed.
The reason washing yellows is because colourless
organic material trapped within the fibres is oxidized by
heat from a drier or the sun’s UV rays. By using the
dehumidifier and drying your washing indoors, you can
keep away the oxidizing effects of heat and UV rays, as
well as benefit from rosemary’s antioxidant properties,
preventing your clothes from yellowing.
What is a silver ion filter?
The silver ion filter has a two-layer construction
consisting of a white particle filter and a blue airfreshener filter.
<Particle filter>
The fine particle filter removes pollen* and dust
particles.
* Diameter of pollen: approx. 10-100μm
<Silver ion filter>
A special deodorant and anti-bacterial agent (antiallergen, anti-virus and sterilization) are contained in
the fibres of the silver ion filter.
Cigarette smoke and toxins found in smoke, such as
carbon monoxide, cannot be removed with this filter.

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.

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.
