OPERATION

Control Panel

Power Button

The power button turns on and off. When you press the button, the unit begins to operate and the light will illuminate.

Humidity

The humidity function will allow you to set the desired level of humidity you would like for the room. To set it, use the “-” or “+” button to set your desired level. The unit will turn on automatically when the room humidity is higher than the selected level.

The humidity level may be set between level 30-80. The operational temperature for this unit is between 40 °F and 95 °F. If the temperature of the room falls below 40 °F, the unit will stop. This helps to protect the compressor inside the unit.

Note: The selected humidity may vary +,- 5%

Fan Speed
