OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug unit into an appropriate electrical outlet. The
unit will beep 3 times.
2. To start the unit, turn the knob to the desired
humidity level. You may adjust the humidity to a
level between 30% and 80% relative humidity.
3. To turn the unit off, turn the knob to "Off".
HUMIDITY CONTROL
If the unit humidity level sensor detects humidity levels
in the environment that are lower than the selected
humidity level, the compressor will shut off and the
fan will work on low speed. The humidity level of the
environment must be higher than the humidity level
selected in order for the unit to start operating again.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING
If the room temperature drops down to 16° C or lower,
the unit's temperature sensor will turn the compressor
to off for 10 minutes. The defrost light "
The unit will resume operation for 40 minutes. If the
temperature is still below 16° C then the unit will keep
defrosting until the temperature has risen above 16° C
or turn off.
WATER FULL PROTECTION &
AUTO-SHUTOFF
When the tank is full, the unit will sound an alarm
beeping 10 times (for about 5 seconds). The tank
full light " " will go on and the unit will shut off
automatically. This indicates that it is time to empty the
tank before using the unit again. Once the empty tank
is placed back into the unit, it will take up to 3 minutes
for the dehumidifier compressor to work again. This is a
protection feature. If you wish to restart the unit without
waiting, unplug it from the electrical outlet and plug it in
again.
WATER DRIP PROTECTION
When the tank is removed for emptying, this device will
keep the condensed water that continues to drip. Once
the tank is placed back in the unit, it will release this
water into the tank.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
For added user convenience, this dehumidifier includes
a hose that can be attached to it to operate with
continuous drainage. To use it, simply remove the
drain plug located in the back of the unit and connect
the PVC hose that comes with the unit. Find a suitable
location for the unit where the open end of the hose can
drain the outgoing water into an appropriate receptacle
or outside of your home, far enough away from the
foundation to ensure proper drainage. The unit will now
direct water from the bypass port and through the hose,
rather than into the tank.
NOTE: Please make sure to place the open end of the
hose flat on the ground ensuring it is not entangled.
CAUTION: The drain hose must be below the drain
plug in order for the unit to drain properly.

NOTE: To help prevent leakage, you should use a
marker to denote the location where the hose meets
the housing on the rear of the unit. Periodically check to
make sure this indicator has not moved away from the
housing to ensure that your hose will not leak. Leakage
inside the unit will fall into the tank. If this happens you
must empty the tank.
