OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
AUTOMATIC DEHUMIDIFYING
1. Plug unit into an appropriate electrical outlet. The
unit will beep 3 times. If open, the air oscillator
will return to its closed position.
2. Press the on/off button to start the unit. The air
oscillator will open to its maximum position and
the unit will start the automatic dehumidification
function.
3. The auto button enables you to select between
automatic dehumidification and automatic whisper
quiet dehumidification.
4. Press the auto button once to switch the unit
between automatic dehumidification and whisper
quiet dehumidification.
5. In automatic dehumidification mode, the unit will
monitor the relative humidity of the environment
and adjust its functionality accordingly, cycling on
and off to maintain your desired comfort level.
6. In whisper quiet mode, the unit will operate as in
the automatic dehumidification mode but at low
speed. The quiet icon will be highlighted in the
LCD display.
7. The default humidity level is set at 60% relative
humidity (RH). Press the humidity control buttons
up and down to adjust the humidity level as
desired. Please refer to the humidity control
instructions below for additional operating
instructions.
8. To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button again.
The air oscillator will close and the unit will stop
working.
CONTINUOUS DEHUMIDIFYING
To set the unit to operate continuously, turn the unit
on and then press the continuous operation button.
The unit will operate in high speed, at 60% RH.
When you activate this mode, the continuous icon
will be shown in the LCD display.
NOTE: If you adjust the humidity control buttons
during the continuous operation, the unit will resume
the automatic dehumidification mode.
NOTE: If continuous drain function is not in use and
the water reservoir is not manually emptied, the unit
will automatically shut off when the water reservoir
becomes full.
USING THE TIMER
Once the unit is powered on and an operating mode
is selected, press the timer button continuously,
choosing from 1 to 8 hours as desired. The timer
icon will be highlighted on the LCD display and show
the number of hours remaining until the unit shuts
off.
OSCILLATING FUNCTION
Press the oscillation button to set the air oscillator to
oscillate automatically between 45 and 90 degrees.
Press again to select a stationary position for the air
oscillator at the desired angle between 45 and 90
degrees.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
When the unit starts, the humidity level of the
environment will be shown on the LCD display.
1. For automatic or whisper quiet modes, press the
humidity control buttons to select the desired
humidity level. The control allows you to adjust
level in 5% intervals from 40% to 80%.
2. 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 16º C or
lower, the unit's temperature sensor will set the
compressor to dehumidify for 25 minutes and then
shut off automatically. The fan will keep running for 7
minutes to defrost in a cycle.
NOTE: When the defrost icon is shown on the LCD
display, the compressor will shut off and the fan will
run at high speed.
WATER FULL PROTECTION
& AUTO-SHUTOFF
When the water reservoir is full, the unit will sound
an alarm beeping 10 times (for about 5 seconds).
The water reservoir full icon will be displayed on the
screen and the unit will shut off automatically. This
indicates that it is time to empty the water reservoir
before using the unit again. Once the empty water
reservoir 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.
