3. BEFORE FIRST USE

3.1 Selecting a Location

Important

1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. It may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
4. The de hum idifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water.

4.1 Connect the Unit to Power

Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating.

Unit must be upright for one hour prior to operating.

To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps:

• Turn off the de hum idifer at the power source when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
• Operate the unit with air filter in place.
• Do not block or cover the intake grille, discharge area and outlet ports.
• Ensure that any electrical/electronic equipment is one yard away from the unit.

• Do not use or store flammable gases near the unit.

• There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.

3.2 How It Works

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The unit is designed to operate between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (96°F). The unit will not work properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will fall greatly. The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.

1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 220-240V AC outlet.
2. If the BUCKET FULL light is on, remove the bucket and re-install to reset the float switch.

4.2 To Run in Continuous Mode

1. Press the ON/OFF button.
2. Pressing the Option button until the Cont. indicator light.

4.3 To Set Desired Humidity

After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY — or + buttons to choose a value between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the — or + buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual room humidity.

4.4 Change the Fan Speed

You can use the Tub obutton to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW. In the high fan speed, the indicator which above the turbo button will light. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

4.5 ION Function

Press the Ion button ⚠ to activate the ionizer. Anions air automatically generated by ionization. The anions deactive the airborne chemical vapors and dust particles. When the Ion function is activated the indicator which above the Ion button will light. Press the Ion button again to stop the function.

4.6 SMD mode

At smart dehumidifying mode, the unit will automatically control room humidity in a comfortable range 45%\~55% according to the room temperature. The humidity setting function will be invalid. To activate the SMD mode, press the Option button until the SMD indicator light.

During the SMD mode the humidity is controlled by the unit automatically, no need to change the setting humidity manually.

4.7 Dryer Mode

The unit can reach the MAX dehumidification performance when it is under the Dryer mode. The fan speed is fixed at high fan speed. The humidity level is automatically controlled according to the actual room humidity. The unit will quit dryer mode after a maximum 10 hours' operation.

To activate the Dryer mode, press the Option button :until the Dryeri indicator light

1) Air flow direction; 2) Wet clothes.

NOTE:

• The Dryer mode must be operated in a dose room, do not open the door and window.
  • To make the best effective dehumidification, please first dehydrate the wet clothes.

- Make sure to direct airflow at the wet clothes shown as picture below.

- For thick and heavy wet clothes may not get the best effective dehumidification.

CAUTION!

- Do not cover the air outlet of the unit with clothes. It may cause excessive heat, fire or failure of unit.

- Do not place the wet clothes on the top of the unit and do not make the water drop into the unit. It may cause electric shock, creepage or failure of unit.

4.8 How to Use Timer Function

The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 05hour to 24 hours.

When the unit is on, first press the Timer button, the Timer Off indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Stop program \$ initiated. Press it again in the Time On indicator light illuminates .It indicates the Auto Start is initiated.

Press or hold the + or - pad to change the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining until start.

The selected time will register in 5 seconds and the system will automatically revert back to display the previous humidity setting.

When the Auto start & Auto stop times are set, within the same program sequence, I IMERONOFF indicator lights illuminate identifying both ON and OFF times are now programmed.

Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time or adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function. When LED display window displays the code of P2, the Auto Start/Stop function will also be cancelled.
