NOTE: All the pictures in the manual are for explanation purposes only. The actual shape of the unit you purchased may be slightly different, but the operations and functions are the same.

When using the unit When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.This unit is designed to operate with a working O O O O environment between 5 C/41 F and 35 C/95 F.If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximatelythree minutes for the correct operation to resume.Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet, which is also being used for other electrical appliances.Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.Plug the unit into a electrical socket-outlet with earth connection.Make sure the Water bucket is correctly fitted otherwise the unit will not operate properly. NOTE:When the water in the bucket reaches to a certain level,please be careful to move the machine to avoid it falling down. Casters(At four points on the bottom of unit) Do not force casters to move over carpet, nor move the unit with water in the bucket. (The unit may tip over and spill water.) 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. Air outlet grille Air intake grille 20cm or more 20cm or more 20cm or more 20cm or more 40cm or more Positioning the unit Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water. Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation. Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 5 C(41 F). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 5 C(41 F), which may reduce performance. Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator. Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored. Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage. The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room. Fig.4a

Dryer mode(optional) The unit can make the MAX dehumidification function 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. NOTE: The Dryer mode must be operated in a close 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 (See Fig.A). 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. 30~50cm 30~50cm Airflow Fig.AWet clothesAllow 30~50cm of distanceon the top and right side ofthe unit to the wet clothes.

Removing the collected water 1. Pull out the bucket a little.2. Hold both sides of the bucket with even strength, and pull it out from the unit.3. Pour the water out.There are two ways to remove collected water.1. Use the bucket When the unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital display shows P2. When the unit is on,if the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying the water of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital display shows P2. Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill. Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.NOTES: When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate. When you remove the bucket,if there is some water in the unit you must dry it .Fig.5Fig.6

3. Clean the air filter

Fig. 8 After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket. Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter. Cover the unit with a plastic bag. Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

1. Clean the Grille and Case

Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. 2. Continuous drainingFig.7NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used,remove the drain hose from the outlet.Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose(not included).Cut the cover down from the back drain hose outlet. Attach a drain hose(ID=13.5mm) and lead it to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility(see Fig.7).

Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain,making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the warter flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly.Do never let it up. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for continuous draining to start.Fig. 9Fig. 10 The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary. NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER. To remove: Grip the tab on the filter and pull it upward, then pull it out as shown in Fig.8. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher. To attach: Insert the air filter into the unit from underside to upside. See Fig.10. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance. Attach the hose to the drain hose outlet.Cut the cover downTROUBLESHOOTING TIPS Before calling for service, review the chart below first yourself. Problem What to check Unit does not start Make sure the dehumidifier s plug is pushed completely into the outlet. Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box. Dehumidifier has reached its preset level or bucket is full. Water bucket is not in the proper position. Dehumidifier does not dry the air as it should Did not allow enough time to remove the moisture. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. The humidity control may not be set low enough. Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed. O O Room temperature is too low, below 5 C(41 F). There is a kerosene heater or something giving off water vapor in the room.

The unit makes a loud noise when operating The air filter is clogged. The unit is tilted instead of upright as it should be. The floor surface is not level. Frost appears on the coils This is normal. The dehumidifier has Auto defrost feature. Water on floor Hose to connector or hose connection may be loose. Intend to use the bucket to collect water, but the back drain plug is removed. ES, AS, P1 or P2 appear in the display These are error codes and protection codes. See the CONTROL PADS ON THE DEHUMIDIFIER section. 10DESHUMIDIFICADOR
