POWER: Use this button to turn on or turn off the appliance. MODE CONTROL: Use this button to select the function of this unit: AUTO/HIGH/LOW or FAN. The appliance will start with the AUTO-function until you choose another function. The AUTO-Modus is ideal for domestic environment humidity of 50-55% RH and for saving electricity. You can choose between HIGH or LOW. If you choose the “FAN”-function the fan will work without dehumidification. LAMP: Please press this button to activate or deactivate the lamp. The indicator light colour will change according to the humidity condition: Red: high humidity, RH ≥70% Green: comfortable 70%-40% RH Orange: dry, RH<40% Note: It can take about 2 minutes until the indicator will change the colour. OSCILLATION: Use this function, if you need to set the position of the louvers. There are 3 different directions: 45°, 90° or swing mode between 45° and 90°. Press the button for the swing mode. If you continue pressing the button, the louvers will change to 45° or 90°. Do not operate the unit if the self-opening louvers do not open on power on. UP/DOWN key: Press UP/DOWN key to select the desired humidity level. Default relative humidity is 55%. If you select 35%, the compressor will not stop until the water tank is full. The humidity level can be set within a range of 35% RH to 80% RH in 5% increments. The compressor will work until the desired humidity is measured. The FAN-modus will change automatically and will move the air around the room ensuring the entire air in the room is processed. TIMER: Power-off function: - Press the Timer-button, while the device is on. - Use the “up” or “down” key to set the time period (0-24 hours) Power-on function: - Press the Timer-button, while the device is off. - Use the “up” or “down” key to set the time period (0-24 hours) DEFROST: The appliance will defrost automatically as programmed once the coil sensor detects temperature. The indicator will light up at the same time. Once defrosting finishes, the appliance will recover to its previous running mode. When the unit is in a room where the temperature is between 5°C and 12°C, the defrost mode enters every 30 minutes.
