Power o While the appliance is operating, press the POWER button to turn it o. Mode setting button You can change the mode of the dehumidier to dry clothes or dehumidify. To do this press the MODE button.

1. Dry Clothes Function: When the DRY indicator is illuminated the unit

will continually dehumidify whatever the ambient humidity is. The fan speed will be locked in the DRY function and can not be changed.

2. Dehumidify Function: When the DEHUMIDIFY indicator is illuminated

the unit will dehumidify the air. While in this mode, the fan speed can be set and the humidity setting can be controlled. Humidity setting To change the humidity level, press the humidity setting button, each time the button is pressed, the display will change as follows CO~40%~45%~50 %~55%~60%~65%~70%~CO. After setting the humidity level, the display will revert to the current moisture level detected by the internal sensor. When the machine detects that the ambient humidity is 2% lower than the set humidity, the machine will stop dehumidifying, the fan will keep working in low speed. When the machine detects that the ambient humidity is 2% higher than the set humidity, the machine will start dehumidifying and the fan come back to work at set speed. When the ambient humidity is ≤30%, the LO icon will be displayed; When the ambient humidity is ≥80%, the HI icon will be displayed. CO means Continuously dehumidify whatever the ambient humidity is. The machine default setting is CO when switch on the machine in the beginning. When operating in the dry clothes function, the machine is running in CO status. Timer To start the timer function, press the TIMER button; the timer indicator will illuminate. On each press of the TIMER button, the display will change from 1 to 8 hours in 1 hour steps. 0H means that the timer mode is canceled. While in the timer mode, if the water tank is full or if it enters the auto defrost mode, the unit will stop. Fan Speed setting To control the speed of the fan, press the FAN button. There are two fan speeds which are low or high; each time the FAN button is pressed, the speed of the fan toggles between these two speeds. Note that the fan speed can not be set while in the DRY function. Swing To make the air outlet louver open and close continually, press the SWING button. Pressing the SWING button again disables this function. Lock function To prevent accidental operaiton of the unit, the keypad can be locked.EN Memory function

1. If the unit is turned o via the POWER button, when turned back on

again it will resume from the function it was turned o in. Note that if the timer was set or if the unit was in the lock mode, these settings are not stored.

2. If the mains power is disconnected while the unit is operating, it will

not start automatically when the mains is reconnected. When the mains power is applied again, you will need to press the POWER button to restart operation. The unit will start up in the initial mode. Water tank full auto-stop function When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operation, the air outlet louver will close and a buzzer will sound. To reset, remove the water tank, empty and replace. When the empty water tank is put back into the unit, it will restart. Note that the compressor will take about 3 minutes to operate. Auto defrost If the unit is used in a low temperature environment, the internal evaporator may be covered by frost. In order to make sure the machine operates normally, the machine has auto-defrost function. Should the internal sensor detect a temperature of ≤-1°C the machine will enter auto-defrost function. That means it will run continuously in the dehumidication mode for 30 minutes, then the machine will start the defrost cycle, the DEFROST light will illuminate, the compressor will stop and that fan will operate at high speed. When temperature of evaporator is ≥2°C and the unit has been in the defrost mode for 10 minutes, the auto-defrost mode will turn o and the compressor turns on. At this point the unit will start to dehumidify and the DEFROST light will turn o. While in the defrost mode and the temperature of the evaporator is ≥0°C for two minutes, the defrost function is cancelled. Compressor protection function Should there be a problem with the unit causing the compressor to stop, the compressor will turn o for 3 minutes. Normally the compressor will restart after 3 minutes, if it does not unplug the unit for an hour and try again. If it still does not start, call for service. High/Low temperature protection function If the unit detects that the ambient temperature is outside of the normal operating range of 5°C to 38°C, it will shut down. When the normal operating range is reached, the compressor will start. Note that it will take the compressor 3 minutes to start working once the normal temperature range is met. Low humidity protection function If the unit detects low humidity of <30% the display will indicate LO and it will stop any dehumidifying action and the fan will operate a the lowest speed. If the humidity is over 80%, the display will indicate HI and keep dehumidifying. High temperature fan speed switch function When the unit is dehumidifying in a high temperature environment and the fan speed is set to low, it will switch automatically to the high speed. This is to prevent excessive load on the compressor. When the ambient air temperature reduces, the fan speed will return to the low setting. Error codes There are number of error codes which may appear in the display, these are as below. When the error code is displayed, it will ash. If any of these error codes are experienced, call for service. C1 – Indicates that there is a fault with the evaporator temperature sensor. In this condition, the unit will stop working. C2 – Indicates that there is a fault with the ambient air temperature sensor. In this condition, the unit will stop working. C8 – The temperature of the evaporator checked every 8 minutes, if this is within ≤3°C of the ambient air temperature for 5 consecutive checks, the unit will shut down and the error code C8 is displayed. Continuous drainage function Should it be necessary to provide continuous drainage, this can be achieved by tting a 15mm inner diameter pipe to the drainage hole on the rear of the unit. When installed, water will drain through the pipe and not into the water tank. Ensure that the drainage pipe runs in a downwards direction, and it not bent or damaged in any way so that the water runs freely out of the unit. When tting the drainage pipe, make sure that it is pushed all the way into the drainage hole so that it pushed over the drain outlet which is located about 70mm inside the unit from the rear cover of the unit. Refer to the 3 on page 1 for the location of the drainpipe connection port. Maintenance When cleaning your dehumidier:
