STRUCTURE OF THE DEHUMIDIFIER

This product uses a desiccant dehumidifying structure.

1. The router absorbs moisture from the drawn in air

before blowing the dry air back out.

2. The heater heats up the router and released the

absorbed moisture into the condenser.

3. After cooling in the condenser, the moisture forms

water droplets and drains into the water tank. Product May Increase Room Temperature This product is not an air conditioner. Use in areas exposed to direct sunlight or near sources of heat may cause the temperature in the room to rise. When running only the circulator, it operates as a normal fan. Air Flow After Stopping Operation The dehumidifier will continue to produce air flow for up to 4 minutes after it stops dehumidifying in order to cool internally. Please do not unplug the power plug while product is still running. The product is designed to be used in a closed room. Opening and closing windows and doors can cause changes in room temperatures which can decrease the effectiveness of the dehumidification process. PLACEMENT Please use the minimum distances illustrated in the image when placing the product. Do not place the product near heating or cooling devices. Please place in areas with favorable air circulation. Please do not point the air outlet directly at furniture, walls, curtains, or electrical appliances. Place the product on a level, stable surface. Do not operate if the product is at an angle or falling down. This may lead to injury or damage to the surrounding areas. At least
