Frequently Asked Questions - TD-C120 Toyotomi

How do I clean the air filter?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter cover, take out the filter, and wash it with warm water and mild detergent. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 2 weeks for optimal performance.

What does the 'Full Tank' indicator mean?

It means the water tank is full. Empty the tank through the drain outlet, then replace it securely. The unit will resume operation automatically.

Can I use a continuous drain hose?

Yes. Connect a standard garden hose (1/2 inch) to the drain outlet on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is positioned downward for gravity drainage.

Why is my dehumidifier not collecting water?

Check if the humidity level is set above the room's humidity. Also ensure the temperature is above 5°C. Clean the air filter and make sure the coils are not frosted (wait for defrost cycle).

How often should I empty the water tank?

It depends on humidity. In high humidity (above 70%), you may need to empty every 4-6 hours. The tank holds 3.5 liters. The unit will shut off automatically when full.

The unit is making a loud noise. What should I do?

Check if the unit is level on a flat surface. Ensure there are no loose objects inside. A slight gurgling sound from the refrigerant is normal. If loud vibrations occur, place a mat underneath.

What is the ideal humidity setting for a bedroom?

For comfort and health, set the humidity between 40% and 50%. Lower settings (30-40%) are for basements or areas with mold issues.

How do I defrost the unit?

The automatic defrost function activates when ice builds up on the coils. The compressor stops and the fan runs until the ice melts. Do not manually scrape ice.

Can I use the dehumidifier in a cold room?

The unit operates in temperatures from 5°C to 35°C. Below 5°C, frost may form and reduce efficiency. The automatic defrost helps, but performance drops below 10°C.

Where can I buy a replacement filter?

Contact Toyotomi customer service or visit authorized parts distributors. Use only genuine Toyotomi TD-C120 filters to ensure proper fit and performance.

OPERATING MANUAL ENGLISH P. 1

MANUEL D'UTILISATION FRANÇAIS P. 5

The idea behind the unit is a localized dehumidification. The unit will greatly enhance your personal comfort whether at a work office, bathroom or even in your favorite closet.

It dries the air so that you can stay comfortable even when it's humid or rainy outside. Also your furnishings, fabrics and clothes are kept in good condition, and it is easy to dry your laundry and dry it quickly.

This unit creates dry air zone anywhere you need it. It means that it does not waste energy drying the surroundings.

It's easy to operate. Once you set your desired level of relative humidity from 60% to 40% , the built-in humidistat allows the room humidity to be controlled automatically.

By connecting the commercially available hose to the unit, you can use it as continuous drainage mode. This is especially convenient for using in the outside such as garage.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES

This unit takes in the humidity and dry air is directed out from the upper louvers by the compressor.

2. AUTOMATIC OPERATION:

Once the desired function has been set, it is memorized as long as it remains connected to the wall outlet. In the event of a power failure, the desired function must be re-entered when power is restored.

3. HUMIDITY CONTROL:

The compressor will automatically shift to ON or OFF to maintain the desired humidity.

4. AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF MECHANISM WHEN THE DRAIN TANK IS FULL:

When the drain tank is full, the unit will be automatically shut off. The "FULL" lamp will blink. It will resume operation after the condensed water is removed from the tank.

5. AIR FILTER:

A pre-filter protects the unit from dust.

FULL lamp is ON even the water tank is empty.	- The tank is not inserted properly.- The float of tank is not placed properly.	- Take the water tank out once, and push it back to the proper position.-Place the float in the proper position.
The product does not de-humidify.	- The filter is dusty or air outlet is clogged.- Surrounding temperature and humidity are low.	- Clean the filter and air outlet.- As the temperature and humidity are lower, the amount of de-humidification is also lower.
Operation sound is loud.	- The filter is dusty- The unit operates on the rough place.	-Clean the filter.-Operate at the flat place.
The drain water is leaked.	- The unit leans.- Move the unit with water in the tank.- The float is not in the proper position.- Take the water tank out soon after stopping the operation.	- Operate at the flat place.- Remove the water at first, and then you can move the product.- Place the float properly.- The product keeps draining even the unit stops operating. Wait for approx. 5mins.
