Warnings
■ In case of any abnormality, be sure to turn off the dehumidifier,
Disconnect the plug and make contact to the seller of your appliance.
(Abnormal operation may result in a failure of the unit, electric
shock, fire, or the like.)
■ Never attempt to turn off the dehumidifier by disconnecting the plug.
■ Never modify the dehumidifier. Do not attempt to disassemble or
service the unit by yourself.
■ To avoid the risk of the electric shock, never connect or disconnect
the plug by your hand Wet.
■ This unit is intended for the connection to the power source of 220
volts alternative current.
■ Remove any dust from the blades of the power plug and insert the
plug into an outlet securely.
■ To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, do not spray onto the dehumidifier.
Do not put any inflammables or chemicals near the unit.
■ To prevent resin parts from melting or catching on fire, do not place
the dehumidifier near heating appliances.
2
Use alternation power 220V

■ Do not connect the dehumidifier to an outlet having the electrical
ratings below the dehumidifier's.
■ The power cord must not be damaged or modified. Do not put anything
hot or heavy on the cord. Do not pull it out , or bundle it during operation.
■ To avoid damages to the power cord, do not pinch the cord in a door.
■ Never put rods or objects into the openings of the dehumidifier. Because
this unit contains a fan running at high speed, contact with the moving
fan will cause serious injury.
■ Remove water that has been collected in the tank.
(Accidentally drinking of the water or using it for other purpose may
cause illness and /or unforeseen accidents.)
!
Cautions
■ The dehumidifier must be used on a level and stable surface.
■ To prevent the water from freezing, do not use the dehumidifier and
the drain hose at ambient temperature below 0 C
■ Do not use the dehumidifier outside. Exposure to direct sunlight or
rain may result in overheating, electric shock and fire.
■ Do not put a water vessel on the dehumidifier
(In case of any spill of water, the water gets into the unit and
deteriorates the insulation.)
■ Never attempt to use the dehumidifier for special uses, such as food
or preservation of art objects, or the like. The deterioration of
preserving quality may be caused.
■ Do not use the dehumidifier where any leakage of oil or flammable gas
may take place.
3

■ Do not use the unit in places subject to chemicals.
■ For continuous draining, make sure that the drain hose is set properly without
a rising slope.
■ Be careful that a heating appliance is not exposed to the air outlet from the
dehumidifier.
■ Do not use the dehumidifier as a chair or a footstool.
■ For safety purpose, disconnect the power plug if the unit is not in use for a long time.
■ Be sure to take hold of the power plug when plugging in and out of an outlet.
■ In case of using the dehumidifier in a closet, be sure to prevent children from
getting in the closet.
■ Do not remove the float lever from the water tank.
■ To avoid damages to the power cord, do not pull out the cord when moving the unit.
■ Do not block up the air intakes and the air outlets. Do not cover the unit with
washed clothes.
■ Prior to continuous operation for a long duration, periodical checking is required
especially for the air clean filter, the drain hose, or the like.
■ Turn off the unit and disconnect the power plug before starting any cleaning or
other routine maintenance.
■ To avoid the risk of electric shock, never sprinkle or spill water on the
dehumidifier when cleaning.
■ Turn off the unit and empty the water tank before moving the
unit. Be sure to hold the handle when moving.

Operation and Performance
Defrosting operation
The evaporator within the dehumidifier builds up ice during the dehumidifying operation at room temperature of
approx. 15℃or less. For removing ice the defrosting device works automatically at an interval of approx. 30
minutes or more (for duration of approx. 5 minutes).
■ Both the dehumidifying function and the air cleaning function stop during the defrosting operation.
■ Do not disconnect the plug of the unit or turn off the unit during the defrosting operation.
This dehumidifier is not suitable for keeping the humidity very low (approx. 50 % RH or less)
This dehumidifier is designed to remove uncomfortable humidity in daily life and for auxiliary drying of washed
clothes indoors. It is not suitable for keeping the humidity very low.
Room temperature rises during the operation.
This dehumidifier does not have a cooling function. It produces heat during the operation and room temperature
rises by 1 C to 4 C. The temperature gets higher while it is operated in a closet, or the like. Furthermore, room
temperature rises because doors and windows are closed and heat is produced from other appliances in the room
and the sun radiation.

Nothing is wrong with your dehumidifier in case of the following phenomena
Phenomenon Reason
Operation stops occasionally The unit is defrosting (See page 5).
Dehumidified volume is small
Dehumidifier volume less when the room temperature
is low (see page 6) The unit stops operating when the
room temperature is below approx.. 5 C. The unit stops
dehumidifying because the humidity in a room drops to
60 % or less in "Automatic" mode. (See page 5).
he humidity in a room is still high
The room size may be too large. (see page 5) The doors
or the windows of the room may be opened and /or
closed frequently. (See page 5) .
Bad smell during operation Smell is emitted from the walls, furniture or other
objects.
Sound is produced within the unit Circulation of the refrigerant may cause sound until it is
stable.
Water is left in the water tank The water is left because the unit was subjected to
dehumidifying test in the factory.
The buzzer sounds The buzzer sounds when the water tank is full of water.
(See page 11).
