Features
Powerful dehumidifying capability
The dehumidifier powerfully removes excess
moisture from the air creating a drier,healthier
home environment.
Excellent drying laundry function
The dehumidifier dries laundry quickly. This can
prevent laundry and furniture from becoming damp
and musty in a rainy season.
Quiet operation
For overnight operation,the QUIET mode may be
selected.
Drainage tank with a large capacity
Large 6 litre capacity water tank means the
dehumidifier requires emptying less often.
Using refrigerant for protecting environment
The dehumidifier uses no CFC refrigerant
therefore protecting the environment.
Modern Design
The dehumidifier is compact with a streamlined
appearance and modem design.
The castors at the bottom allow easy mobility.
SAVE
Saving energy
The power consumption is low.

The dehumidification capacity is the value obtained after the dehumidifier was continuously run in the
room temperature of 30 with the relative humidity 80%.
The amount of dehumidification is the amount per day(24 hours).
The manufacturer reserves the right to change specifications without prior notification.
The work temperature is in the range 2 to 38 . If the room temperature is beyond the range, the unit
can not operate normally.
If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around the cup is cooled, and drops of water
form on the surface of the cup. The dehumidifiertakes advantage of this phenomenon to
remove moisture.
It draws in room air, cools it with a cooling unit,
and changes the humidity to drops of water.
The drops of water fall into a drainage tank.
The dehumidified air is re-heated by a heating
unit and discharged.
Steps ,,and are repeated to remove
humidity from the room.
After the air passes through the re-heating unit, its temperature will rise a little, so that the
temperature of the room will rise by 2 to 4 . This is normal operation.

Operation
1.Plug the power supply plug into the outlet and press the “ On/Off” switch
When the “ On/Off” switch is pressed during operation:
The unit turns off.
Do not turn the unit off by unplugging the power cord.
2.Setting the louvre angle
3.Switching the Unit On
4.Switching the Unit Off
Use single phase 220 240V AC power supply.
Wipe dust off of the power supply plug and insert the plug firmly,
all the way to the rubber section.
Do not use the appliance if the supply cord is damaged.
After the power supply plug is plugged into the outlet, the“On/
Off” indicator will light.
Before operation please check and make sure the louver has been
opened to ensure adequate air flow.
Set louvre to desired angle (when room temperature is above
32 set louvre to vertical position to allow maximum air flow.)
Press the “On/Off” switch, the unit operates in CONTINUOUS
mode automatically.
Normal Mode: Press the mode button until the “ Normal” mode is
selected.This setting allows medium air flow.
Hi Mode:Press the mode button until the “Hi” mode is selected.
This setting allows maximum air flow,and is ideal for enhanced
dehumification,drying clothes etc.
(When the indoor temperature is below 15 or above 35 , the
inbuilt protection device will allow operation in “Hi” mode only.)
Quiet mode: Press the mode switch until the “Quiet”mode is
selected.This setting allows minimum air flow,and is ideal for over-
night operation.

Operation
Draining the water
The drainage tank is full
When the drainage tank becomes full (approx, 6 Litres), the full indicator lights to alert the user, and the
unit turns off automatically. Empty the water from the tank and discard it.
Drainage steps Notation for drainage
1. Remove the drainage tank
Lightly pressing on the sides of the tank with
both hands, pull it gently out.
Do not remove the bubble packing from the float
on the unit. The float on the unit will no longer be
able to detect without the bubble packing when the
water level is full, and water may leak from the
tank.
If the drainage tank is dirty, wash it with cold or
lukewarm water. Do not use detergent, scouring
pads, chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning
solutions as it may damage the drainage tank.
When replacing the drainage tank, press the tank
firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not
positioned properly, the “ Tank Full” sensor will
activate, and the dehumidifier will not operate.
Check to make sure the guards are firmly attached
to the tank. If they are not, the drainage tank will
be harder to remove.
If the drainage tank is removed while the unit is in
operation, or immediately after operation has
stopped, water which is still in the cooling unit may
drip out on the base plate. Wait at least 30 minutes
before removing the drainage tank.(If water has
dripped, wipe it up.)
Take hold of the handle, and then remove the tank.
2. Discard the water
3. Place the drainage tank back in it’s
compartment.

The unit has an optional continuous drainage port. Water can be continually drained by connecting a rubber
hose (15mm I.D), to this drainage port.When setting up the dehumidifier for continuous drainage, always
turn the unit off and unplug the supply plug.
2. Push the hose into the continuous drainage port
Pass a rubber hose (15mm I.D) through the continuous
drainage port, and press it firmly into the drainage port in
the main unit, making sure water does not leak.
The height of drain piping should always be lower than the
height of the drainage port.
Make sure there are no kinks or obstructions in the rubber
hose which may prevent the water draining out.
3.Return the drainage tank to its original position
Check the hose periodically to make sure it is still connected
and has not been obstructed.
1. Disconnect the drainage tank and open the
continuous drainage port.
Use sidecutters or similar tool to cut away the continuous
drainage port in the side of the main unit.

The following symptoms do not indicate a breakdown
Symptom Reason
Noise level increases during use. The sound level increases when the compressor
turns on.
The humidity does not drop. Is the room too big for the unit?
Are windows or doors opened and closed frequently? Is
there any item in the room which produces steam?
Very little dehumidifying takes place, or
none at all. This happens if the temperature and/or humidity of the room
is low.
When the unit is first used, the
discharged air smells musty.
Because the temperature of the heat exchanger rises
abruptly, an unusual or musty odor may be produced for a
moment.
The unit echoes. If the unit is used in a room with wood flooring or in a
small room, it may echo.
When the unit is turned on,or a different
mode is selected a strange noise is heard
from the main unit.
The refrigerant may make some noise until circulation
stabilizes.
Fluid or a white film is left in the
drainage tank.
The unit will only run in Hi”mode,
regardlless of any other mode being
selected.
The fan is running and the compressor
does not work.
When the temperature of the room is above 35 the
protection device is activated ,which will only allow the unit
to run in Hi”mode.When the room temperature is below
15 , the compressor operates at intervals of 40 minutes on
and 10 minutes off, or the automatic defrost function had
been initiated and the compressor will turn off temporarily.
Maintenance
Troubleshooting
This is water or steam residue left from dehumification
testing at the factory.This does not indicate a problem.
If the unit is started with in 3 minutes of the unit turning off, the
protectection device is activated, which will initiate a 3
minutes delay on the compressor turning on,or the automatic
defrost function has activated turning the compressor off
temporarily.

Before using your dehumidifier, please read this user’s manual
carefully, in order to ensure correct and safe use.After reading the
manual, make sure it is stored in a safe place for future reference
if necessary.
