Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the unit with a desired humidity setting.
Turn it counterclockwise to switch off. The humidistat can be set along
Lo(70~60%RH), Med(60~50%RH), Hi(50~40%RH) or other positions to
control the unit on and off automatically for keeping the room humidity
at a suitable humidity. At Laundry, the unit will run continuously until
the bucket is full.
Push the switch the button to the right for TURBO MODE (high heating
power and high fan speed).

the excess moisture from all of the rooms
in the house will migrate naturally towards
the dehumidifier and be processed.

PLEASE NOTE
Smell coming from the dehumidifier
When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice
a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material
and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets.
The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from items like cigarettes,
cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the
desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been
described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long
and is not a sign of a fault.
Amount of water collected
When you first use your dehumidifier it may work harder to reduce the room humidity
to it's target humidity level, this is the time when it will produce the most water and
need emptying most frequently. As the room becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects
less water. This is normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached the
dehumidifier will stop.
If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air
further then turning the humidistat knob more clockwise will turn on the dehumidifier
again to dry the air further to a less humidity. You may choose Turbo mode to get a
faster drying, or choose quiet mode to get a slower but less quieter operation.
Safety temporary auto shut-off
The unit may automatically switch off periodically to cool itself down as a safety
precaution (for approximately 15 minutes). This feature is evident in the Turbo mode.
This is normal and once the unit cools down, it will resume operation.
