Frequent enquiries


Q: Why is less water stored in water tank of the
dehumidifier in winter?
In winter temperature is low and air is dry. In comparison with summer,
the dehumidification ability of the dehumidifier decreases remarkably,
this is not a fault.



Q: Why the dehumidifier cannot run or stops
runningsuddenly？
 This dehumidifier may be full of water or water tank is not installed properly,
drain the water in water tank, or re-install water tank in correct way.
 At the moment the dehumidifier may be in the “dehumidification mode”,
the ambient temperature is lower or higher (dehumidification cannot be
performed when the ambient temperature is ＜5℃ or ＞32℃).

The ambient temperature for operation of the dehumidifier is 5- 32℃,
and the relative humidity is 30%-80%. The optimal temperature for use is
16-32℃;




Q: Why is hot air blown out from air supply outlet?
 This dehumidifier extracts the air in the room, and the dehumidification unit
cools the air, the temperature decreases below the condensation point, the air
condenses into water drops, which falls into water tank finally, and the
dehumidified air is heated by the temperature returning unit. This can reduce
energy consumption and also accelerate dehumidification, therefore, hot air
is blown out, and this not a fault.

Installation



Please drain the water from water tank before running.
During running please do not open doors and windows as much as
possible since this can save energy resources.
When the dehumidifier is installed, a certain space must be reserved
around this dehumidifier, the minimum distance above is 50cm, and
the minimum distance in front/rear and left/right is 20cm as required,
as shown in figure below.
When big noise is found during operation of this dehumidifier:
It is recommended inserting pads or damping rubber sheets, etc.
below this dehumidifier, this can reduce vibration and noise, and can
also reduce sinking of wood floor or carpet.

 When the dehumidifier is running, press the [Timer key] to adjust time from 1h
to 24h, pressing the key once to increase the setting time by 1h, after the setting
time exceeds 24h, the figure returns to 1 to start cycle. The Timer key can also
be pressed all the time, the time increases and changes circularly, when the set
time expires, the dehumidifier turns off automatically. After the setting is
completed, if the Timer key does not act at all within 5s, the set time is
confirmed. In timer off state the key lamp on the [Timer key] is normally on.
Setting of timer on
 When the dehumidifier is in standby state, the method for adjustment of setting
time by the [Timer key] is the same as timer off. After the setting is completed,
if the Timer key does not act at all within 5s, the set time is confirmed. In timer
on state the key lamp on the [Timer key] is normally on, and the set time is
displayed on control panel.
AUTO mode
 Select AUTO dehumidification, if the room humidity is >the set humidity+5%,
the compressor starts, and the motor runs at high speed., if the room humidity is
between the set humidity+5% and the set humidity-5%, the compressor starts,
and the motor runs at low speed, if the room humidity is <the set humidity-5%,
the compressor stops, the fan runs at low speed. The initial value of the set
humidity is 50%.
CONTINUOUSmode
 Select CONTINUOUS dehumidification, no matter how the relative humidity in
the room is, the compressor starts, the fan runs at high speed in default, and the
air speed can be regulated via the air speed key.
DRYING function in dehumidifier

BUZZER sounds for 10 times to remind the user till water is drained.
Place both hands
respectively at the side of
the back cover side of the
depression, gently remove
the water tank and open the
tank cover on the right side
of the body, then pour the
water from the gap between
water tank and the cover.
Close the tank cover,and
rotating water tank handle
down,then put the water tank
gently and put it back in the
right place to restart
dehumidifier.
Attention: when the water tank is full of water, please empty it. Before
putting the water tank into the dehumidifier, please confirm whether the
floater rotates flexibly or not, and then push it in position with both hands.

常見問題
Q
為何冬天抽濕機水
箱中存水較少
？
Q
:
為何冬天抽濕機水
箱中存水較少
？
在冬天，氣溫低，空氣乾燥。相較夏天，抽濕機的抽濕能
力劇烈下降，這並非故障。
Q:為何抽濕機無法運轉或突然停止運轉？
本機可能處於水滿，或者水箱沒裝好狀態，倒掉水箱裏的
水，或者重新按照正確方式把水箱裝好即可。
可能此時處於“抽濕模式”環境溫度較低或較高 (當環境溫
度低於5℃或高於32℃將無法抽濕)。
Q:
為何送風口吹出熱風
?
機器的使用環境溫度為5-32℃，相對濕度30%-80%。最佳使
用溫度為16-32℃；
Q:
為何送風口吹出熱風
?
本機抽取室內的空氣，由抽濕單元將其冷卻，溫度降低到
凝露點以下，凝結成水滴，水滴最後落入水箱，經過抽濕
的空氣再由回溫單元升溫，這樣做能夠降低能耗，也加快
抽濕的速度，所以排出即為熱風，這並非故障。

安裝
運轉之前請將水箱中的水倒掉。
運轉中請儘量少開門窗，這樣做可以節省能源。
安裝抽濕機的時候， 務必在本機周圍留下一定的空間要
求上方最小50cm，前後左右最小20cm。如下圖。
本機在使用時發現噪音大時：
建議在本機 墊上墊子或減震橡膠板等
這樣可以減少
建議在本機
