dehumidifying the air by using this principle.
During operation of the system, air will pass through evaporator and condenser in turn and then be discharged due to centrifugal
blade. When the air is passing through evaporator, refrigerant will absorb the heat in air to let its temperature decrease to the
temperature point of dew, water vapor in air will condensate. Condensate water comes into water tank through water tray, or is
discharged directly through drainage hose. The saturated low-temperature air passed through the evaporator will absorb the heat

compressor stays at stop status, and it will operate according to condition “b”; If it’s this condition when turning on the unit,
compressor will stay at stop status and the fan operates at set fan speed.
3. Clothes-drying mode
After entering into clothes-drying mode, compressor is turned on and the fan operates at high fan speed. Humidity and fan
speed buttons are invalid. Fan speed won’t be displayed. When the complete unit operates for above 8 hours under
clothes-drying mode (when there’s malfunction for temperature sensor or humidity sensor, stop 8hours for time count; time
will
be counted after eliminating malfunction) or stops operation for protection after reaching to temperature point, the unit will
operate as below:

turning on the unit, compressor will stay at stop status, and the fan will operate at high fan speed for 3min and then stop
operation.
When turning on the unit again or switch to clothes-drying mode again, the unit will operate under clothes-drying mode
again.
4. Dehumidify under quiet mode
The fan operates at low fan speed and the fan speed is invalid. Fan speed won’t be displayed. The other operation
condition is

enough, please get the specialized power cord or con-
nection wire from the manufacture or distributor. Prohibit
prolong the wire by yourself.

tion if it is burnt down; don’t replace it with a cooper wire
or conducting wire.
8. Use the power supply with same voltage and frequen-
cy as shown in rating label.
9. Do not pull out the power plug when the unit is operat-
ing to avoid damaging the circuit.
'RQRWSODFHDQ\WKLQJDWWKHWRSRIGHKXPLGL¿HUHQ-
sure the air outlet or air inlet is not blocked; do not use
the unit near wall and curtain.
11. Do not use heating equipment around the unit.
1. Avoid contact between refrigerant and fire as it
generates poisonous gas. Recycle the refrigerant
inside the unit completely before welding pipes.
2. Apply specified refrigerant only. Never have it
mixed with any other refrigerant. Never have air
remain in the refrigerant line as it may lead to rupture
or other hazards.
3.If refrigerant is leaking seriously, it may cause
suffocation or explosion. When using the combustible
refrigerant, please put the unit at ventilated place.
4. Never touch the refrigerant piping or compressor
without wearing glove to avoid scald or frostbite.
