avoid the build up of bacteria. The tank has a floating ball water level warning light and must
be placed in the right position. The dehumidifier will not work until the light turns off.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Dehumidifie 『 does not work:
- Is dehumidifier plugged in?
- Check the water tank is in the correct position.
- Check the water tank is not full (empty if required) and that float ball is in correct position.
The pipe is frozen:
-The dehumidifier has a defrosting function. The fan keeps working after the compressor
stops working. This will solve the problem of a frozen pipe. When the defrosting device
reaches room temperature, the dehumidifier will resume operation.
The dehumidifier runs as soon as it is switched on:
-Check if the dehumidifier is defrosting. After defrosting the dehumidifier will restart
automatically after defrosting
10

Dehumidifying capacity is too weak:
-Check the filter net is not blocked – remove and clean as per instructions if blocked
-Dehumidifying capacity will be weaker if the temperature and humidity levels are too low
-Check if air inlet is blocked- clean
Expected humidity takes long to be reached:
-Check whether doors and windows are open
-Check if anything is producing vapour
-Check whether the volume of the room is too large
Dehumidifier is noisy:
Check if surface it is placed on the smooth
Power light is on:
-Humidity sensor and/or temperature sensor broken or loose -please contact us.
