When the defrosting function is activated, the dehumidifying and air-cleaning functions will
not operate.
During the defrosting function, do not turn off or unplug the appliance.
Note: This dehumidifier is not designed for maintaining a very low humidity level (50% or
less). Its purpose is to reduce uncomfortable humidity levels in daily living environments and
assist in drying washed clothes indoors.
Room temperature rises during use
This appliance does not have a cooling function. It produces heat during its use - the room
temperature will rise by 1-4°C. The temperature will rise higher if used in a closet or anything
similar. Room temperature will rise due to doors and windows being closed and other
appliances producing heat.

Emptying water from the tank
1. Remove the tank from the dehumidifier.
2. Hold the tank by the handle and carry it gently.
3. Tilt the tank in the direction shown. Slowly empty the
water out of the tank.
4. Place the tank in the dehumidifier.
After the dehumidifying operation, water is
collected in the tank. When the tank is full, the
dehumidifier stops operating and the buzzer
will sound.
The buzzer sounds for 20 seconds if the tank
is taken out during use.
For continuous drainage, see page 12.
For timer Operation

Press the 'TIMER' button to activate the timer function. The 'TIMER' indicator light will be on.
Before programming the timer, ensure the function is not already activated (the indicator light
should be off).
There are two available programmes:
a) Delayed power-off function (while the appliance is operating):
• The appliance will automatically stop once the set time is reached.
• Press the 'TIMER' button to set the desired time (ranging from 0-24 hours).
b) Delayed power-on function:
• The appliance will start once the set time is reached.
• Press the 'TIMER' button to set the desired time (ranging from 0-24 hours).
NOTE: The 'TIMER' light is on while programming the timer. Once the time reaches the set

Keep the cord away from doors and similar areas to avoid
damage.
Keep small children away from the appliance.
Stop operating
Press again.
The 'mode select' indicator will turn off and the unit will stop operating.
Buzzer
Whenever any button is pressed, the buzzer will sound.
Ensure that one of the flaps is fully opened during operation. If the flap is
not opened completely, the overheat prevention device will activate - the
unit will stop operating.
After plugging in the unit or restarting it immediately after stopping, the
dehumidifying operation will start after approximately three minutes due
to the machine's protective function.
In the event of a power failure, the unit will automatically resume
operating in the mode it was in before the power failure.
The efficiency of the dehumidifier is affected by the air quality outside the
room. To maximise efficiency, try to avoid frequently opening and closing
the windows and doors.
To ensure proper performance, operate the dehumidifier within the usable
operating temperature range. For safety reasons, the dehumidifying
operation will automatically stop and switch to air cleaning mode if the
ambient temperature exceeds 32°C, When the operation starts, the
circulation of the refrigerant may cause some sound within the
dehumidifier. However, once the circulation stabilises, the sound will be
reduced

Nothing is wrong with your dehumidifier in case of the following
phenomena
Phenomenon Reason
Operation stops occasionally
Dehumidified volume is small
The unit is defrosting (See the page 5).
The dehimidifier's volume decreases when the room
temperature is low (see page 6). The unit stops
operating when the room temperature falls below a
certain threshold. In 'Automatic' mode, the unit stops
dehumidying, then the room humididty drops to 60% or
lower (refer to page 5).
The humidity in a room is still
high
The room size may be too large. (see the page 5).
The doors or the windows of the room may be opened
and /or closed frequently. (See the page 5)
The dehumidifier is used together with a kerosene
heater which emits vapour.
Smell is emitted from the walls furniture or other
objects.
Circulation of the refrigerant may make a sound until
the unit is stable.
The water is left because the unit is subjected to
dehumidifying tests in the factory.
The buzzer sounds when the tank is full of water (see
the page11).
Bad smell during operation
Sound is produced within the
unit
Water is left in the water tank
The buzzer sounds
Caution: Refrigerant is required to be filled by the manufacturer, the factory or the seller.
