Installation tips
1) Do not block or restrict the
airow around the unit. Make sure
the air inlet exhaust grills are not
obstructed. Allow 30cm of clearance
around the unit and 40cm above.
2) Place the unit in an area where
the temperature levels will not
fall bellow 5ºC (41ºF) There is a
possibility the coils will collect frost
at temperatures that are under
5ºC (41ºF), which may result in low
performance.
(Working conditions: 5°C-35°C,
30%RH–90%RH).
3) Ensure the lter is clean.
4) Place unit in vertical operating position and allow 2
hours before initial use in order to avoid malfunctions.
5) Before the initial operation, please check,
if the water level switch, located within the
water bucket area, is in the right position.

Operation as an dehumidier: When this operation is selected the indications
+ will appear on the digital display. The air purication indication will be slowly
ashing while the dehumidication indication will be continuously lit. Under this operation
both the compressor and the fan are operating together to reach the desired humidity
level. The humidity level of the room will appear on the digital display. Once the set
humidity is reached, the Energy Savings function is automatically activated during which
the unit will remain on standby (idle mode). After the predetermined timeframe in standby
mode, and if the humidity levels have increased, the device will resume dehumidication.
When the unit operates as an Air Purier & Dehumidier or Dehumidi-
er, Manual mode, Smart Dehumidication (SMD) mode, Sleep mode
and Dry Clothes mode can be selected.

A led indicator on the unit will change color depending on the humidity level inside the room.
The humidity sensor will detect the humidity level and the led indicator will change color based
on the humidity conditions.
• The blue led light indicates that the humidity level inside the room is below
55%.
• The yellow led light indicates the humidity level inside the room is between 56%
- 79%.

45% to 55%
MODE
By pressing the ‘’ ’’ button you can select between four dierent modes. The available
modes are: Manual mode , Smart Dehumidication (SMD) mode , Sleep mode and
Dry Clothes mode .
Manual mode
Under manual mode, the desired operating conditions can be adjusted.
• When the unit operates as an Air Purier the fan speed may be adjusted.
• When the unit operates as a Dehumidier & Purier or as a Dehumidier + both
the desired fan speed and humidity level can be adjusted. The digital display will indicate
ambient relative humidity levels.

When the Smart Dehumidication (SMD) mode is selected the unit will initiate the
dehumidication process in order to achieve the ideal living conditions inside the room,
depending on the existing temperature and humidity levels. The dehumidier will set the
humidity level between 45% to 55% according to the room's temperature thus ensuring
energy eciency and excellent room conditions.
Under the Smart Dehumidication (SMD) mode the humidity level cannot
be adjusted.
Sleep mode
Under sleep mode the device will silently operate with the fan at low speed. This mode can
be selected under all three operations of Comfort series.

13
EN
When sleep mode is activated and the device is operating as a
Dehumidier & Air Purier or as a Dehumidier, only the humidity
levels can be adjusted. The fan will remain at low speed.
Dry Clothes mode
When this mode is selected the humidity level cannot be adjusted and the fan will operate
only at high speed. After operating for approximately 2 hours the unit will check the
ambient humidity level. If the relative humidity is under 45% the dehumidication process
will stop, and the fan will continue operating for 2 hours to ensure the eective drying of
clothes. If the relative humidity is still under 45% the device will turn o.
• If the relative humidity is higher than 45% after the rst 2 hours of operation,
the device will keep operating for another 1 hour before testing again the
relative humidity. This process will repeat as many times needed to ensure the
complete drying of the clothes.
• The maximum operation time set by this mode is 12 hours and can be
reduced depending on the room size and the dampness of the clothes.
• If the water tank lls during the operation, before the 2 hours set time, the
device will keep counting from the moment of the water full tank indication.
• In the event of a power failure the unit will restart the drying clothes process
from the beginning.

the unit enters defrost mode for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes of defrosting, the sensor
checks temperature again. If temperature rises ≥2ºC, the unit exits defrost mode and defrost
indicator turns o.
• This function ensures the safe operation and the ecient performance of the device.
• When Auto Defrost mode is on, the device may cause some noise from
the refrigerant uids owing, that is normal.
• Do not turn o the device when auto defrost mode is on.
P2- FULL WATER TANK
When the water tank is full, removed or not
placed correctly, the indication P2 will appear on
the digital control panel followed by a beeping sound.
P3 - PRE-FILTER CLEAR NOTICE
When this indicator appears on the digital display it is a reminder that the pre-lter should be
removed and cleaned properly. This reminder will appear once 360 operational hours have been
completed. Rinse the pre lter with water and let it dry completely before replacing it on the unit.
After replacing the clean lter on the unit, long press for 3 seconds the
"" button to reset the notice. The device will then begin to recount the
360 working hours.
P4 - HEPA FILTER REPLACEMENT REMINDER
The HEPA FILTER replacement reminder will be activated on the digital panel of the device,
once 2160 operational hours have been completed.
• When this indication appears, the HEPA lter should be replaced with a new one.
• After the replacement of the HEPA lter, the " " button must be pressed continuously for
3 seconds for the timer to be reset and the indication to be removed.

AUTO-RESTART
The device memorizes the set operating conditions whenever power plug is connected. In
the event of a power failure the device performs Auto-Restart, once power is restored.
In case of power failure or when the power plug unplugged from the socket,
the unit will operate in default settings prior to disconnection.
After Auto-Restart the setting of “Timer” and of the child lock cannot
be retained.
Lo - Very Low Humidity
When the Room Humidity is ≤31%RH, this indication activates on the digital control panel of
the device.
• During this condition, the compressor stops and the fan keeps operating in the selected
settings.
• Once room humidity ≥32%RH detected, the compressor will resume its operation in the
previous settings.

9. PAIR THE DEHUMIDIFIER WITH THE INVENTOR
CONTROL APPLICATION
Before you start:
lVerify that the router is broadcasting at 2.4GHz.
lIf the router has dual band broadcasting, verify that the network names (SSIDs) are
dierent. For additional help, contact your router/internet provider.
lVerify that the Wi-Fi password is WPA2-PSK encrypted, and the authorization type is set
to AES.
lPosition the dehumidier as close as possible to the router during the pairing process.
Step 1: Download and install the “Inventor Control” application from the Google Play Store
or IOS App Store.
Step 2: Select “Register” to create a new
account or “Log in with Existing Account”
Notes:
Carefully read the Privacy Policy and
select “Agree” to continue.
To create an account, an email or a

Water automatically can be emptied into a oor drain by
attaching the unit with a water hose.
• Remove the rubber plug located opposite the unit.
Insert the water hose into the drain outlet and make sure
all connections are rmly tightened in order to avoid any
possible leaks.
• The dehumidier - air purier, should be placed on a at
surface in an upright position.
• Lead the water hose towards a suitable drainage facility
and be certain that the water ows naturally. For correct
drainage, make sure the hose stays below the level of the
drain hose outlet.
