Moisture is absorbed by the tiny holes of the
zeolite (a desiccant with high water
absorption ability), and dry air will be released.
The heater condensed the absorbed
moistures. Those moistures transform into
water droplets in the heat exchanger.
The water droplets will be then collected in the
water tank.

running. Depending on working conditions

During the rainy season or any periods with

Before Use
Positioning the dehumidifier
When using the unit
Maintain the following minimum distances
from walls and furniture.
Failure to do so will inhibit ventilation and
cause the unit to malfunction.
It is recommended to keep all windows and doors closed
when operating the dehumidifier.
●
Keep the unit at least 1m away from
television and radio.
(The dehumidifier may interfere the
receptions.)
Opening windows and doors can affect room temperature and humidity level.
It may then take longer time for dehumidification ( or drying clothes).
As the room humidity or temperature drops,
the dehumidifying power will automatically decrease.
●
Continue dehumidifying a room will decrease the humidity, causing
the unit to lower the dehumidifying power.
Do not knock over or tilt the unit.
●
If the unit falls over, immediately set it upright. ( Page 20)
Even when you dehumidify a room, condensation and mold may still form outside or in
places with poor ventilation such as behind furniture.

unit will switch to wind mode only. If the humidity is lower
than 20%, the safety circuit will automatically shut down and
the dehumidifier will turn off to prevent the unit from damaging.
If the unit is used in a room with odors caused by fresh
paint or wallpaper, new furniture or chemicals,
these odors may be suctioned in and emitted from the unit.

Poor ventilation can lead
to overheating and fire.
If the unit is positioned too close to a wall or furniture,
ventilation will be obstructed.

How to use
Taking care of the dehumidifier
Turn off the unit (press the POWER Off / On button),
Use water to rinse these parts 2 or 3 times.
Use a mild kitchen cleanser for
stubborn stains.
Be sure to put the tank lid, tank cap,
and buckles back on the tank.
Failure to do so may cause water to spill.
Do not remove the float.
If the float is off, the unit will not operate.
If the float is not attached properly,
water may leak.
If the float comes off
Place the float along two axes in the tank
lid (reverse side) and make sure that it is put
in correct direction. (See the figure above.)
Depending on where you use the
dehumidifier, the internal of the tank may
get especially dirty due to the dirt and
dust in the air.
Be sure to push the tank gently all the
way into the unit. (If not, the unit will not
operate.)
You can clean the slime without
removing the float.

The air intake and outlet get dirty easily.
You may clean the dust and dirt by using a vacuum cleaner.
If the air filter becomes clogged, dehumidifying power will decrease. This will waste of
electricity or even cause the unit to be malfunctioned.
Remove dirt and dust on the filter
using a vacuum cleaner with a
fine tipped nozzle.
Do not lay down the unit. (Doing so will cause water leakage.)
Do not splash water directly onto the main unit.
(Doing so may deteriorate the insulation and cause the unit to

FAQ
(FrequentlyAsked Questions)
Q (Question)
Clothes drying is
insufficient.
When hanging clothes to dry indoors, the evaporated humidity becomes
condensation that will be absorbed by carpet or cushion.
If your shoes get wet in the rain, use a dehumidifier to dry them
quickly for the next day.
When hanging clothes to dry naturally indoor, it takes a
long time to dry and results in odors due to the
accumulated bacteria on the clothes.
Has the clothes been thoroughly spun-dry, or just wrung out by hand?
Use the "Lo(Silent)" setting.

Is the dry air passing through all the clothes?
Also, is the clothes hung too close together or overlapped?
Are you using a heater nearby the unit?
If so, the humidity sensor will not accurately detect the humidity.
Use the "Hi(Dry Clothes)" setting once again for clothes that
has not dried completely.
Approximate 100 to 300ml of moisture are released from 1kg of clothes
every hour.This is the same as sprinkling about one cup of water
around your room.When hanging clothes to dry indoors, it is important
to use a dehumidifier to quickly remove humidity inside the room.
When it takes a long time for clothes to dry, the bacteria may be retained
and results in odors. In addition, when drying indoor, the damp clothes
absorbs the odors inside the room. Using dehumidifier can prevent from
these happening, as it dry your clothes quickly.
Before drying your shoes with a dehumidifier,
firstly blow them with "cold air" setting of a hair dryer
until no water is dripping. Then, place them on a
hanger and hang them above the dehumidifier.
Adjust the blowing angle so that the dry air is
directed onto the shoes.
(Do not use a dehumidifier on leather shoes.
Doing so may deform and affect the quality of the leather.)
