• Keep the air inlet and outlet free from obstructions.
Failure to do this could result in poor performance or malfunction.
• Do not cover the power cord with a mat etc.
If heavy objects are placed on the mat, the power cord underneath could be damaged, caus-
ing fire or electric shock.
• Do not place combustion appliances directly in the path of the dehumidifier’s airway.
Doing so could result in incomplete combustion or deformation by heat.
• Keep the product away from fire.
Failure to do this could result in fire.
• Do not use the product in places where it could be splashed by water.
Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert fingers, sticks etc. into the air inlet or outlet.
You could be injured by the high-speed fan.
• Only qualified personnel may clean the internal parts. Do not use corrosive detergents.
Doing so could result in product malfunction, fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
When installing the dehumidifier
• Do not use the product for purposes other than its intended use.
This product is not designed for preserving precision instruments, tableware or art works. The
quality of the items you are trying to preserve could deteriorate.
• Ventilate frequently.
Keep the area well ventilated, especially if you are using a combustion appliance as well. Inad-
equate ventilation reduces the oxygen level in the air.
• Always hold the plug head when pulling the power plug.
Failure to do so could result in electric shock or injury.
• Do not use excessive force when pulling the extension hose.
Doing so could result in damage to or deformation of the hose.
• Do not use the product in places where chemicals are used.
Chemicals and solvents dissolved in the air in places such as hospitals, factories, laboratories
and hair salons could cause the product to become deformed, causing the dehumidified water
to leak and wet nearby household items, equipment etc.
• Turn off the dehumidifier and pull out the power plug before cleaning.
If you do not do this, you could be injured by the high-speed fan.
• DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter.
Using the product without a filter could result in a reduced product lifespan, electric shock or
injury. 10 cm or longer
When using the dehumidifier
• Do not use the product for preserving animals/plants, precision instruments, art works etc.
You could be injured due to falling etc.
• Do not place vases or water jars on the dehumidifier.
If the water flows into the dehumidifier, it could result in fire or electric shock.

• Turn off the dehumidifier and empty the water tank before moving the dehumidifier.
The water could overflow from the tank, wetting household items or causing fire or electric
shock.
• Pull out the power plug if you will not be using the product for an extended period.
Failure to do this could result in product malfunction or fire.
• Do not use the product in a very small space such as a closet.
Poor ventilation could result in overheating or fire.
• Do not use wax, thinner or a strong detergent when cleaning. Wipe the product using a soft
cloth.
Using inappropriate cleaning products could cause the product to become discolored or de-
velop surface flaws.
• Do not use the product in direct sunlight or rain.
The product could overheat, causing fire or electric shock.
• Do not touch the product with wet hands.
Doing so could result in electric shock. Position the product on a firm, stable surface.
• If the product is on an unstable surface, it may vibrate and make noise.
If the product is tilted or laid down, the dehumidified water could overflow and the product
could malfunction.
• Do not keep the power cord tied up when using the product.
The power cord could overheat, resulting in fire.
• Do not spray foreign substances or water into the sensor hole.

6QUICK START
ENGLISH
Dehumidifier efficiency varies depending on room temperature
and relative humidity
• A lower temperature and lower relative humidity will reduce the moisture removal rate.
• The compressor operates in dehumidification mode only when the set humidity is lower than
the room humidity.
The operating temperature is 5°C to 32°C.
• The dehumidifier cannot be used at 1°C or below because the dehumidified water could freeze.
• At 32°C or higher, the dehumidifier may stop running automatically to protect itself from over-
heating.
The room temperature increases while the dehumidifier is run-
ning.
• This dehumidifier does not have temperature control functions.
• The dehumidifier generates heat while operating, raising the room temperature by about 2°C or
3°C depending on the usage conditions (room air pressure and room size).
The dehumidifier can be restarted after three minutes.
• If you attempt to restart the dehumidifier immediately after stopping it, the compressor will
start running again after about three minutes for product safety reasons.

About Condensation
Condensation refers to the formation of dew
on windows, ceilings etc. at low temperatures
and high humidity.
• Using the product for the first time
Some water may remain in the water tank
from the product inspection process at the
factory. This is normal
• When emptying the water
- Pull the water tank carefully with both
hands. The water could overflow if you pull
the water tank with excessive force.
- Remove the water tank only when the de-
humidifier is not operating or when the
Tank Full indicator is lit. If the water tank is
removed while the dehumidifier is running,
the compressor stops, the fan continues to
run for about three minutes to evaporate
the residual condensate in the heat ex-
changer and then the Tank Full indicator
lights up and the dehumidifier stops.

10 BEFORE USING THE PRODUSCT
ENGLISH
Use the product at temperatures of
5°C to 32°C.
- The dehumidifier cannot be used at 1°C or
below because the dehumidified water could
freeze.
- At 32°C or higher, the compressor may stop
running automatically to protect itself from
overheating.
Wait three minutes before restarting
If you restart the dehumidifier immediately
after stopping it, the dehumidifier starts run-
ning about three minutes later to protect the
compressor.
- The dehumidifier makes a noise for the first
second or two of operation as the compres-
sor starts running.
- If the room humidity is lower than the set hu-
midity in Auto Dehumidifying mode or if you
are using Air purifying mode, the dehumidi-
fier is quiet because the compressor is not
running.
The room temperature can increase
by about 2 to 3°C while the dehu-
midifier is running.
This dehumidifier does not include air-condi-
tioning functions. In fact, it generates heat
while running.
Pull the power plug out of the wall
outlet if you will not be using the
product for a long period of time.
Keep the product at least 30cm
away from walls etc.
-Poor ventilation results in lower dehumidifier
efficiency.
