BEFORE USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Before using the dehumidifier, remove all packaging materials and the protective film on the dehumidifier
body. Place the unit vertically in a well-ventilated, indoor environment on a flat, sturdy surface.
• Make sure that there is at least 8” (20cm) on both sides and at the back of the dehumidifier for proper
circulation, and that no objects are blocking the vents.
• Check the moisture container at the bottom rear of the unit for proper installation.
• The dehumidifier works with thermoelectric technology. When the thermoelectric system is working, water
vapor in the air will go through a cooling sink in the unit and condense to water, which is collected in the
moisture container.
• To use the dehumidifier, place on a level surface and plug into a properly installed electrical outlet. Press
the Power button and the unit will begin working. A blue LED indicator on the Power button will light when
the unit is in operation.
• When the moisture container is full and needs to be emptied, an orange LED indicator on the Power button
will be lit.
• To turn the unit off, push the Power button. When you are not using the dehumidifier, unplug the cord from
the outlet and remove any water from the moisture container.
• When the moisture container is full, the orange LED on the power button will illuminate, indicating it the
container needs to be drained. Pull the moisture container out of the unit, remove the top lid, and pour out
the water in it. When re-installing, be sure that the white float valve is in the same position in the container
before putting back into the dehumidifier.
