Why does the dehumidifier seem
to collect less water in winter?
A.When the temperature and humidity are
low, the amount of water collected is
decreased.
In winter, because the temperature is lower than in
summer, the effects of the dehumidifier decrease
dramatically as shown in the graph below.
Although less water collects in the tank, this is not
a malfunction.
• Why doesn’t the dehumidifier operate?
•
Why does the unit stop operating suddenly?
A.The unit might be in INTELLIGENT
LAUNDRY mode.
The unit may sometimes stop operation after just a
short amount of time as a result of conditions
such as the room temperature and humidity.
A. The unit might be in EASY DEHUMIDIFYING,
MILDEW GUARD, or AUTO mode.
The unit automatically switches between
dehumidifying, airflow only, and non-operation.

Recognizing the antioxidant qualities of natural herbs,
we put the oil extracted from rosemary, which has
exceptional antioxidant qualities, into the air outlet
cartridge. The fragrance is so slight that it can be hardly
noticed.
The reason washing yellows is because colourless
organic material trapped within the fibres is oxidized by
heat from a drier or the sun’s UV rays. By using the
dehumidifier and drying your washing indoors, you can
keep away the oxidizing effects of heat and UV rays, as
well as benefit from rosemary’s antioxidant properties,
preventing your clothes from yellowing.
What is a silver ion filter?
The silver ion filter has a two-layer construction
consisting of a white particle filter and a blue air-
freshener filter.
<Particle filter>
The fine particle filter removes pollen* and dust
particles.
* Diameter of pollen: approx. 10-100µm
<Silver ion filter>
A special deodorant and anti-bacterial agent (anti-
allergen, anti-virus and sterilization) are contained in
the fibres of the silver ion filter.
Cigarette smoke and toxins found in smoke, such as
carbon monoxide, cannot be removed with this filter.

Room temperature may rise
2-4°C during operation
The dehumidifier does not have a cooler function.
Due to heat produced during operation, the room
temperature may rise 2-4°C. As a result, the unit
may blow warm air, but this is not due to a
malfunction.During winter, the air may not feel warm
as the temperature is below body temperature.
The humidity reading on the
unit may differ from a
hygrometer in the same room
Even in the same room, temperature and humidity
levels may differ from place to place. If the
hygrometer and the unit are in different parts of the
room, the humidity levels are prone to differ.
Moreover, humidity levels differ between places
that have good and no airflow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.
Things to be aware of Before using your
How does the dehumidifier
work?
If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around
it becomes cold, causing water droplets to form
on the surface of the cup.
The dehumidifier takes advantage of this
phenomenon to remove moisture from the air.
1The unit draws air from the room, cools it with
its cooling coil, causing the moisture to
transform into water droplets.
2The water droplets fall into the water tank.
3The dehumidified air is reheated by the
heating coil, and then discharged.
The humidity of the room is thus reduced by
repeating steps 1, 2, and 3.

Operating
¡EASY DEHUMIDIFYING
The unit operates intermittently
controlling the airflow to remove the
damp feeling in the air. (There is no need
to set the humidity level.)
When the room temperature is high, the
blower operates to decrease the damp
feeling.
The airflow or louvre operation may stop
according to the humidity level.
Easy Operation
The unit automatically monitors room temperature/humidity alleviating the necessity to make minor adjustments. Use
EASY DEHUMIDIFYING for dehumidifying a room and INTELLIGENT LAUNDRY for drying clothes.
Press
Changes with
every press
¡Selected mode lamp lights
¡INTELLIGENT LAUNDRY
The unit controls the airflow rate while
monitoring the humidity in the room, and
automatically stops operation when the
laundry is dry. (This eliminates the need
to make minor changes to the humidity
and operating time settings depending
on the amount of laundry.) Operation is
performed for a maximum of
approximately 12 hours.
∞Drain the tank before use.
The unit may stop before the laundry dries
because of a full tank.
∞ Do not use in conjunction with the OFF timer.
The timer may turn the unit off before the
laundry dries.
∞If the room temperature is approximately
5°C or less, the operation stops for around
1 hour.
If the room temperature is low, it becomes
difficult for water to evaporate from the laundry,
because the humidity does not change. Use a
heater in combination with the unit in order to
raise the room temperature to approximately
16°C or more.
∞The following conditions prevent clothes
from drying well:
Room temperature below 15°C, large volume
of laundry; laundry not spaced well; clothes of
thick fabric and spacious room.

according to room temperature. The air flow is strongest below 15°C.
The use of LOW TEMP mode is recommended when the Low
temperature indicator is lit.
When the temperature is low, condensation may still form on windows exposed to the
outside air even when LOW TEMP mode is operating.
¡ MILDEW GUARD The unit lowers humidity levels automatically once a day, suppressing
mildew growth.
¡The unit operates intermittently for 2-4 hours a day (24 hours).
The operating time varies depending on the humidity.
¡The unit continues to operate when the humidity does
not decrease.
•Humidity 40%→Approx. 2 hours
•Humidity 50%→Approx. 4 hours
∞Refrain from turning on ventilation fans or opening windows or doors as this lowers performance.
∞Mildew growth may still occur due to the fungus type and conditions of the room.
E.g. Rooms that contain excessive condensation, bathrooms, and places with bad airflow (insides of
closets and behind furniture).
∞This mode does not remove existing mildew.
∞Do not use in conjunction with OFF Timer mode. Effects may not be achieved.

How is mildew Mildew is unable to produce new spores if dried as mycelia. The Mildew
growth suppressed? Guard feature applies this principle. (However, the spores themselves are
resilient to dry conditions.)
