Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the dehumidier seem
to collect less water in winter?
A. Are the temperature and humidity low?
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 effect of the dehumidifier is greatly
reduced as shown in the graph below.
Although only a little water collects in the tank, this is
not a malfunction.
Winter (dampness)
* If the temperature is low, but the humidity is high due
to snow or rain, operating the unit in LOW TEMP mode
will yield better results than in LOW mode. 14

What is a washable photocatalytic lter?
The washable photocatalytic filter is made from two
layers: a white particle filter and a blue air-freshener
filter.
<Particle filter>
The particle filter removes pollen* and dust
particles.
<Air-freshener filter>
The special air-freshening agent contained in
the fibres absorbs odorants such as ammonia.
The odorants are broken down by photocatalysis
constantly renewing the air-freshening properties.
As the filter’s particle and air-freshening properties
are renewed by simply soaking and leaving it to dry
in the sun, the filter can be used continuously over a
long time.
Cigarette smoke and toxins found in smoke, such as
carbon monoxide, cannot be removed with this filter.
* Diameter of pollen: approx. 10–100 μm
The water tank may contain water residue at time
of purchase. This is from final product testing at the
factory and is not due to a defect.

Things to Be Aware of
How does the dehumidier
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.
1 The unit draws air from the room, cools it
with its cooling coil, causing the moisture to
transform into water droplets.
2 The water droplets fall into the water tank.
3 The dehumidied 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.
Room temperature may rise 2-4°C
during operation
The dehumidier 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
airow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.

Information
zIf the room temperature falls below 15°C,
defrosting mode is activated once every 40
minutes (for about 5 minutes) causing water to
drain to the tank.
zThe unit can operate in a room temperature range of
1-35°C. However, if the room temperature exceeds
35°C, the unit may operate in blower mode or
increase the airflow. This is because the temperature
within the unit rises causing the protection mechanism
to operate. In order to lower the temperature within the
unit, when using the louvre, point UPWARD.

zLOW TEMP The unit operates continuously automatically controlling airflow 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. 9
When the temperature is low, condensation may still form on windows exposed to the outside air even when
LOW TEMP mode is operating.
Information
How is mildew
growth suppressed? Mildew is unable to produce new spores if dried as mycelia. The Mildew Guard feature
applies this principle. (However, the spores themselves are resilient to dry conditions.)
Information
zRefrain from turning on ventilation fans or opening windows or doors as this lowers performance.
zMildew 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).
zThis mode does not remove existing mildew.
zDo not use in conjunction with OFF Timer mode. Effects may not be achieved.
