this range may cause some undesired problem.
The unit will stop operation when power failure occurs, and return to standby mode after power
recovery. To ensure compressor life, do not operate within 3 minutes after switching off the unit.
Protection
Power off mildew prevention:
The product may run 3 minutes in fan mode after operation stopped (by manual or timer
settings) to dry its internal side for mildew prevention. Press Power off/on key when in this
mode to cancel this function.(P.S.1)
This function may not get enabled due to compressor operation time.
P.S.1 When compressor operates more than 10 minutes.
Mildew

Comfort The dehumidifier is used for daily life, such as the removal of unplesant humidity and laundry
drying. However, if ambient humidity is under 50 %, unit cannot help maintain a comfortable
humidity environment.
Avoid leaving any operating dehumidifier unattended.
Recommend to have a regular inspection on the dehumidifier by a Qualified Person.

To keep humidity at a comfortable level
Humidity sensor detects the ambient level
and keeps indoor humidity at the most
suitable level for human body. However, the
feeling of humidity varies from person to
person; the dehumidifying mode is available
for adjusting the humidity if needed.
The Dehumidifier operates during high
ambient humidity, and stops at low ambient
humidity.
Humidity level will be adjusted automatically
according to the indoor temperature.

make drying more effective.
2: Choose either “Up” or “Down” depending on how high the clothes are hanging and how high the closet is.
Tips for drying
effectively
Place the dehumidifier at a place that all clothes can be reached evenly.
Leave space between each item of clothing so that air can circulate freely.
Leave a distance of 40 cm or more between the dehumidifier and the clothes,
depending on the amount of clothes.

nanoeTM bacteriostasis and deodorization
The nanoeTM is generated from indoor air which
may fail to run successfully due to various
temperature and humidity conditions.
Generation conditions
Indoor temperature: 5°C~35°C with dew
temperature above 2°C.
Relative humidity: 30%~85%
Environment conditions for generation Little amount of ozone
Press to
select
nanoeTM (Laundry/Mode/Humidity)
To clean and deodorize during
operation
During "Laundry"
To refresh cloths, with deodorization and sterilization nanoeTM
function will be enabled automatically, The LED indicator lights
up and cannot be cleared manually. The system beeps if you
try to operate the "Purifying" button.
If sound set OFF, there is no beep.
In "Mode" and "Humidity"
The nanoeTM function may be switched on/off as desired.
About nanoeTM
The generation of nanoeTM ion may be
accompanied with little amount of ozone. It's far
less than ozone level existing in natural forest
and bears virtually no impact on human body.
In case of odor of ozone, disable the "cleaning
and deodorization" function.
nanoeTM
nanoeTM nano water ion (nanoeTM ion hereafter) is a charged clean water ion by separating water
molecules with high voltage. The nanoeTM ion technology features sterilization★※1, allergens inhibition※2,
fungi elimination※3and deodorization※4for skin healthy space.
Floating fungi: Results after 4 hours test in 25 cubic meter closed space instead of practical outcome in
daily life environment.
Adhering fungi: Results after 8 hours test in 23 cubic meter closed space instead of practical outcome
in daily life environment.
Deodorization effects vary with ambient environment (temperature, humidity), operation hours,
deodorization, type of fabrics.
Standalone test and practical use effectiveness may differ from each other due to conditions and use
method.
This device is not a medical equipment.

About ECONAVI
Select Normal along with Air (Auto, Hi, Mid, or Lo) to start the drying operation. The ECONAVI indicator,
auto stop indicator, and cloth humidity indicator light up during drying and off afterwards. (p.10)
Detect changes in temperature, humidity; run and auto stop operation according to amount of cloths and

Volume of
cloths
Test conditions: Temperature at 20°C;
humidity at 80%,
room size at 20 squre
meters (results as tested
by this company)
Actual operation time, power consumption, dehumidification
level may vary with conditions of environment, type, amount,
hanging pattern of cloths, room size.
To dry cloths with dehumidifier it's better to do it in space
small and well closed for less energy waste.
Operation stops after about 10 hours.
The filter contains super alleru-buster and antimicrobial agents to help inhibit allergens,
bacteria and fungi activity.
Antibacterial
May inhibit bacteria*3 and fungi*4 caught in filter.
*3 Test Institution: (fiscal) Japan Food Analysis Center.
Test Method: Use standard agar and agar plate culture method.
Test Results: Inhibit more than 99% bacteria.
*4 Test Institution: (fiscal) Japan Food Analysis Center.
Test Method: The anti-fungal test method (halo test method).
Test Results: Effective fungi resistance under the halo test method.
Filter may end up with peculiar odor of "Family health green tea extract". This is normal and bears no
harm to human body.
The filter changes light brown afterwards. Frequently used filter may end up with brown spots. This is
normal and does not hamper its performance.
Effectiveness of Filter
Super alleru-buster
Inhibit growth of allergens (e.g. pollen and dust) trapped in filter
Test Institution: Osaka Municipal Technical Research Institute
Test Method: Using enzyme immunoassays measurement methods for reduction of fine allergens material
Test Results: Allergen activity inhibited

This is the sound of refrigerant flowing within dehumidifier or nano-ion
generation and is not a failure.
Are the tank and float correctly installed inside the unit? (P.14, P.16)
Was the tank banged against the unit during insertion? (P.14)
→ Remove the tank and then reinstall it gently.

→ Avoid opening doors and windows while lanundry.
Is there other steam release equipment exists indoor?
Is machine body tilting?
→1. Disconnect the plug, lift machine body up straight and wipe waters
leaked
2. leave the machine idle for more than half a day (to dry the unit inside
completely in case any water has spilled inside)
3. connect the plug, run dehumidification again
Is machine body tilted too much?
→ Unplug the power plug and then reconnect it.
Is magnet or metal placed atop the machine? (P.7)
Is the Fan mode set?
→ Fan mode will not retain water.

Are the room temperature and humidity low? (The unit dehumidifies less as
the room temperature and humidity become lower.)
Is the unit set to operate in “Auto” or “Mild” mode? (P.8)
If the temperature is outside the range of 5 ˚C ~ 35 ˚C , dehumidifier
operation will stop and become blower operation. (P.7)
