F. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. POWER ON/OFF BUTTON
CONTROL PANEL
2. MODE – Fan Speed Setting
This dehumidifier offers you 3 Modes for your selection. The indicator light will
illuminate when the unit is operating the selected mode.
When you plug in and switch on (1) the unit it will start-up in “NORMAL” mode.
Press “MODE” (2) button to select desired Speed.
Its path cycle is: NORMAL →QUIET →POWERFUL
NORMAL – Automatic operation for a comfortable humidity between
50%~60%RH
QUIET – Quiet operation with low fan speed, ideal for nighttime use.
POWERFUL – Operation with full fan speed for maximum performance, ideal
for use in laundry rooms.
When you restart the appliance it will continue to operate in last selected mode,
unless unplugged from the mains socket.
NB. Please note when your unit is switched off using the control panel
the fan will continue to operate for a short period to cool the heating
element. DO NOT unplug from the mains until the fan is turned off.
3. TIMER
Press TIMER button to set the unit to run for desired amount of hours before
switching off. You can only set the unit to switch off from running; you cannot
delay the start time. You can set the unit to run for 2, 4 or 8 hours
If the timer is not set (no timer indicator on), the unit will continuously run until
the water tank is full or preset humidity is achieved.

4. IONISER
Press this button to turn the Ion generator ON and OFF. When the LED light is
on, the appliance will release negative ions from the air outlet.
Negative Ions are beneficial in removing dust, pollen, bacteria, mildew and pet
dander etc., from the atmosphere, thus improving indoor air quality.
5. AUTO SWING
When operational the louvre will be open in the upward direction. Pressing the
AUTO-SWING button (5) and the oscillating louvre will swing up and down.
Pressing the AUTO-SWING again will stop the louvre at your desired position.

Switch off the unit and unplug from the mains power socket. Empty the water
tank and refit the tank into the correct position.
NOTE:
This unit is equipped with a safety tip-over switch. If the unit is tipped
over it will automatically switch off.
7. ENERGY SAVING SAFETY FEATURE
After 12-hours of continuous operation the heater element will reduce power
from 620watts to 390watts. This is normal for this type of equipment and the
logic circuit will control the operation between the two operating parameters for
best performance.
G. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
In Certain situations it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous
drainage. A hose with an inner diameter of approximately 10-10.5mm is
required (not supplied). A typical reinforced section of a garden hose would be
suitable.
Cut out the outlet at the back of the unit (Fig 1) and push
through the hose you have purchased (Fig 2).
1. Pull out the water tank and remove the rubber
bung from the water outlet at the back of the
water tank. Pull through the hose and connect
to the outlet on the tank. Retain the rubber
bung for future use.
2. Push the tank back into the unit ensuring the hose stays connected to the
outlet.
If you wish to revert back to draining into the tank, when the unit is
switched off and unplugged, simply remove the drainage hose. Pull out
the tank and replace the rubber bung in the water outlet and push the
water tank securely into place.
NB. Please note that this appliance uses a gravity drain when on continuous
drain. The hose must be directed in a downward position.

1. Gently pull out the water tank and lift
it by the handle.
2. Open the sliding cover on the top
left hand side of the tank cover.
3. Pour the water out. Clean the tank
with water. A mild detergent can be
used if necessary.

back the handle into its original
position.
5. Refit the water tank into the
appliance.

• Clean the air filter every two weeks. If
dust and dirt are allowed to
accumulate on the filter, this will
impair the performance.

attachment. If the filter is very dirty, it
may be washed with a mild detergent
in warm water.
NOTE: Ensure that the filter is dry before replacing. Never operate the
unit without a filter, as this will reduce the efficiency of the unit.
