●Empty the water tank, clean the tank and wipe
off excess water outside the tank.
●If water remains on the float, the automatic stop
function of the dehumidifier will not work
properly. So make sure to wipe away the water
from the float.
Put in the water tank.
(1) Make sure “Tank lid”fits securely in the outer of the tank.
(2) Put the water tank firmly into the unit until it touches
the back of the unit.
●Make sure to push the float in the
tank. Otherwise water might spill
in the unit or operation cannot
stop when the tank is filled up to
the limit. Do it carefully.
Fix the tank
lid firmly into
the ditch.
The lever of the
float must be put
over the tank lid.
The rotation must
be smooth.
How to detach and install the tank lid and
float
(1) Detach the tank lid gradually from the left or right
toward the opposite side.
(2) As shown in the diagram, push the float into the
“1”direction and remove it from the hole.
(3) Draw the float out in the “2”direction while push-
ing it as it is.
(4) When attaching it, install it properly into the origi-
nal position in reversing the procedures (“2”to “1”).
●At low temperatures, water may
freeze in the unit’s cooling sys-
tem instead of collecting in the
water tank. Note that this is not
a sign of failure.
Emptying the WaterTank
When taking out the water tank, the
front full tank green lamp will light up,
the FULL tank indicator on the liquid
crystal display will start to blink, and
the unit stops its operation.

Cautions when using the unit with continuous drainage
●This dehumidifier is for home use. If you use it with continuous drainage, make sure to have a thorough check
for the following at least once every two weeks: dirty front filter, clogging of water hose, and resumption of
operation after a power failure. This will help to ensure trouble-free operation.
●When a drain hose is to be used, make sure that the temperature around the hose does not fall below 0°C.
Water in the one might freeze causing undrained water to spill and wet household furniture or appliances.
To run the dehumidifier continuously it is necessary to have a suitable drainage point for accu-
mulated water.
Make sure to turn the unit off and then unplug it. Then proceed as follows.

●Do not take out the water tank immediately after operation has stopped to prevent water leakage.
●Move the unit by lifting it up when the floor is easily damaged or at a rugged place. Do not use
the caster on a thick-piled carpet. This can cause damage to the surface of the carpet.

Over-inclination
might cause dam-
age to the floor
and water to leak.
1Open a drain hose hole.
Remove the water tank. Using a screwdriver, punch a hole at the
drain hose hole located at the back of the unit. Smoothen the
edge of the hole with a hammer etc.
Insert the elbow joint into a hose (available
at hardware shop),
and insert the hose
through the drain
hose hole.
Remove the water tank. Insert
the hose through the drain hose
hole.
Insert elbow joint into the unit.
Insert the elbow joint into the drainage outlet of the unit all the way to the
joint base.
Re-install the water tank.
The unit does not operate without the water tank in place.
(The unit is turned off with water-brimmed direction device in the unit.)
Positioning of the
drainage hose for
continuous dehu-
midification
Do not place
power supply
cord between
the caster.
The hose
must be
below the
level of the
drainage
hole.
The end of the
hose should
not come in di-
rect contact
with water.
At least 10cm
To stop continuous drainage and return
the dehumidifier to its original state
Pull the hose towards you. Then remove the hose from
the continuous drainage outlet (The drainage outlet should
be sealed with sticky tape, or other suitable means.)
Do not bend
the hose.
Insert more
than 10mm
into hose.

Maintenance
●If water is allowed to splash on the unit, electrical insulation may be affected and corrosion of the unit may
eventually result.
●Use a neutral detergent (e.g. for dish washing) for cleaning.
●Do not use the following types of cleaning agents as they will damage plastic parts.
Thinners, benzine, alcohol, petrol, powder soap, powder polish, alkaline washing agents, hot water, acid
or scrubbing brushes.
●Do not scrub or expose the unit to chemically treated cloths for any prolonged period of time as this may
damage the surface of the unit.
Maintenance ●For safety purposes, turn off and unplug the unit
before carrying out any maintenance.
●For clean, sanitary and pro-long use, regular
maintenance is recommended.
Front filter
Make sure to clean the front filter once every two weeks. If the filter is clogged with fine dust, the
air flow rate will drop and dehumidification efficiency will be reduced.

Dehumidifying capacity (L/day)
Dehumidifying operation increases room
temperature.
The dehumidifier does not have a cooling function.
As the unit produces heat during operation, room tempera-
ture may actually increase by about 2°C to 5°C (depending
on the outdoor temperature and size of the room).
Dehumidification capacity will vary based
on room temperature and humidity.
Dehumidification capacity will increase as temperature rises (as
shown in the chart on the right).
