and is available worldwide. This refrigerant is
tasteless and combustible, moreover, it can
burn and explode under certain condition.
Special precautions must be taken into
consideration before using and maintenance
of this appliance due to the coolant's high
flammability: so please read this user manual
carefully before using and maintenance.

WATER TANK INDICATOR
When the water tank is full for 5 seconds, the indicator light shows red,
the buzzer will warn for 15 times and the unit stops automatically. At this time,
empty the water tank and put it back to correct position.
EMPTY THE TANK
●Grab the notch at the bottom of the tank and pull it out with both hands.
Take it slowly and steadily in case of spilled water.
●Empty the water.
●Put the water tank back in position. The dehumidifier automatically starts
working again.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTIONS
1. Do not remove the float in the water tank, otherwise, the machine cannot
start work or power on

16
ENGLISH
2. If the water tank is dirty, clean by cool water or warm water, cannot use
cleaner, steel wool, chemical rag duster, gas oil, benzene, thinner or other
solvent to clean it, otherwise, it would damage the water tank and lead to
leakage.
3. When you place the water tank back into place, please use two hands to
push the water tank into the machine and force to the right position. If you do
not place the water tank in the right position, the machine would not power
on or start.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
This dehumidifier has a continuous drainage hole which used to be connected
by a plastic tube (inside diameter is 9mm), then the dehumidification water can
be continuous drainage.
●Take out the water tank
Take out the water tank

17
ENGLISH
●Use a water hose(diameter=9.5mm) to connect the water outlet.
●Passes the water hose through the cutting hole in the tank and put the tank
back.
For continuous drainage, the end of the hose should not be submerged in wa-
ter to prevent it from being blocked or damaged.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The unit must be regularly cleaned to prolong its life and keep it functioning
properly.
Warning: Before performing any cleaning, turn off the unit and unplug it to
avoid electrical shocks.
Do not use hot water or chemical solvents for cleaning.
1. Regularly, clean the Water Tank and its cover with cold or warm water and
dry with a soft cloth to avoid any mildew.
2. Clean the surface of the unit using a moist cloth. Do not use detergents or
abrasive sponges that can cause damage to the plastic surface.
3. Clean the Washable Air Filter as described in the following section.

18
ENGLISH
WASHABLE AIR FILTER
There is a Washable Air Filter on the rear of the unit (see Overview diagram)
that must be removed and cleaned regularly.
Caution: Do not use hot water or chemical solvents for cleaning.
• If there is only a little dust, you may use a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner
to remove the dust.
• If the air filter is dirty, you can wash it in warm water (temperature < 40°C).
• To avoid deformation, let the filter air dry, away from any heated surfaces.
2 IN 1 FILTER ACTIVE CARBON + ION
This filter is not washable and should be replaced every 3 months.
Note: Removing the Active Carbon+ Ion Filter reduces the air-filtering ability
of the unit but does not affect any other functionality. The unit is fully functional
without the Active Carbon + Ion Filter.

ENGLISH
Storage
If the dehumidifier will not be used for an extended period:
1. Drain the water tank completely and make sure no more water stocked
inside.
2. Unplug the unit and fold up the power supply cord.
3. Remove and clean the air filter, allow it to dry completely and reinstall it.
4. Store the dehumidifier in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, ex-
treme temperature and excessive dust.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. OPERATION TEMPERATURE
Please check if the ambient temperature is very low or very high (when opera-
tion temperature is lower than 5℃or higher than 35℃, the unit will not work).
When the ambient temperature is ≤16°C, the compressor automatically de-
frosts at regular intervals. During defrosting, the compressor stops and the fan
continues to operate.
2.BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before contacting professional service, please review the trouble shooting list
that includes common occurrences that are not the result of a defect in work-
manship or materials.
