This product is using the Environment
friendly refrigerant R290. R290 has no
damaging influence on the ozone layer
(ODP), a negligible greenhouse effect (GWP)
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.
SYMBOLS FROM THE UNIT AND USER MANUAL
This unit uses a flammable refrigerant gas.
If refrigerant gas leaks and comes in contact
to fire or heating part, it will be created harmful
gas and there is risk of fire.
Read the USER MANUAL carefully before op-
eration and maintenance.
Further information is available in the USER
MANUAL and the SERVICE MANUAL.
Service personnel are required to carefully
read the USER and SERVICE MANUAL before
operation and maintenance.
Additional warning for appliance with R290 refrigerant gas
(refer to the rating plate for the type of refrigerant gas used).
R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental
directives.

• To avoid any damage, place the unit in an upright position for
at least 24 hours before initiation.
• Make sure that the air outlet and air inlet are never blocked.
• Only operate the unit on a horizontal surface to ensure no wa-
ter leaks out.
• After removing the packaging, make sure that the appliance is
in good condition.

confirmed. In timer on state the button lamp on the Timer button is normally
on, and the set time is displayed on control panel.
AUTO mode
• Select AUTO mode, if the room humidity is high than the set humidity or
is between +5% or -5% of the set humidity, the compressor will starts and
the fan will run at the set speed. If the room humidity is lower than the set
humidity by -5%, then the compressor will stop but the fan will run at the set
speed. The default set humidity value is 50%.
CONTINUOUS mode

DRAINAGE
1. Use of water tank
When the water tank is full of water, the full water icon on LCD flashes (the
compressor, fan will stop running), the buzzer will warn for 10 times and the
unit stops automatically. At this time, empty the water
tank and put it back to correct position.
• Place both hands respectively at the side of the back
cover side, gently remove the water tank. Turn the wa-
ter tank handle upright, remove the water tank cover,
and pour the water out.
• Close the tank cover and rotating water tank handle
down, then place the water tank gently and put it back
in the right place to restart unit working.

16
ENGLISH
Attention: when the water tank is full of water, please empty it. Before putting
the water tank into the dehumidifier, please confirm whether the floater rotates
flexibly or not and then push it in position with both hands.
2. Continuous drainage
If you do not want to drain water in the water tank frequently, you can connect a
drainage pipe (with inner diameter 9mm) on the bback
of this dehumidifier to drain water.
• Locate the drain outlet at the back, unscrew the drain
cover, and pull out the water plug.
• Connect the 9.0mm drainage pipe to the drain outlet.
Attention: The external water pipe must not be too long (the recommended
length is less than 0.6 meters). The height of the end of the water pipe must be
more than 10cm lower than the height of the water outlet. The water pipe must
be kept smooth, otherwise the water may not be drained normally.

17
ENGLISH
MAINTENANCE
Precautions:
• Place disconnect power supply before maintenance or repair to prevent elec-
tric shock.
• If the dehumidifier is not used for lonng time, please disonnect poer supply.
• Please do not clean the dehumidifier body with chemical solvents such as
alcohol, gasoline and benzene.
• Please clean the water tank and its cover with soft cloth
dipped in cold or warm water at regular time to prevent mould
inside the dehumidifier.
• Wipe the surface of the dehumidifier slightly with wet cloth,
and do not use detergent or abrasive that can cause dam-
age to the plastic surface.
• Clean the filter and the frame at least once per two weeks
simply with cold or warm water, do not use chemical solvents
or hot water.
