(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.

3. Timer indicator
The timer indicator lights up with a green color while the timer is running.
4. Low fan speed indicator
The low fan speed indicator lights up with a green blue color when the device
is working in low fan speed.
5. High fan speed indicator
The high fan speed indicator lights up with a green color when the device is
working in high fan speed.
6. Drying clothes indicator
This indicator lights up with a green color when the drying clothes function is
on. At that mode, the compressor works continuously without the influence
of the room humidity. High fan speed is fixed and the humidity cannot be ad-
justed.
7. Normal mode indicator
This indicator lights up with a green color when normal dehumidifying function
is on. When you turn on the unit first time, the appliance will enter into normal
dehumidifying mode. At that mode, the default setting humidity is 60% and you
can set the desired humidity level and adjust the fan speed at your desired
speed.
8. Clean filter indicator
This indicator will light up with a red color and the unit buzzes for 20 times
when the accumulated running time has reached 600 hours in order to remind
the user to change the filter.
If you want to turn off this indicator, press the power button for 5 seconds, the

13
ENGLISH
indicator light will turn off.
10. Display
This display shows the following 3 functions:
• The indoor humidity when the power is on.
• The selected humidity data when you adjust humidity.
• The timer data when you set the timer on/off.
Button Operation
1. Power
Press this button to turn on the device. The device will start to work in the de-
fault mode (humidity setting is 60%RH and fan speed depends on the speed
set on last dehumidification mode). The compressor will start to work after the
fan has already worked for 3 seconds, the indicator will light up with a green
color.
If you want to turn off the device, press this button again. The display will show
“--” and the device will be in stand-by mode. The fan will turn off after 60 sec-
onds and the power indicator light and fan speed indicator light will turn off.
2. Timer button
Timer boot: press the Timer button to set up the auto- start time while the
device is on standby (you can choose between 1-24hours a cycle). The Timer
symbol will flash for 5 seconds. If no further operation is instructed, the device
will quit the setting mode automatically. LED will show the set time and the
countdown will start. The device will start dehumidification automatically when
the countdown ended. At that time, LED will show the humidity number instead
of the time.
Timer shutdown: Press the Timer button while the device is working to set
up the auto-stop time (you can choose between 1-24hours a cycle). LED will
show timing data and the Timer symbol will flash for 5 seconds. If no further
operation is instructed, the device will quit the setting mode automatically. LED

14
ENGLISH
will switch to humidity number and the countdown will start. When the count-
down ends, LED will show “--” and the machine will stop without making any
buzzing alert.
Note: Timer does not have a memory function. Please set up the timer manu-
ally every time.
3. button
Press this button to adjust humidity as following (the initial humidity is 60%).
You can set the humidity as you want; 20%-25%-30%-35%-40%-45%-50%-
55%-60%-65%-70%-75%-80%. The machine will stop automatically when the
indoor humidity is lower than the set humidity.
4. button
Press this button to adjust humidity (the default humidity is 60%). You can
reduce the humidity as you want; 80%-75%-70%-65%-60%-55%-50%-45%-
40%-35%-30%-25%-20%. The machine will stop automatically when the in-
door humidity is lower than the set humidity.
Note: When the humidity setting terminates, the display screen will show ambi-
ent humidity after flashing for 3 seconds. While in default mode, press
or button to show the setting of humidity. Press these two buttons
again to set humidity according to your preference. If you press button
continuously, you will see the current ambient temperature. After showing the
ambient temperature for 5 seconds, it will be back to indicating current humid-
ity automatically. While in clothes dry mode, if you press “Dry” button you will
cancel this mode and the device will automatically switch to ordinary mode.
Meanwhile the display screen will show setting humidity (the default setting is
60%), it will flash for 3 times and then it will get back to current humidity with-
out needing any adjustment from you. At this time, if the ambient humidity is
≥set humidity +3%, the compressor will start working (for example, if the set
humidity is 60%, the compressor will start working when the ambient humidity
reaches to 63% or more). If the ambient humidity is < set humidity -3%, the
compressor will stop working and the fan will keep running (for example when

15
ENGLISH
the ambient drops to 57% or less, the compressor will stop working).
5. Fan speed button
Press this button to choose low fan speed (sleep) or high fan speed (turbo).
6. Mode button
Press this button to choose normal or drying clothes mode.
WATER DRAINAGE
Water Tank
The water tank full indicator will light up with a red color when the water tank
is full. The warning will be given when the capacity of 5.5L has been reached.
Take out the water tank and empty the water. Put the water tank back into the
dehumidifier.
How to empty the water tank
1. Pull out both sides of the water tank as below.
Push the water tank at the back of the ma-
chine slightly; the water tank will be forced
to move out.

16
ENGLISH
2. Empty the water tank.
CAUTION
• Do not remove the float from the water tank; otherwise, the device will not
stop working when the water tank is full. Then the water will be overflowed
and possibly damage your floor.
• Drain the water tank completely when the water tank is full and reset your
setting.
• If the water tank is dirty, clean with cool or warm water. Do not use clean-
ers, steel wool, chemical rag dusters, gas oil, benzene, thinner or other
solvent to clean it because they will damage the water tank and lead to
leakage.
• When you put the water tank back to the unit, please use two hands to
push the water tank into the device to the correct position. Otherwise the
water full indication will still show red and the device will not work.

17
ENGLISH
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
1. Open the cover on the back of the dehumidifier.
2. Take out the water tank.
3. Insert a PVC pipe with inner diameter 9.5m and length 300mm (recom-
mended); put the other side of the pipe into a container, such as a bucket.
Steps:
1. Remove the plastic
part at this point of
the device.

18
ENGLISH
2. Insert the pipe into
the hole of the water
outlet port.
3. Put the drain-pipe to this specific lo-
cation with the other side of it into a
container.
Caution:
1. Never block the water outlet or the pipe.
2. Never bend the drainage pipe and always put it lower
than the outlet.
3. Always close the cover when there is no need for con-
tinuous drainage.
