DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS

When the unit is 

fi

 rst connected to the electrical outlet, the power light will not light up until the “on/off” button is pressed. 

When the “on/off” button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidi

fi

 er automatically defaults to: 

Display: 

Current ambient room humidity (RH%)

Humidity Setting: 

40% RH

Fan Speed: 

High.

Note: 

Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidi

fi

 er may not start automatically 

under the default setting (this is an indication that the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower than the 
“default” setting of 40% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidi

fi

 er settings 

35%-55% until the “humidistat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.

Dehumidifying Mode Selection:

1.   The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
2a.  Press the   /   buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-85%).

                                                        OR

2b.  Press the 

continuous

 button. When 

continuous 

mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be by-passed and the

       compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.

Note: 

For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal 

for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity 
be set at 40-45%.

Fan Speed Selection:

3.   You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identi

fi

 ed by the (illuminated) 

       indicator light located directly above the selection made.

Your dehumidi

fi

 er features a removable Air Filter. This 

fi

 lter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) 

directly above the water tank compartment. The air 

fi

 lter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/

dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air 

fi

 lter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on 

operating ef

fi

 ciency. To maintain maximum operating ef

fi

 ciency, the 

fi

 lter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 

weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.

IMPORTANT: 

Never operate the unit without the air 

fi

 lter in place.

AIR FILTER REMOVAL:

1. Pull 

fi

 lter outwards. 

2. Clean 

the 

fi

 lter thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner or wash using  

lukewarm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before re-installing.

3.  To re-install the air 

fi

 lter, slide the 

fi

 lter back inside the tracks.
