4. You can also use the FAN SPEED button to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW. The indicator light will show the 
    setting you have selected. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

5. The CLEAN FILTER light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. At this time refer to the care and cleaning 
    section to remove and clean the filter. Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, simply press the FILTER button 
    to extinguish the light.

3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY      or     buttons to choose a value 
    between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the      or     buttons will change the 
    humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual 
    room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY        button 
    will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% increments until the display reads CO.
