Operating the Control Panel 

 

Use the 

 

Power button to turn the portable dehumidifier on and 

off. The LED i

ndicator next to “Power” will light up. By default when 

you first use the power button, the unit will begin to operate in 
normal fan speed mode.  
 
Note: If the unit was powered off, wait at least 3 minutes before 
powering it back on. 
 

Auto-Restart:

 

If power to the unit is interrupted, the dehumidifier 

will restart itself in with the last used mode/settings once the power 
is restored. The compressor will restart after 3 minutes. 
 

Auto-Shut Off:

 The unit will shut off when the set humidity has 

been reached, or when the water bucket is full, has been removed, 
or is not in its proper position. 
 
Continuous mode dehumidifies the air until the water bucket is full. 
Use the continuous mode for maximum dehumidification. You will 
not be able to use the set humidity buttons.  
 
To operate the unit in continuous mode: 
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet. 

2) Press the 

 

Power button. 

3) Press the 

 

Continuous button. The LED indicator next to 

“Continuous” will light up. 
4) Select the fan speed by using the 

 

Normal or 

 

High 

button. 
 
The dehumidifier has two fan speeds. Use the high fan speed for 
maximum moisture removal. Use the normal fan speed for quieter 
operation. 
 

Select the fan speed by using the 

 

Normal or 

 

High button. 

 
The desired humidity level can be set within a range of 35% 
Relative Humidity (RH) to 80% RH in 5% increments.  
 
To set the desired humidity level percentage:  
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet. 

2) Press the 

 Power button. Make sure the continuous light is 

turned off. 

3) Press the 

 Increase and 

 Decrease buttons to set the 

desired humidity level. After a few seconds, the LCD display will 
revert to the actual room humidity level with ±5% accuracy. For 

drier air use the 

 Decrease button.

temperature to the potential 
water content at that same 
temperature.
