Operating the Control Panel  

 

 
Use the Power button to turn the portable dehumidifier on and off. By 

default when you first use the power button, the unit will begin to operate 

in normal fan speed mode.  
 

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. 

 

The timer mode allows for continuous operation for a user defined set 
number of hours.   

 

To operate the unit in timer mode: 
 

1.

 

Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet. 

2.

 

Press the Power button. 

3.

 

Press the Timer button to activate the timer mode.  The Timer Mode 

indicator located above the Timer button will light up green. 

4.

 

Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to set the desired number of 
hours for the dehumidifier to run.  The timer can be set in increments of 

1 hour up to 24 hours.  The timer setting display will flash for 

approximately 10 seconds before reverting back to displaying the 
current temperature. 

5.

 

To cancel or turn off the timer setting, adjust the increments by using 
the Increase and Decrease buttons until 0 hours is shown on the 

display. 

 
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 pressing the Fan button until desired mode is 

illuminated 

 
The desired humidity level can be set within a range of 30% Relative 

Humidity (RH) to 90% 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.  

3.

 

Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to set the desired humidity 

level. After approximately 10 seconds, the LCD display will revert to the 
actual room humidity level with ±5% accuracy. For drier air use the 

Decrease button.
