UNIT OPERATION

When using the unit

 When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit

 continuously for 24 hours.

This unit is designed to operate in a working

environment between 5  C/41 F and 35  C/95 F.

If the unit has been switched off and needs to be 

switched on again , allow approximately three

 minutes for the unit to resume normally.

Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket 

outlet, which is also being used for other electrical 

appliances.

Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy 

access to an electrical outlet.

Plug the unit into a electrical socket-outlet with a

grounded connection.

Make sure the Water bucket is correctly fitted otherwise 

the unit will not operate properly.

NOTE:

When the water in the bucket reaches a certain 

level, please be careful to move the machine to avoid the

unit from tipping over.

Casters wheels(on the bottom of unit)
    

Casters wheels can move freely.

    Do not force casters to move over carpet, 

    nor move the unit with water in the bucket.

    (The unit may tip over and spill water.)

 A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed

 storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

Placing the unit

 Do not use outdoors.

 This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential 

 applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used

 for commercial or industrial applications.

 Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong

 enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

 Allow at least 7.9 in.  of air space on all sides of the unit

 for good air circulation.

 Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not

 fall below 5 C(41 F). The coils can become covered with 

 frost at temperatures below 5 C(41 F), which may reduce

 performance.

 Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator.

 Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books

 or valuables are stored.

 Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent 

  moisture damage.

 The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed

 area to be most effective.

 Close all doors, windows and other outside openings

 to the room.

Removing the collected water

1. Pull out the bucket a little.

2. Hold both sides of the bucket

    with even strength and pull it 

    out from the unit.

3. Pour the water out.

There are two ways to remove collected water.

1. Use the bucket

    

When the unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will 

     beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the 

     digital display shows P2.

     When the unit is on,if the bucket is full, the compressor 

     turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying

     the water of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8 

     times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital 

    display shows P2.

     Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right 

     handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so 

     water does not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor 

     because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise 

     the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.

     Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The 

     bucket must  be in place and securely seated  for the 

     dehumidifier to operate.

     The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored

     in its correct position.

NOTES:

    When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts 

     inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.

     Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the 

     unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to 

     push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.

     When you remove the bucket, if there is some water in

     the unit you must dry it.

UNIT OPERATION

2. Continuous draining

Water can be automatically emptied into a floor 

drain by attaching the unit with a water hose

(Id    5/16,not included))with a female threaded 

end (ID:M=1 , not included).

    

Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A (See Fig.7, 

    placed in the bucket).    

    Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of 

    the unit and set aside and remove bucket, then insert 

    the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and 

    securely press it into the connector on the front of the

    unit.(See.Fig.9)

    Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws 

    (placed in the bucket).

    Install the female threaded end of the water hose into 

    the adaptor A.(See.Fig.10), then lead the water hose

    to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.

    Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.

    Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that

    there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing.

    Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure

    the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow

    smoothly. Do not stop the flow.

    Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure 

    that it is placed correctly.

    Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed 

    on the unit for continuous draining to start.
