The defrosting operation is
performed when the room
temperature falls to 15°C or less.
In all modes, the defrosting operation is performed
automatically when the room temperature falls to 15°C or less.
Approximately once every 40 minutes at its most frequent,
indicates and airfl ow (dehumidifying) stops automatically,
and then the frost that has accumulated inside the unit will be
melted and dropped into the tank.
Please wait a moment as operation will resume in around 5 minutes.
z
Room temperature may rise
2-4°C during operation.
The dehumidifi er does not have a cooler function. Due to
heat produced during operation, the room temperature
may rise 2-4°C. As a result, the unit may blow warm air,
but this is not due to a malfunction. (During winter, the
air may not feel warm as the temperature is below body
temperature.)
z
The humidity reading on the unit
may differ from a hygrometer in
the same room.
Even in the same room, temperature and humidity levels
may differ from place to place. If the hygrometer and the
unit are in different parts of the room, the humidity levels
are prone to differ. Moreover, humidity levels differ between
places that have good and no airfl ow.
Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.
z
The unit can operate in a room
temperature range of 1-35°C.
However, if the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the unit may
operate in blower mode or increase the airfl ow. This is because
the temperature within the unit rises causing the protection
mechanism to operate. In order to lower the internal temperature
of the unit, use the unit with the swing stopped and louvre vertical.
If the temperature is below 1°C, the extracted water is close
to freezing disabling the dehumidifi er, and only the blower
is operational.
z
The amount of dehumidifying
becomes less in winter.
When the temperature and humidity are low, the amount of
water collected is decreased.
In winter, because the temperature is lower than in summer, the effect
of the dehumidifi er is greatly reduced as shown in the graph below.
Although only a little water collects in the tank, this is not a
malfunction.

How does the dehumidifi er work?
If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around it
becomes cold, causing water droplets to form on the
surface of the cup.
The dehumidifi er takes advantage of this phenomenon
to remove moisture from the air.
1
The unit draws air from the room, cools it with its
cooling coil, causing the moisture to transform into
water droplets.
2
The water droplets fall into the water tank.
3
Dehumidifi ed air is heated by the re-heating coil,
and then blown out.
The humidity of the room is thus reduced by repeating

When humidity is high as a result of snow or rain even though
the air temperature is low, the amount of dehumidifi cation
increases compared with HIGH mode if you perform operation
in LOW TEMP mode.
