During operation
Warm air will come out from the air outlet during
(ECO/QUICK/CONTINUOUS) laundry drying operation and dehu-
midifying operation, and if used in an enclosed room, the room
temperature will go up.

dehumidify
Dehumidification
amount is low
(Water does not
accumulate in the tank)
The dehumidification level varies with the size, structure, temperature
and humidity level of the room.
When room temperature or humidity level is low, the dehumidification
level will be low in general.
●
Low humidity of less than 50% cannot be maintained.
Air flow mode will operate during auto dehumidifying operation when
room temperature or humidity level is low, and the unit will not
dehumidify.
When the room temperature is below 3°C, air flow mode will
operate to prevent the water tank’s water from freezing, and the
unit will not dehumidify.
When the room temperature is higher than 38°C, the protective device
will activate, the air flow mode will operate, and the unit will not
dehumidify.
When the room temperature is 15°C or under, the unit automati-
cally defrosts by switching to air flow mode which makes water
harder to collect.
Check to see if the unit runs in laundry deodorizing operation.
Switch to (ECO/QUICK/CONTINUOUS) laundry drying and
dehumidifying operation.
