OPERATION
1. When first operating the dehumidifier, run it in
continuous mode for 24 hours.
2. Power On and Off – Press the POWER button once to
manually turn the unit on. Press the POWER button
once more to turn the unit off.
3. Humidity Selection – Press the or buttons
to choose the desired relative humidity in the
room. Each press of the button will change the
desired room humidity by 5%. The room humidity
is selectable from 35-80% or continuous. The unit
will cycle on and off to maintain the humidity
level chosen on the digital display. If you want the
dehumidifier to operate continuously regardless
of the room humidity, press the MODE button until
you see "CO" on the digital display. This will enable
continuous operation and the "Continuous" indicator
will light up on the control panel.
4. Fan Speed Control – Press the FAN SPEED button
to cycle through the different fan speeds: high,
medium and low. The fan speed can be visually
distinguished by the fan speed indicators on the
control panel.
5. Timer Auto On – To program the unit to automatically
turn on, press the TIMER button when the unit is off.
Press or to increase or decrease the timer in 30
minute increments (.5 hours) up to 10 hours. After 10
hours, each press of the button will increase the
timer in 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. Once the
desired time is reached, the unit will automatically
turn on.
Timer Auto Shut-Off – To program the unit to
automatically turn off, press the TIMER button when
the unit is on. Each press of the or buttons will
change the timer setting in 30 minute increments
(.5 hours) up to 10 hours. After 10 hours, each press of
the or buttons will increase or decrease the timer
in 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. Once the desired
time is over, the unit will automatically power off.
NOTE: Fan will continue to run even when the
compressor is off. This is normal and allows
the unit to circulate air and operate more
efficiently
6. Bucket Full – When the water bucket is full of water,
the unit will automatically shut off, make a beeping
noise and the Bucket Full Indicator will light up. The
dehumidifier will not function until the water bucket
is emptied and placed back inside the unit. The
bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to
prevent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once
clean, completely dry the bucket and place it back
inside the dehumidifier. (See Figure 1)
NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from
the machine, the compressor will turn off, but
the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This
is completely normal. The dehumidifier will not
be removing moisture from the air at this time.
NOTE: When removing moisture from the air,
the dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the
side exhaust vent.
NOTE: Do not place a full bucket on the floor,
because the bottom is uneven.
7. Clean Filter – When the filter needs to be cleaned,
the filter indicator will light up (after 250 hours of use).
Remove the filter from the back of the unit by using
your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly
above the filter. (See Figure 2) Clean the filter with
warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing
the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, place the
filter back in the unit and press the FILTER button to
reset the filter indicator.
CAUTION! Do not operate the dehumidifier
without the included filter.
