Once the dehumidifier is switched on the compressor will start if the relative
humidity is above the switch off position set by the humidistat.
2. Suitable locations:
This dehumidifier is ideally placed near but not in wet areas like the bathroom or
kitchen, where moisture can be drawn in from the surrounding humid area.
DO NOT use it in WET areas where water can splash or drip onto or run into the unit.

PLACEMENT
Where to place the unit on the floor
This dehumidifier can be placed on firm and even floor
leaving enough space around it for the air to flow freely,
minimum 3cm at the back and minimum 5cm at the
front of the unit. The greater the space around the unit
the better.
How to fit the unit to the wall
1. Drill 3 holes according to the dimension around 185mm x 412mm in the solid
wall as illustrated on below (fig. 1) using an 8mm drill. Place the expanding bolts
through the fixing holes in the wall brackets, press them into the wall and tighten
the nuts onto the bolts (fig. 2).
2. Insert the bracket into the slotted holder at the back of the dehumidifier, just
above the filter on the rear panel.
3. Put the two rubber feet onto the round wall mounting clips, hang up the unit on
the hanger (fig. 3).
To take down the unit, just lift it a little and pull the top forward to disengage
the top bracket from the bolt and then continue to lift it off the supports at the
bottom.
4. Check the stability of unit, make sure it is secure on the wall before using.
5. Please note that the airflow next to the wall surface may cause dirt to be
deposited in some cases. Cleaning of the wall surface may be necessary.

and when rotate to OFF the unit will be off - saving electricity as some appliances
on standby.
When the water tank is full, the unit will shut off automatically and the red water full
indicator light will illustrate.

1. Do not use the machine when the room temperature is over 35°C or below 5°C.
2. Empty the water tank when it is full and the indicator light comes on or earlier,
whichever is most convenient for you. Replace the water tank so that the machine
can work continuously.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
1. Take out the rubber water stopper in the continuous drainage port at the bottom
of unit (see illustration below).
2. Insert the bending spring provided into a flexible drainage tube NOT SUPPLIED
(with inner diameter of 10mm, wall thickness approx 1.5mm). Put the clip on the
tube as illustrated below. Push the end of the tube with the spring inside onto the
drainage port on the bottom of the dehumidifier. Clip it firmly at the connection
of the tube and the drainage port.
Make sure the tube has a continuous downward slope and no blockages to
enable the water to drain out freely.
3. Whenever the continuous drainage is not needed the water stopper must be
placed securely into the drainage port at the bottom of the dehumidifier to
prevent leakage.
NOTE: Do not raise the height of drainage pipe more than 20cm(above the height
of unit base).
DRAINAGE
The compressor will stop when the water tank is full and
the red indicator light will indicate the need to empty
the tank.
1. Take out the water tank and empty the water out.
2. Replace the water tank ensuring it sits well in its
original position. The red indicator light should be
off, and the machine will retart automatically.
