Thick/heavy clothes may not achieve optimal dehumidification. Allow 30-50cm (approx. 12-20 inches) of distance on the top and right side of the unit to the wet clothes.

Bucketless Mode ?❌ (on some models)

The dehumidifier can be used without a bucket. The unit will not remind you when the bucket is full. It is suggested to:

1. Check if the tube is properly connected.
2. Link the other end of the tube to a place with unlimited capacity, such as a sink or a basin.
3. Do not place the other end of the tube in a container with limited capacity, otherwise water may overflow onto the floor.

To exit Bucketless mode:

1. Press FILL LEVEL ? and UP ⬆️ buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
2. Turn off the power ?.

NOTE: It may cause an unexpected exit from the bucketless mode when the tank float touches the micro switch (at the bottom of the unit). Please check if the bottom of the unit is clear under bucketless mode. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, horizontal table (tilt angle < 1 degree). Ensure the tube is properly connected to the drain before entering bucketless mode. The overall height of the tube should be lower than the drain to avoid water backflow and ensure smooth discharge. On Bucketless mode, the table height must be more than 10cm. Place the end of the hose into the drain area or container. Do not touch the switch or the unit will exit Bucketless mode. Do not move the unit when it is working; turn off power and unplug before moving.

Removing Collected Water ?➡️

There are two ways to remove collected water:

Method A: Use the Bucket

• When the unit is off, if the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times (on some models) and the LED 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 LED DISPLAY shows "P2".
• Lift the dehumidifier body handle, separate the dehumidifier body from the tank. Put the dehumidifier body aside.
• Throw away the water from the water outlet and replace the bucket.

Note: Lift the water bucket and throw away the water. Remove the rubber plug at the bottom of the bucket to drain off the water. Do not touch any parts inside the unit when removing the bucket. Be sure to insert the dehumidifier body gently all the way into the bucket. If there is some water in the unit when you remove the bucket, make sure to dry the unit.

Method B: Continuous Draining ?➡️

• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose (not included).
• Remove the cover located on the back of the water bucket, then remove the rubber plug. Attach a drain hose and lead it 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 area, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing.
• Place the end of the hose into the drain area and make sure the end of the hose is level or downwards to let the water flow smoothly. Do never let it go up.

Note: When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet, reinstall the rubber plug and cover.

Method C: Pump Draining ⚙️?➡️ (on some models)

• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain or a suitable drainage facility by attaching the pump drain outlet with a pump drain hose.
• Install the pump hose into the pump hose intake of the unit, and rotate it.
• Install the pump drain hose into the pump drain hose outlet for a depth of 15mm at least, then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
• Press the pump drain hose outlet in and take the pump drain hose out from it. Take the pump hose out from the unit. Make sure not to let water drip onto the floor.
• Put the dehumidifier on the bucket again.
• Press and hold the UP/DOWN buttons ⬆️/⬇️ for 2 seconds to initiate the PUMP feature. When the PUMP is activated, the bucket capacity is at the 4th fill level and cannot be selected. The PUMP works only if the bucket is full of water at the 4th fill level.
• 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 never let it up.

Note: The pump may cause loud noise when it starts to work for 3-5 minutes; this is a normal phenomenon. Do not use this operation when the outdoor temperature is equal to or less than 0°C (32°F), otherwise water will become ice that will cause the water hose to be blocked up and the unit to fail. Make sure to empty the bucket once a week when using the pump draining feature. When the pump draining feature is not being used, remove the pump drain hose from the outlet.

Care and Maintenance

Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Clean the Grille and Case ??

• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

Clean the Bucket ??

Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse. Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After cleaning, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

Clean the Air Filter ?️?

The air filter behind the two flanks grille should be checked and cleaned at least every two weeks or more often if necessary. NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

To remove:

• Grip the handle on the filter and pull it outward.
• Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.

To attach:

• Insert the air filter back into the unit.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

Note: The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Never use harsh cleansers, wax or polish on the cabinet front. Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the unit.

When Not Using the Unit for Long Periods ?

• After turning off the unit, wait one day for water collecting before emptying the bucket.
• Clean the main unit, water bucket, and air filter.
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
