BEFORE THE FIRST USE

All packaging material and promotional labels should be removed before using your dehumidifier for the first time. The filters are attached to inner side of the air inlet grille at the back of the dehumidifier. The filter pack includes a mesh dust filter to trap larger airborne particles, High Grade H13 True HEPA Filter to capture fine particles and a black Activated Carbon Filter to help reduce odours and smoke, as shown in [Figures 1]

This dehumidifier comes with the filters filled inside and packed with plastic for performance protection purpose. The filters MUST be removed from its packaging before operating the device.

Steps To Remove Filter Packaging

• Open the air inlet grille. [Figure 1(a)]
• Disengage the filters pack from the air inlet grille. [Figure 1(b)]
• Remove the filters from its packaging. [Figure 1(c)]
• Attach the unpacked filters back to the air inlet grille in the order, as shown in [Figure1(c)].
• Place back the air inlet grille onto the dehumidifier. Ensure the grille sets properly into its place before operating the unit.

Proper Posi�oning and Usage

• The dehumidifier should be placed on a flat level surface with the control panel facing up before switching it ON. [Figure 2]

• Leave at least 30 cm of clear space around the dehumidifier when it is in operation. [Figure 3]

• For optimal efficiency, shut all windows and doors when the dehumidifier is operating. [Figure 4]

• The dehumidifier contains refrigerant inside the unit. In transit, your appliance gets shake around. It is recommended to leave it at least two hours before you plug it in.

PRODUCT FEATURES & OPERATION

Power Bu�on

Press for turning ON or OFF the dehumidifier

Dehumidifica�on Modes

This feature is designed for operating the device in three optional dehumidification modes: Auto, Continuous, and Laundry. By repeatedly pressing the desired mode can be selected.

• Auto Mode: In this mode, both desired humidity and fan speed can be selected, and the device will operate automatically to maintain the desired humidity.
• Continuous Mode: In this mode, the device operates in low fan speed and humidity level cannot be selected. It will continue operation untill its manual turn OFF.
• Laundry Mode: In this mode, the device operates in high fan speed and humidity level cannot be selected. This mode assists on fast drying of wet cloths hanging indoor and wet carpets

Real-Time Humidity Level Control

This option helps adjusting humidity level (Relative Humidity %RH) and controls dehumidification to maintain pre-set humidity levels. To manually adjust the humidity level, scroll your finger left or right on the Humidity Level bar until the desired level flashes and then illuminating on the display panel.

Note: Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air and it is commonly expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at a given temperature. A comfortable %RH level is commonly considered to be between 40-60 %RH.

Only Air Purifier Func�on

This feature turns the device into an air purifying only mode to clean and fresh the air. By pressing button, the dehumidification function will be stopped.

• You do not need to wait for the to turn ON for changing the filter. You may need to change the filter if you notice any of the following:
• Increased noise from the device when it is switched ON.
• No effective difference in air dehumidification or quality.
• Decreased airflow.
• Unusual odours.
• Clogged filter.

Steps for Replacing the Filter:

• Open the air inlet grille. [Figure 7(a)]
• Disengage the used filters pack from the air inlet grille. [Figure 7(b)]
• Clean any remaining dust or hair inside the dehumidifier and air inlet grille with a vacuum cleaner. DO NOT use water or any liquids to clean the dehumidifier. [Figure 9]
• If the dirt and dust has built up on the mesh dust filter, hand wash in warm and soapy water, then rinse well and dry before replacing. Never wash the True HEPA and Activated Carbon Filter package.
• Remove the new filters from the packaging.
• Attach the new unpacked filters to the air inlet grille in the order, as shown in [Figure 7(b)].
• Place back the air inlet grille onto the dehumidifier. Ensure the grille sets properly into it place before operating the unit.
