Auto Defrost Mode
Through normal operation, frost may build on the evaporator coils. In this case, the compressor will power off while the fan stays running. You can usually tell if this is the case when the air exhaust emits cool air instead of warm air.
Choosing a Location
- Place the dehumidifier on a smooth and level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
- Allow at least 18 inches of space on all sides of the unit for proper air circulation.
- Close all doors, windows, and other exterior openings of the room to improve the dehumidifying effect.
- Keep the air intake/exhaust clean and free of obstructions.
- Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or in areas where the temperature goes below 40 °For above 90 ° F.
- Humidity levels of 50-60% are optimal. Humidity levels above 60% may lead to mold or mildew growth.
Air Filter
After 250 hours of operation, the Filter indicator light will illuminate on top of your dehumidifier. After cleaning the filter, place the Filter button again to reset the 250-hour timer. Do not forget to replace the filter before resuming operation. This may cause the evaporator coils to attract dust, which will harm the performance of your unit.
Clean the filter using warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Do not dry the air filter with a source of heat, such as a lighter or hair dryer, as this may damage the filter.
Filter access:
Remove the drain bucket. The Filter is a light white plastic tab near the bottom of the air intake grille. Pull the filter straight down to remove it.
