Do not splash or wash the unit. The may cause electric shock or fire. Otherwise water may spill and damage household effects. Make sure the louver slide cover is opened before operating. Closed air outlet may cause overheat or fire. 3
DEHUMIDIFIER SAFETY Check and replace the 3-in-1 filter every 3-6 monthes. Check and clean the nano-silver pre-filter every two weeks. Insufficientventilation may cause low dehumidification performance, frosting, dripping, overheating or fire. Do not touch the sensor lens. The sensor cannot work well if the lens is stained. Follow the instructions in P.14 to clean the lens if needed. 4
1. Automatic drying mode for more convenience The unit can automatically adjust its airflow to the wet clothes and dry them effectively. Pre-scan: a full range scan before dehumidifying. Drying: automatically blows dried air to, or swings toward, the specific directions according to the result of scan. 2. Unique air purifying function The unit contains a nano-silver pre-filter and a 3-in-1( (catachin, deodor, charcoal) filter. It operates as dehumidifier and air purifier simultaneously or simply as an air purifier. Negative ions are provided with discharged air under the dehumidifying or air purifying mode (low fan speed) to give you fresh and healthy breath. 3. High efficient drying and dehumidifying Three range selections for the vertical louver in a maximum range of 150 O. Wide or narrow horizontal airflow selections in a maximum range of 70 O. Thus, the dried air can be delivered to the desired portions. Dry clothes quickly and efficiently. 4. Four function modes, additional internal drying function, and three colors humidity display Dehumidifying, drying, auto drying and air cleanng modes. You can inhibit mildew on the cooler inside the machine by applying a one-hour internal drying mode after turning off. The humidity status display shows room humidity status in three corresponding colors. 5. Movable and compact Compact design with retractable handle makes lifting easy. Its slim shape enables storage in a laundry room or other confined space. 6. Automatic defrost Automatic defrosting ensures dehumidifying above 5 O C.

AUTOMATIC DRYING Automatic drying (without setting humidity and louver direction): It includes scanning stage and drying stage with an infrared detector. 1.Scanning stage: With the horizontal blades set at wide-angle and the detector turned to left top vertical louver swings up-down twice then moves to the top. The detector turns back and forth along with the vertical louver gradually downwards for a whole range scan, The machine determines the location of wet clothes based on the results of scan. 2.Drying stage: Adjust the louver and blades to the wet clothes area based on the result of scanning. Every 20 minutes for a cycle (rescanning and drying). If there is no wet clothes detected, the vertical louver moves up about 20 degrees, and the horizontal blades take a wide angle blowing. The detection range The detector senses the temperature of surroundings, within the range of about 150 o vertical and 70 o horizontal, to determine the position of wet clothes. The unit detects in a horizontal backand-forth and gradual move-down motion. Under 3m (150 O ) About 1m About 1.5m (70 O ) The detector may be less sensitive in following conditions: Low temperature in winter. The dehumidifier is far away from clothes (over 1 m). A small cloth.(please set in closer.) The detector is stained (see the P.14 for cleaning). Automatic louver control When clothes are less or concentrated, the horizontal blades will be set in a narrow angle, and the vertical louver will be fixed or swing in a small angle. When clothes are more or in a large area, the horizontal blades will take a wide angle, and the vertical louver will swing up and down. 10
TIPS OF CLOTHES PLACEMENT Please refer to the followings that may speed up your clothes drying. Put laundry in the range of the sensor The distance between clothes and the dehumidifier is preferable within 1 m. Put the dehumidifier closer when the clothing is less. Heavy clothes are not easy to dry, hanging closer to the dehumidifier.heavy clothes need more time to dry, so hanging them in front of of the dehumidifier, and try to even out the folds of the clothing. under 3m (150 O ) under 1m under 1.5m During the scanning stage, DO NOT step into (70 O ) the scanning zone, that will influence the scanning result. Preferably set the Automatic drying after finishing placing the clothes. When adding or re-arranging clothes, you may press the Function key to re-select the Automatic drying for a re-scanning. Proper spacing between clothes over 1m about 5cm Air circulation can speed up the drying time, so be sure to set clothing distance of about 5 cm. The space between the clothing should not be too large, or the drying efficiency of the dehumidifier will be reduced. Please fix the clothes properly to prevent them moved by the airflow. Hanging in front of the dehumidifier 1.5m Hanging on top of the dehumidifier 1.5m under 1m 0.5m Heavy clothes Handing the heavy clothes in the middle of airflow range. Light clothes such as underwear or socks are also recommended to be so. Make sure the airflow can reach the farest clothes. Make sure the air-blow can reach the farest clothes when handing above the dehumidifier. 11
