SOCIABLE REMARK
When using this dehumidifier in the European countries, the following information
must be followed:
DISPOSAL: Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection
of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.
It is prohibited to dispose of this appliance in domestic household waste.
For disposal, there are several possibilities:
A) The municipality has established collection systems, where electronic waste can
be disposed of at least free of charge to the user.
B) When buying a new product, the retailer will take back the old product at least
free of charge.
C) The manufacture will take back the old appliance for disposal at least free of
charge to the user.

OPERATING THE UNIT
Removing the collected water
1. Pull out the bucket a little.
There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket
When the bucket is full, the unit will automatically
stop running, and the Full indicator light will flash.
Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right
handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so
water does not spill. Do not put the bucket on the floor
because the bottom of the bucket is uneven.
Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water
to spill.
Throw away the water from the water outlet (See Fig.7)
and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in place
and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored
in its correct position.
Fig.5
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
with even strength, and pull it
out from the unit.
NOTES:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts
inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the
unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to
push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.
2. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor
drain by attaching the unit with a water hose
( 12mm) (not included).
R emove the rubber plug from the back of the unit and s tore
it in a s afe loca tion.
Inse rt the water hose into the unit from the drain outlet in the
bac k of the unit as s hown in F ig.8. Attach the water hose to
the drain hose outlet of the unit.Make sure the connection
of the water hose and the drain hose outlet of the unit is tight
a nd do not let the water leak.
T hen lead the water hose to the floor drain or a s uitable
drainage facility.T he drainage facilify should be lower than the
drain outlet of the unit.
B e sure to run the water hose sloping downward and let the
water to flow out s moothly.D o not install the water hose as
s hown Fig.9a a nd F ig.9b.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not
being used,remove the drain hose from the outlet
and attach the rubber plug back to the drain outlet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. 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.
2. 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 clean, the bucket must be in place
and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
