FAQs
How often should I empty the water tank?
The frequency depends on the humidity level in the room. Check the water level indicator and empty the tank when it's full. Continuous drain can also be used.
How do I clean the air filter?
Remove the air filter from the unit, rinse it with water, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
Can I use this dehumidifier in a cold room?
Yes, but performance may be reduced. The auto-defrost function helps prevent ice build-up. The unit may not be very effective in very cold temperatures.
What is the continuous drain function?
It allows the dehumidifier to operate continuously by draining the collected water through the included 600mm hose, eliminating the need to empty the water tank.
What modes does this dehumidifier have?
It features SMART mode, Dryer mode for laundry, and a Timer function for setting operating times.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a one-year manufacturer's guarantee, and a second year is available upon registering the product.
How do I set the timer?
Use the electronic controls to set the desired operating time for the dehumidifier.
