Pushing again will turn the machine off.
Please note unit may run on and off depending
on humidity levels and programmed humidity set.
2. Select Operating Mode
* Auto Mode
When the unit is turned on for the first time or by
cycling through the settings using the setting button
(3) until auto indicator (9) is lit, operation begins
in auto mode. "50" will appear in the display (5)
and the auto indicator (9) will light up. In this setting,
humidity level and fan speed is adjusted for optimum
comfort (50%) with no manual adjustment needed.
If a humidity adjustment arrow (15) or fan speed
button (2) is pressed while in auto mode, the unit
will switch to humidity mode automatically.
* Humidity Mode
To set desired humidity level when not in auto mode,
push setting button (3) until humidity indicator
(10) is lit. The humidity levels will adjust in increments
of 5% beginning at a low of 35% and reaching a
maximum of 70%. Humidity will show in the display
when adjusting humidity level. To adjust humidity
level up or down, press humidity adjustment
arrows (15) until desired humidity level is reached.

Select Your Fan Speed
By pressing fan speed button (2), fan speed will
change. The indicator (8) of selected fan speed
will light (High or Low). In Auto Mode, fan speed
will adjust the fan speed automatically depending
how close the room humidity is to 50%. For example,
if the room is 70%, the unit will need to pull in air
quickly, so it will turn on high. Once the room
reaches 55%, the unit will slow the amount of air
flow and turn the fan on low. Fan Speed can be
adjusted in all settings except for auto mode.
* Continuous Mode
To set the unit into continuous mode, push setting
button (3) until continuous indicator (12) is lit.
Continuous mode will run the compressor and fan
continuously until it is powered off or until another
setting is inputted. When continuous mode is
programmed, “Co” will be displayed. Fan speed
can be adjusted in this mode.
4. Water Removal Indicators
* Pump ON
Pump setting button is selected when using the
automatic pump feature with included 18 ft. hose
To select the pump as your water removal option,
press the pump button (4). When the pump
indicator (13) is on, the pump will automatically
remove the water in the bucket only when the
bucket is full. The pump light must be on at all time
to use this function. It will only turn on for a period
of 30 seconds to remove the water. The pump will
turn off after 30 seconds and not turn on again until
the bucket is full again. It is normal for a small
amount of water to remain in the bucket after the
pump has operated; this is to protect the pump.
The pump button should be off at all times except
when the user chooses this as their option to remove
collected water (See Page 7, Option 3). The pump
option should only be selected when there is a ¼”
hose properly installed in the pump drain location.
If the pump button is pressed when using other
disposal options, E3 (Error message – See page 10)
will be displayed. If other disposal options are
needed, push the pump button again to turn off the
pump function.
* Bucket Full Indicator
When the collection bucket is full, bucket full
indicator (6) will light. The unit will not run with the
bucket full. Dispose of water and replace bucket
properly.

During cycle run time operation, compressor and
fan may shut off depending on programmed
humidity level.

Dehumidifier pint capacity is defined as how
much moisture it can draw out of the air in a
24 hour period in 80 degrees F and 60%
Relative Humidity. Once humidity begins to
drop from 60%, the amount of moisture in
the air begins to fall, which will result in less
water in your bucket.
