■ Automatic stop function (Dryness sensor)
During "Eco (Auto)" and "Hi (Auto)" operation, the dryness sensor detects the temperature and humidity, and
uses this as a reference to judge the level of dryness in order to stop operation automatically.
Guide to operation time before automatic stopping
· If the weight of clothing is approximately 4.0 kg, the dehumidifier will operate for about 4 – 6 hours in "Hi
(Auto)"mode, and for about 6 – 8 hours in "Eco (Auto)" mode. (From tests carried out by Panasonic in a 9.72
square meter room at a temperature of approximately 20°C and a humidity of approximately 70%)
· At the longest, the dehumidifier will stop after about 10 hours.

*1 Test results carried out based on Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association standard (JEMA-HD090).
Test conditions: Comparison of power consumption for drying in "Eco (Auto)" and "Hi (Auto)" drying operating
modes at a temperature of 20°C, humidity 70% (630 Wh for "Hi (Auto)" / 440 Wh for "Eco (Auto)")
*2 Test results carried out based on Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association standard (JEMA-HD090).
Test conditions: Comparison of time taken for drying clothing corresponding to a weight of 2 kg (3 T-shirts,
2 dress shirts, 1 pair of pyjamas, 7 sets of underwear, 2 pairs of socks, 3 towels) in "Eco (Auto)" and "Super
(Cont.)" drying operating modes in a 9.72 square meter room at a temperature of 20°C, humidity 70%.
The power consumption and operating time during actual use will vary depending on environment, type and
amount of clothing and the way the clothes are hung.
Effectiveness of the filter
The actions of the Super alleru-buster and anti-bacteria agents contained in the filter help to inhibit the activity of
allergens, bacteria and mold.
■ Super alleru-buster
Inhibits the activity of allergens (such as pollen and house dust mites) caught by the filter.
Testing facility: Osaka Municipal Technical Research Institute
Testing method: Application of the enzyme immunoassay method to confirm the reduction of refined mite allergens.
Testing results: Inhibition of activity confirmed
■ Anti-bacteria
Inhibits the activity of bacteria* 3 and mold*
*3 Testing facility: Japan Food Research Laboratories
Testing method: Confirmation by means of an agar cultivation method using a standard agar culture.
Testing results: Activity inhibited by 99% or more
*4 Testing facility: Japan Food Research Laboratories
Testing method: Based on anti-mold testing method (halo method)
Testing results: Anti-mold effectiveness of halo method confirmed.
The filter has a unique fragrance of catechin. This is normal and is not harmful to the human body.
The original filter has a light brown color. Some light brown dots may appear on the filter after use.
This is normal and does not affect the filter performance.
Operating temperature and humidity ranges
This product can only be operated within an ambient temperature range of approximately 1° to 40°C and a humidity
of 20% or higher.
At temperatures outside the range of 1° to 40°C, dehumidifying operation will stop and only fan operation will
occur.
If the humidity is less than 20%, the safety mechanism will be activated and operation will be stopped in order to
protect the unit.
