Reducing Growth of Mildew in Bathroom

This operation is for reducing the growth of mildew by drying the inside of a bathroom to remove any humidity and droplets that
remain inside after, for example, you take a bath. This operation can also be used as a measure for tackling mildew in rooms.
Installing the Dehumidifi er
Install the unit in the dressing room (entrance to
the bathroom).
(Do not install the unit inside the bathroom.)
If water remains in the
bathtub, cover the bathtub.
CAUTION
Do not use the unit in a bathroom or other location where it is
likely to come into contact with water, or wash it with water.
The unit does not have a drip-proof or water-proof
structure. Water coming into contact with the unit may
result in a fi re due to a short circuit, or an electric shock.
Rough Guide on Usage
Location to be dehumidifi ed
Bathroom (bathroom +
dressing room)
Room
For more effective operation, use the unit within the above ranges.
For effective use, keep the windows and doors of the room
closed and do not ventilate the room during operation.
Operation may not be suffi ciently effective if the
bathroom is spacious or because of the building
materials used for the fl oor and walls of the bathroom.
Drops of water may remain in places where water collects easily.
Mildew may grow depending on the room conditions
and the type of mildew.
Example: Where air circulation is poor such as beneath
a container or the like in the bathroom or at the back of
a cupboard or behind furniture in the bathroom.
This operation cannot dry locations where the airfl ow cannot
reach such as inside a bathtub and beneath a container.
This operation cannot remove existing mildew and
water scale, or slime in the drain outlet.
If this operation is used in conjunction with the off
timer, operation may stop before drying is complete.
About Bathroom Mildew Guard Operation
After dehumidifying is performed until the humidity reaches 50%,
operation is performed for approximately 4 hours and then stopped
automatically. The operation time varies depending on the temperature
and humidity, but the minimum time is approximately 4 hours
(approximately 6 hours when the room temperature is 20°C or less) and
the maximum time is approximately 12 hours.
How is mildew growth suppressed?
Mildew is unable to produce new spores if dried as mycelia. The Mildew Guard feature applies
this principle. (However, the spores themselves are resilient to dry conditions.)
Set air to be blown from
the downward air outlet.
Adjust the orientation of
the unit so that air fl ows
toward the whole room.

Start operation
(Air is blown from the downward air outlet.)
Operation stops
after approximately 4 to 12 hours.
The POWER lamp goes out and the
operating mode indication disappears.
Air is blown from the downward air outlet
automatically to dry the fl oor surface. When you
want to dry the walls and ceiling, change the
direction of the swing louvre.
When you want to use other than the downward air
outlet, adjust the orientation of the unit.
The airfl ow rate cannot be set because it is
changed automatically. It is also not possible to use
this in conjunction with another operating mode or
to set the humidity.
<When you want to abort the operation>
When you want to end the operation
partway through:
Press the POWER switch (OFF).
When you want to switch to another
operation:
Press the MODE switch or SELECTION
switch.
