Operating the Control Panel

Use the "Power" button to turn the portable dehumidifier on and off. By
default when you first use the power button, the unit will begin to operate
in normal fan speed mode.
Note: If the unit was powered off, wait at least 3 minutes before powering
it back on.
Auto-Restart: If power to the unit is interrupted, the dehumidifier will restart
itself in with the last used mode/settings once the power is restored. The
compressor will restart after 3 minutes.
Auto-Shut Off: The unit will shut off when the set humidity has been
reached, or when the water bucket is full, has been removed, or is not in
its proper position.
Continuous mode dehumidifies the air until the water bucket is full. Use the
continuous mode for maximum dehumidification. You will not be able to
use the set humidity buttons.
To operate the unit in continuous mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the "Power" button.
3) Press the "Cont." button. The LED indicator next to "Cont." will light up.
4) Select the fan speed by using the Normal or High button.
The dehumidifier has two fan speeds. Use the turbo fan speed for
maximum moisture removal. Use the normal fan speed for quieter
operation.
Select the fan speed by pressing the "Fan" button until desired mode is
illuminated
The desired humidity level can be set within a range of 35% Relative
Humidity (RH) to 80% RH in 5% increments.
To set the desired humidity level percentage:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the Power button. Make sure the "Cont." light is turned off.
3) Press the "Increase" and "Decrease" buttons to set the desired humidity
level. After a few seconds, the LCD display will revert to the actual room
humidity level with ±5% accuracy. For drier air use the "Decrease" button.
