with automatic high or low fan speed.

To run low fan speed

LOW The unit automatically dehumidifies in low fan speed and
low heater.

Super dry mode to prevent damp, condensation & mould

HIGH The unit automatically keeps room humidity at 45~50%RH

Note: There may be times when the fan speeds are the same for AUTO and LOW.
AUTO itself is not a fan speed but a target relative humidity set point that uses
either the low or high fan speeds to reach its target of 55-60%RH.
If the relative humidity of the room is close to or within this range, then switching
between LOW and AUTO will make no difference to the fan speed.

Do not remove or damage the float in the bucket, or the unit
cannot work correctly.
The bucket cover must be correctly fitted into position.
The "FULL" LED lights up if the bucket is not correctly fitted
into position.

TO DRAIN WATER
You may use 2 methods to remove the collected water: water
bucket or drain hose.
A drain hose with an inner diameter of 12mm is quite suitable for
continuous drainage (1.2M drain hose is included):
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the ‘knockout’ at the back of
the unit. Attach the tubing to the connector through the hole.
2. The drain hose should lead downwards away from the unit,
with no sharp bends to ensure uninterrupted drainage.
