operation and dehumidifying operation, and if used in an enclosed
room, the room temperature will go up.
The unit does not
● The dehumidification level varies with the size, structure, temperature
and humidity level of the room. When room temperature or humidity
dehumidify
level is low, the dehumidification level will be low in general.
● Low humidity of less than 50% cannot be maintained.
Dehumidification

accumulate in the tank)
● When the room temperature is below 3°C, air flow mode will operate
to prevent the water tank's water from freezing, and the unit will not
dehumidify.
● When the room temperature is higher than 38°C, the protection
device will activate, the air flow mode will operate, and the unit will
not dehumidify. Additionally, if the humidity is high humidity, the
protection device will work even when the room temperature is
below 38°C.
● When the room temperature is 15°C or under, the unit automatically
defrosts by switching to air flow mode which makes water harder to
collect.
● Check to see if the unit runs in deodorizing operation.
Switch to laundry drying and dehumidifying operation.
● Check to see if the rear panel is clean.
Clean the rear panel.
● Check to see if the air outlet or air inlet is blocked.
Remove whatever blocks the port.
The water leaks
● Make sure you do not tilt, knock over or drop the main unit.
Use the unit at a level, stable place with free of vibration.
● Check to see if the hose is disconnected from the drain outlet of the
main unit during continuous drainage.
Install the hose by pushing it all the way in.
The humidity level
● The room may be too big.
does not go down
● The opening/closing of windows and doors may be too frequent.
● Check to see if a humidifier or other devices that release steam is in use.
Laundry does not dry

Solution
There is a sound at the start
● Buzzing sound...This is the operating sound of the compressor.
of operation/during
operation/when the unit stops ● Whipping, howling sound...This is the sound of refrigerant (coolant) circulation.
The sound is too loud
● The unit will sound loudly for the first few seconds upon power-on
when the room temperature is low. (This duration will vary with the
temperature.)
● Check to see if the dehumidifier is properly placed on the floor or if
the floor is unstable.
Use the unit at a level, stable place with free of vibration.
● Check to see if the rear panel is clogged.
Clean the rear panel.
Buzzing sounds are
● This is the sound of generating Plasmacluster ions, not a
heard from the air
malfunction. Sound volume varies with the working environment and
outlet
operation mode, but the efficiency is not affected.
Odors or smokes are
● Check to see if the filters are enclosed in a plastic bag.
hard to remove Take out the filters from the plastic bag.
● Check to see if the wind from the air outlet is weak.
Clean the dust and dirt off the following parts:
˙Rear panel

Odor comes out from
● Check to see if the unit is used in a room with a strong odor. If the
the air outlet unit is used where there is a strong odor caused by smoking or
barbecue, the filter may give off odors in several weeks or months
and thus needs to be replaced.
It is recommended to use the product together with ventilation
of the room.
● When the unit has been used for a long time, odor and dirt may
adhere to the inside.
Please regularly clean the unit and dry its inside.
● Check to see if the dirt on the filters becomes heavy.
Clean the filters, or replace them if you are bothered.
● When Plasmacluster ions are generated, a trace of ozone will be
generated, which gives off an odor from the air outlet. However, its
quantity is tiny and the health will not be harmed.
