PM2.5 Removal Efficiency of the Plasmacluster Dehumidifier (DW E16FA) Collects 99% of 0.1-2.5μm particles
New particles coming from outdoors due to ventilation are not taken into consideration.

• PM2.5 is a collective name for fine particles less than 2.5μm in diameter.
• It is not confirmed whether the dehumidifier can remove small particles less than 0.1μm in diameter. It cannot remove all harmful substances in the air, either.
• The effect is achieved in a confined space of 32m3 instead of an actually used space
  Test method: JEMA (HD-128); Judgment criteria: It takes less than 90 minutes to remove 99% of small particles of 0.1-2.5μm in a confined space of 32m3 . (A value converted to a test space of 32m3 )
• The number in this technology mark refers to the approximate quantity of ions per cm3 of air released from the dehumidifier equipped with a high-concentration Plasmacluster ion generating unit which was measured at the center point (1.2 meter height above the floor) of high concentration Plasmacluster 7,000 applicable floor area room (temperature 20°C, humidity 50%) when the dehumidifier was placed against the wall and runs in air purifying mode with HIGH air flow.

FAQs

Q The sound seems too loud?

A There is a sound at the start of operation/during operation/when the unit stops.
This is the sound of compressor operation or refrigerant (coolant) circulation. E – 29

Q The water does not accumulate in the tank. Is the unit dehumidifying?

A When the temperature is high, or when the temperature or humidity is low, air flow mode will operate, and the unit will not dehumidify. The water will not be collected in the tank during this time. E – 28

Q Will the room get warm?

A When using functions such as laundry drying or dehumidifying, warm air will be coming out from the front air outlet, and when used in an enclosed room, the room temperature will go up.

Q I would like to continuously operate the unit in dehumidifying mode. Is continuous drainage possible?

A Continuous drainage is possible by using a commercially available hose (inner diameter 15mm). E – 11, 21

Q The CURRENT HUMIDITY display seems wrong?

A The CURRENT HUMIDITY display is only for reference. (The value will not necessarily be the same with other devices.)
When the humidity suddenly changes immediately after the laundry drying mode starts, the display might be different from the actual humidity. When the humidity is 31% or lower, the display will show [Lo]; and 91% or above will show [Hi].

Q The air flow seems to get stronger on its own?

A Even if the laundry drying, dehumidifying or air purifying (Auto) operation is set, the air flow will increase automatically during the following situations:

• When the room temperature is 30°C or above…in order to lower the internal temperature.
• When the room temperature is 15°C or lower…(Air flow only) in order to prevent frost forming inside.
• When the “odor sensor” detects dirt in the room air…in order to remove dirt in the room air.

Q Why is there odor coming out from the air outlet?

• If the unit is used where there is strong odor of smoking or barbecue for a long time, the odor might adhere to the filter
  Sometimes, it is necessary to replace the filter. E – 22~23
• When the unit has been used for a long time, odor and dirt might adhere to the inside.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

DEHUMIDIFICATION MECHANISM

It is found that dew is formed on the surface of a cup holding cold water in the midsummer and water drop is attached to window glass of a room with heat supply. This occurs when warm air with much moisture gets contact with cold items. In accordance with the principle, wet air is used in a cooling machine to remove moisture.

1. Damp air comes in from the air inlet.
2. Vapor contained in air is cooled and becomes water drops, which flow into the water tank.
3. Air that has been cooled by the cooling machine is heated.
4. Dry air comes out from the air outlet.
   
   • It has no refrigeration capability, which is different from
     an air conditioner. As heat is generated in operation, the room temperature might increase by 2°C-5°C, depending on the ambient conditions (external temperature, room area, etc.).
   • Humidity might not be kept at 55-60%, depending on the ambient conditions.

ABOUT DEHUMIDIFICATION

In the following cases, the compressor will stop and will not dehumidify. The unit will switch to the air flow mode.

When the room temperature is lower than 3°C or higher than 38°C

The main unit will be overloaded. Therefore, the protection device will activate and laundry drying and dehumidifying operation will be stopped.

To prevent dehumidifying water from freezing, the protection device will activate and laundry drying and dehumidifying operation will be stopped.

At the time of re-operation

To protect the unit, the compressor will not operate for about 3 minutes immediately after the unit is started in the following cases:

• Immediately after the power plug is inserted
• Immediately after laundry drying/dehumidifying operation is stopped

At the time of defrosting

When the room temperature falls below 15°C, the unit will automatically start defrosting (Air flow mode) in order to prevent frost from forming inside the main unit.

• Once every 45 minutes, the compressor will stop and “HIGH” air flow mode will operate (for about 12 minutes). The lower the room temperature, the longer the compressor stop time.

AUTO OFF FUNCTION
(LAUNDRY DRYING (HIGH/MED/LOW)/DEHUMIDIFYING)

The operation will stop automatically after 12 hours in case the unit has been forgotten to be turned off. (A long beep will sound when the operation stops and the OFF TIMER “6” indicator light will blink)

When the unit operates again after being stopped by the Auto Off function

RE-OPERATION

Press the OFF button to stop the indicator light from blinking, and start the operation again.

To run the unit for more than 12 hours continuously, or to drain water continuously, disable the Auto Off function

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Always turn the operation “OFF” and unplug the power plug.
[Otherwise, electric shock or injury may be caused]

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

FILTER

The air purifying function collects dust and smell composition in the whole room. When the product is used where there is strong smell of aromatic, aroma oil, cigarette or barbecue, the smell will adhere to the filter.
It takes several weeks or several months for the smell to be volatilized. It is recommended to use the product together with ventilation of the room where there is strong smell. It takes more time to remove smell than dust.

If smell comes from the air outlet or it is hard to remove smell, please perform maintenance on both HEPA filter and Active Carbon Deodorizing filter.

HEPA Filter

It catches pollen, allergens (faeces and dead bodies of mite), mold, dirt, dust, cigarette smoke (particles) and pet hair.

It may change color (gray, ocher) due to collecting fine dust or dirt in the room.
This is not a malfunction. Proper maintenance will lengthen service life of the HEPA filter.

Gently clean the side with a tag

Gently vacuum
Put the product on a piece of newspaper to avoid contaminating its surrounding area.

Never wash it with water.

(Otherwise, the performance of filter may be degraded)

• Clean the side with a tag only. Never clean its opposite side.
• Remove the dirt on the filter surface.
• As the filter may be damaged easily, do not apply too much force.

Active Carbon Deodorizing Filter

Absorbs and decomposes various room odors, including cigarette smoke (odor), toilet odor, kitchen waste odor and pet odor.

As the Active Carbon Deodorizing filter absorbs a large quantity of smell composition, it gives out smell sometimes. Proper maintenance will lengthen service life of the filter

Gently vacuum
Put the product on a piece of newspaper to avoid contaminating its surrounding area.

Never wash it with water or dry it in the sun.
(Otherwise, the performance of filter may be degraded)

• Both sides can be cleaned.
• The filter may be damaged easily if too much force is applied on it, so be careful when handling it.
• Remove dirt from the filter where odor adheres.

NOTE

• It cannot remove all harmful composition (e.g.carbon monoxide in cigarette) or smell composition that continually volatilizes (e.g.construction material smell, and pet odor).

1. Dehumidifying Capacity: the amount of humidity that a dehumidifier removes from the air in a day when room temperature and relative humidity are kept at 30°C/80%RH and 26.7°C/60%RH respectively.
2. Power Consumption: the consumption value when fan speed reaches the highest.
3. Standby Status: the power plug is pluged in the socket while the Power ON/Off button is set at “Off”.
4. The service life of HEPA Filter & Active Carbon Deodorizing Filter is calculated according to the following rule:
   If the dust equivalent to that of five cigarettes is absorbed in a day, the filter needs to be replaced when its dust collection capability is reduced by 50%.
   (JEMA 1467) If the dust equivalent to that of 10 cigarettes is absorbed in a day, the maximum service life of the filter is about 2.5 years.
   Depend on the different working environments, the filter is recommended to replace within several weeks or months because of heavy smells.
