Otherwise, overheating or fire may result.
When [
] lights on the LED display on the operation panel and operation stops,
the unit may be used under one of the following conditions and in one of the
following locations. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit.
Is the unit operating at a room temperature of more than 35¡C, with the unit's WIDE SWING louver blowing toward the
rear in DRY CLOTHES mode at "Low" air flow rate or in CONTINUOUS DEHUMIDIFY mode at "Low" air flow rate?
Is the air outlet or air intake covered with a cloth or the like?
Check whether the unit is operated in a location with inadequate ventilation such as a closet or a narrow space between furniture.
Check whether the unit is operated in an improper place under direct sunshine, near heating
sources or air outlet of hot wind emerging from air conditioners or oil fan heaters.
Check that the size of the room where you are operating the unit is not too small.
When the compressor for the cooling cycle becomes abnormally hot, operation is automatically
stopped for safety. If this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, eliminate the
problem, and restart operation after a waiting period of about 40 minutes. If the [
] indicator
still remains on, consult the shop where you purchased the unit or your nearest SHARP
Service Center.
Operating the unit in DRY CLOTHES or CONTINUOUS DEHUMIDIFY mode for long
periods causes the room temperature to rise and the air to dry out. Do not operate
the unit for long periods in rooms where people are present.
Keep the unit at least 2 m away from a TV, radio or wave clock.
Otherwise the unit may cause radio interference.
E-4
Keep at least 2 m away

To ensure good operating efficiency, avoid
repeatedly opening doors and windows in the room

Dry washing
Seen from the front of the unit, the air flow exits slightly
to the right. When drying clothes, use the WIDE SWING
louver to make sure the air flow is directed toward the
laundry and dries it quickly.
In winter when the room temperature is low (below 10¡C), use the
dehumidifier in combination with a room heater to reduce the drying time.

PLASMACLUSTER ION effect
Plasmacluster ions surround the mold spores floating in the room air and inactivate*1them.
This reduces the odor generated when mold propagates.
・
Measuring method: In PLASMACLUSTER ION operation, the density of mold spores floating
in the air is measured by an air sampler.
Testing organization: Ishikawa Prefecture Preventive Medicine Organization
Disinfection method: Discharge of plasmacluster ions into the air.
Plasmacluster ions deactivate floating mold spores
Plasmacluster ions (a large
quantity of plus and minus ions)
attach themselves to the
surface of floating mold spores.
Mold spores
The plasmacluster ions, composed of
plus ions (hydroger ions: H+) and
minus ions (oxygen ions: O2-), react
at the surface of floating mold spores
and change to highly active hydroxyl
radical OH.
Mold spores
The hydroxyl radical OH extracts
the hydrogen atom (H) from the
cell walls of the floating mold
spores, thus destroying the cell
walls.
Mold spores

Continuous Drainage
Cautions when using the unit with continuous drainage
This dehumidifier is for home use. If you use it with continuous drainage, make sure to check the unit at least once every 2 weeks for
a dirty filter or clogged drain hose.
If you are using a drain hose, make sure that the temperature around the hose does not drop below 0¡C. Water in the hose might
freeze causing water to spill and wet the floor and the unit.
Cover the end of the hose with netting to prevent insects from entering.
The AUTO OFF function also works during CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE. 12 hours after the start of operation, the unit will automatically
stop. The AUTO OFF function can be canceled as described below.
Canceling the AUTO OFF function
Before using CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
As explained in "Preparations before use" (
E-8 page
) the AUTO OFF function will shut down the unit
automatically after 12 hours of normal operation. If you do not wish this function to work during continuous
drainage, you can cancel it as described below.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE is possible, if there is a place to drain water nearby. Make sure to stop
operation, disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet and carry out the following procedure.
1
Open a drain hose hole.
Rear view
Remove the water tank. Using a screwdriver, punch a hole at the drain hose hole
located at the back of the unit. Smoothen the edge of the hole with a file etc.

Attach the elbow joint to the other end of the hose inserted into the continuous drainage hole.
Remove the drainage tank. Pull down the drain stopper located at the upper right inside the casing.
Put your finger behind the rubber packing on the drain stopper. Then pull the rubber packing off toward
the front and remove the drain seat at the same time.
* These are important parts you will need when not using CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE. Keep the rubber packing and drain seat in a safe place.

For safety purposes, turn off and unplug the unit
before carrying out any maintenance.
For clean, sanitary and pro-long use, regular
maintenance is recommended.

If you do not insert the tank float securely, the tank can overflow, and the unit
will not stop. Take due care.

3
Wash the inside of the water tank.
After prolonged use, the drain water may cause the tank to go black.
If this happens, wash the tank with a sponge, warm water and a mild detergent.
Wipe the water tank with a soft cloth, and install the tank lid, tank handle, and tank float.
* After having reinstalled these parts, make sure to move the float lever up and down with your finger to confirm that it moves smoothly.
If the float sticks, the overflow protection device located behind the lever will not work and the tank may overflow.

purification.
Filter
A clogged filter will result in reduced dehumidification efficiency and higher power
consumption. It can also cause odor.
If you operate the unit without the filter, dust will accumulate in the unit, which may result in malfunction.
Remove dust and dirt with the corner tool of your vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the filter
If the filter is very dirty, wash it with neutral detergent diluted in
warm water. Rinse it off and let it dry well in the shade.
Main body
Dirty side up
(About once a month)
Wipe off any dirt from the unit using a piece of soft cloth soaked in warm water (40¡C max.) or with detergent.
If detergent is used, make sure to wipe off the detergent with a damp cloth.
The air intake and outlet become dirty easily, so make sure to clean them well.
If water is allowed to splash on the unit, electrical insulation may be affected and corrosion of the unit may eventually result.
Caution
Use a neutral detergent (e.g. for dish washing) for cleaning.
Do not use the following types of cleaning agents as they will damage plastic parts.
Thinners, benzine, alcohol, petrol, powder soap, powder polish, alkaline washing agents, hot water, acid or scrubbing brushes.
Do not scrub or expose the unit to chemically treated cloths for any prolonged period of time as this may damage the surface of the unit.
If the unit is not used for a long time
1
Empty the water tank completely.
Remove the tank lid, tank handle and tank float, and wipe off any
excess water in the tank.

See above
2
Clean the filter.
3
Wind the power supply cord around the clamp on the rear panel.
Storage
Band
See above
Dry the unit thoroughly and cover with a sheet for dust protection. Store the unit in a well ventilated
place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. If the unit is left uncovered without any protection, dust
will accumulate so that the air emitted by the unit will be dusty next time the dehumidifier is used.

Things to remember
The temperature at which the unit can be operated is 5¡C to 35¡C.
If the room temperature is over 35¡C, the built-in protection system will automatically turn off the unit.
Dehumidifying operation increases room temperature.
(The dehumidifier does not have a cooling function.)
The unit generates heat during operation and will become warm. It will blow out warm air, but this is
normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit.
Dehumidification capacity will increase as
temperature rises (as shown in the chart
on the right).
In winter when the room temperature is
low (below 10¡C), use the dehumidifier in
combination with a room heater to reduce
the drying time.

Defrosting
If the room temperature is below 16¡C, frost may form on the cooling device of the dehumidifier,
and the automatic defrosting function will automatically switch on.
During defrosting, air flow is stopped and the sound of operation will change.
The length of time that defrosting will operate will vary according to room temperature and humidity, but
will be carried out about 5 minutes at 45 minute intervals. (The duration of a defrost cycle will be longer
when the temperature is lower.)
