  2. Ensure that the water tank is clean and dry.
  3. Use a soft cloth with neutral cleanser to clean away any dust or debris from the surface of the air inlet/outlet.
  4. After the machine is completely dried, put on the bag and place it in a cool and well-ventilated place.
  5. If you do not use it for a long time, you should turn on the machine for a few minutes from time to time to ensure a good performance.

 

Troubleshooting 

 

Situation

Steps to Resolve

Not turning on
  • Confirm it is plugged into a working power outlet and other devices on the circuit function (i.e. there is no power outage or similar)
  • Confirm the water tank is not full

Poor performance (less water in the tank)
  • Confirm the filter is not blocked
  • Confirm the door is not open
  • Check for obstacles blocking the air inlet/outlet
  • Ensure there are no other appliances producing steam
  • Confirm the indoor temperature is not too low

Decreased air intake
  • Clean the air filter
  • Ensure the air inlet/outlet is not blocked

Significant noise
  • Check the fan in the air outlet
  • Ensure the appliance is not tilted

Leakage
  • Ensure the appliance is not tilted
  • Ensure there is no water in the appliance when it is being moved
  • Confirm the floating ball in the water tank has not fallen off

Still working after being turned off

This is a regular function: the appliance will keep working for
4 minutes after being turned off to fully exhaust hot air

Hot air with odour produced

This is a normal phenomenon when the temperature is high between the heat exchanger and the cold exchanger

Why was I not able to pair the device?
  • Make sure the device is powered on and close to your mobile phone when adding a device.
