FAQs
What is the ideal humidity level for my home?
Generally, a relative humidity level between 50% and 60% is recommended for comfort, health, and to prevent mould and mildew growth.
How often do I need to empty the water tank?
The frequency depends on the room's humidity level and the unit's operating mode. In very damp conditions or continuous mode, you may need to empty it once or twice a day. The unit will automatically shut off when full.
Can I use this dehumidifier in a cold basement?
Yes, the unit features anti-frost protection, allowing it to operate in cooler environments. However, compressor dehumidifiers generally perform best at temperatures above 5°C.
How loud is the Tower 20L Dehumidifier?
It operates quietly from only 42dB, which is comparable to a quiet refrigerator. This makes it suitable for use in living rooms and bedrooms without causing significant disturbance.
What are the benefits of the 'Clothes Drying' mode?
The 'Clothes Drying' mode helps to remove moisture from laundry hung indoors much faster than air drying alone, preventing musty smells and reducing the chance of mould on clothes or in the room.
Is the unit energy efficient?
Yes, it is designed for low power consumption and includes a 24-hour auto-off timer, allowing you to manage its operation to minimize running costs and save energy.
How do I activate the child lock?
Typically, the child lock is activated by pressing and holding a specific button (often indicated by a lock icon) on the control panel for a few seconds. Repeat the action to deactivate it. Refer to your user manual for exact button location.
Troubleshooting
Dehumidifier is not extracting water.
Check if the water tank is full or incorrectly inserted. Ensure the ambient temperature is above 5°C, as compressor dehumidifiers are less effective in very cold conditions. Verify that the air filter is clean and not blocked.
Unit is not turning on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the 24-hour auto-off timer is active and has expired. If the child lock is engaged, press and hold the child lock button for several seconds to deactivate it.
Dehumidifier is running but humidity isn't decreasing.
Confirm that the set humidity level is lower than the current room humidity. Close all windows and doors in the room to prevent new moisture from entering. Check if the room size is too large for the unit's capacity (20L/day is for average-sized rooms). Ensure air vents are not obstructed.
Unit is making unusual noises.
Ensure the dehumidifier is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent vibrations. Check for any loose parts or foreign objects around the fan or air vents. If the noise persists and is unusual, contact customer support.
Water tank full indicator is lit, but tank is empty.
The float sensor in the water tank might be stuck or dirty. Carefully remove the tank, inspect the float mechanism, and clean any debris. Ensure the tank is properly seated back into the unit.

- Energy-saving features like an auto-off timer minimize running costs.
- Quiet operation makes it suitable for bedrooms and living areas.
- Promotes healthier indoor air by preventing mould and damp.
- Includes essential safety features like auto shut-off and anti-frost protection.
Cons

- Occupies floor space, which might be a consideration in smaller rooms.
- Effectiveness can be reduced in very large, open-plan spaces (specific area coverage not provided).
- Needs access to a power outlet and may be less efficient in extremely cold rooms below its operational threshold (though anti-frost helps).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging and inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Position the unit on a firm, level surface in the room where you need dehumidification. Ensure there's at least 20-30 cm of clear space around all sides (especially the air inlet and outlet) to allow for proper airflow.
- Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable, grounded electrical outlet. The unit is ready for operation.
Compatibility
This compressor dehumidifier is suitable for most indoor living spaces, bedrooms, basements, utility rooms, and garages. Its anti-frost protection feature makes it compatible with cooler environments, but extreme cold (below ~5°C) may still reduce its efficiency.
Care and Maintenance
- Water Tank: Regularly check and empty the water tank when the 'Tank Full' indicator illuminates. To empty, slide the tank out, discard the water, and slide it back in until it clicks into place. *Info needed: For continuous drainage, please refer to the user manual for instructions on connecting a drainage hose.*
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Air Filter: *Info needed: Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to access and clean the air filter. Regular cleaning (e.g., every 2-4 weeks) is crucial for maintaining efficiency and air quality.*
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, empty the water tank, clean the exterior and filter, and store it upright in a dry place.
