Product Functions
Dehumidification
The Kosmen KM-250S dehumidifier offers a powerful 250L/day dehumidification capacity, effectively controlling humidity to prevent mold and protect goods.
Dry Mode
Uses dehumidified airflow to dry and balance the humidity in the environment. This function quickly and continuously removes moisture from the air or objects to dry spaces, items, or materials.
Timer
This function allows you to set the operating time of the machine from 1 to 24 hours.
Wi-Fi Control
Enables remote control via a mobile app. You can adjust features, monitor ambient humidity, set timers, or schedule the device to operate based on your needs.
CO Mode (Continuous Operation)
A continuous dehumidification mode that allows the machine to operate non-stop until the user changes the settings.
Auto Defrost
When operating in low-temperature environments, the machine automatically detects the system temperature. If frost is detected, the machine will pause and enter defrost mode.
After defrosting is complete, the machine will automatically restart.
Memory Function
- The machine is equipped with a memory system that records the working history and remembers the last operating status before a power outage. It can maintain this setting for up to 72 hours after the power is cut off. When power is restored, the device will restart and resume the previous settings.
Note: Please turn off the power when leaving the machine unattended to ensure safety and save energy.

ADD (+)
Each press increases the set Relative Humidity (RH) value by 1%. (The environmental HUM value will revert to the ambient humidity level after 6 seconds of inactivity.)
Subtract (-)
Each press decreases the set RH value by 1%. (The environmental HUM value will revert to the ambient humidity level after 6 seconds of inactivity.)
Set
Note: This function is intended for technical personnel. Do not change these settings unless specifically required.

User Manual – Kosmen KM-250S Industrial Dehumidifier
Operating Guide
When the device is powered on for the first time, it will be in standby mode. Press the power button and set the desired humidity at least 3% lower than the current ambient humidity to initiate operation. If the set humidity is higher than the ambient humidity, the dehumidifier will not operate.
Dehumidifier Operation
- The compressor will start operating if the 3-minute protection delay has passed and the room humidity is ≥ set humidity + 5% RH.
- The compressor will stop when the room humidity is < set humidity - 5% RH.
- If the room humidity is within the range: (Set humidity - 5%) < Current humidity < (Set humidity + 5% RH), the compressor will maintain its current status (will not turn on/off).
- If the humidity drops and the compressor does not operate for 3 minutes, the fan will automatically shut off.
Drainage Indicator
The unit has a continuous drainage outlet connected to a plastic hose for direct discharge. Do not place the end of the drainage hose in standing water. Avoid long or elevated hose paths that may create backpressure, causing water leakage due to blocked drainage.
