Product Functions

The Kosmen KM-20N dehumidifier offers the following key features:

Dehumidification

Effectively removes excess moisture and balances indoor humidity to a safe and comfortable level. Helps keep spaces dry, reducing mold growth and dampness.

Clothes Drying

Dries clothes using dehumidified airflow while maintaining balanced room humidity. Prevents re-absorption of moisture, ensuring clothes are dried gently without over-drying or fabric fading.

Negative Ion Air Purification

The device releases negative ions that help eliminate airborne dust and particles, keeping the air fresh and clean. 

In addition to its core functions, the dehumidifier also includes smart features such as a timer setting, full water tank alert, overload protection, and an automatic defrost function.

Operation

How the Dehumidifier Works

  • The compressor turns on after a 3-minute delay if the room humidity ≥ (set humidity + 5% RH).
  • The compressor turns off if the room humidity < (set humidity - 5% RH).
  • When the humidity is within ±5% RH of the set value, the machine maintains operation.
  • If humidity drops, the fan stops after 3 minutes.
  • When the water tank is full, the unit beeps 3 times, the full tank light turns on, and the unit stops. Empty the tank and reinstall it correctly to resume operation.

Defrost Function

  • After 30 minutes of operation, if the coil temperature is ≤ -1°C for 3 seconds, the compressor stops and the fan runs to defrost.
  • The defrost cycle ends when the coil temperature reaches ≥ 5°C for 3 minutes.

Indicator Lights

Water Level Float

Do not remove the float from the tank. The machine will not start if the float is removed.

Reinstalling the Water Tank

Use both hands to place the tank properly. If misaligned, the Full indicator will light up, and the machine will not start or may overflow during use.

Cleaning the Water Tank

If dirty, clean with cold or warm water. Do not use detergents, chemically treated cloths, gasoline, benzene, thinners, or solvents, as they may damage the tank.

Continuous Drainage

The unit is equipped with a drainage outlet for connecting a plastic hose (inner diameter 11mm).

Do not submerge the hose end in water or allow blockage, as this may cause back pressure and water leakage.

Usage Notes

  • Place the unit upright on a flat surface, at least 20cm away from obstructions or heat sources.
  • Do not block the air inlet or outlet.
  • Keep windows and doors closed and avoid using fans during operation.
  • Let the unit stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging in after transport or tilting (e.g., during cleaning or moving).
  • Ensure power supply matches specifications on the device label.
  • Power off, unplug, and empty the water tank before moving the device.
