DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the power button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidi
fi
er automatically
defaults to:
Display:
Current ambient room humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting:
50% RH
Fan Speed:
Low
Note:
Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidi
fi
er may not
start automatically under the default setting. This indicates that the humidity level of the surrounding
environment is lower than the default setting of 50% RH.
Press the down button to lower the set humidity until the humidity sensor recognizes conditions that
will allow the unit to operate. When the set humidity reaches a point lower than the surrounding
environment, the compressor will turn on and the unit will begin collecting water from the air.
Dehumidifying Mode Selection:
The unit enters dehumidify mode when the power button is pressed.
Press the up and down buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-80%). Each press will
change the set humidity by 5%.
OR
Press the ( ) button until CO shows on the display to reach continuous mode. When continuous
mode is selected, the humidity sensor will be by-passed and the compressor will operate non-stop
regardless of humidity conditions.
Fan Speed Selection:
You can choose a fan speed (low or high) using the keypad. The indicator light will illuminate on high
fan speed and will turn off on low fan speed.
For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level
in the surrounding environment. It is normal for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set
humidity.
It is recommended that in normal conditions the humidity be set at 40-45%.
During operation, it is normal for the dehumidi
fi
er to exhaust warm air from the top of the unit.
