OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION
• Place the dehumidifi er on a smooth, level fl oor
that is strong enough to support the appliance
with a full bucket of water.
• Do not place the dehumidifi er on carpeting as
this can block air fl ow around the appliance.
Do not force casters to move over carpeting as
the appliance can become unbalanced and spill
water.
• To maintain effi ciency, operate the appliance
in an enclosed area. Keep nearby doors and
windows closed.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 40 cm (16
inches) around the air outlets and 20 cm (8
inches) on other sides of the appliance to allow
for proper air circulation.
• The recommended ambient operating
temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 32°C
(90°F).
• Any time the appliance is placed on its back or
side, it must be allowed to stand upright for 6
hours before plugging in to avoid damage to
internal components.
• The default setting is 40% and high fan speed.
Depending on conditions the dehumidifi er may
not start automatically under the default setting.
This means the ambient humidity is less than
40%. Press the humidity adjust buttons to lower
the set humidity until the it is lower than the
ambient humidity.
• For optimal performance, ensure that the
humidity setting is 10% lower than the ambient
humidity. It is normal for the ambient humidity to
vary up to 5% above or below the set humidity.
• It is recommended in normal conditions to set
the humidity between 40-45%.
• It is normal for the dehumidifi er to exhaust warm
air from the air outlet.
TIMER

Auto On
1. When the dehumidifi er is turned off, press the
timer button to activate the auto on timer.
2. Press the humidity adjust buttons to change the

Using Auto On and Auto Off Together
The auto on and auto off timers can be used at the
same time by fi rst setting one and then the other.
For example, if the dehumidifi er is running, you can
set the auto off timer to let it run for a set amount
of time before turning off and then set the auto on
timer to turn it back on at a later time.
Or, if the dehumidifi er is not running, you can set
the auto on timer to turn it on at a later time and
then set the auto off timer to shut it off after running
for a period of time.
Note:
The timer will not cycle the dehumidifi er on
and off indefi nitely. The auto on and auto off timers
will function one time and then the dehumidifi er will
return to regular functioning.
Turning the dehumidifi er on or off at any time or
changing the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the
timer settings.
