Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions:
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture
from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect
your home and valued possessions from damage
(swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially
a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, as
moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator)
coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil,
drained and collected inside an internal (remov-
able) water tank located at the front of the unit.
The exhausted air being returned into the room
environment is elevated several degrees caus-
ing the surrounding air temperature to increase
(slightly). This process also contributes to lower-
ing the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Dehumidifying Mode Instructions:
When the unit is first connected to the electrical
outlet, the LED will not display until the “on/off”
button is pressed. When the “on/off” button is
activated(pressed), the LED light turns to factory
default setting:
Humidity Setting: 50% RH
Fan Speed: = HI
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Depending on humidity
conditions of the surrounding environment, the
dehumidifier may not start automatically under
the default setting. (this is an indication the
humidity level of the surrounding environment is
lower than the “default setting of 50% RH)
Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through
each of the different dehumidifier settings 35%
~ 80% until the “humidistat” (sensor) recognizes
conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1. To turn the unit on press the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the humidity “UP” or “DOWN” button to
select a desired RH operating value. (35% ~ 80%)
-OR-
2a. Press the CONT. button. When CONTINUOUS
mode is selected, the humidistat (control) will be
by-passed and the compressor will operate non-
stop regardless of humidity conditions.
AIR FILTER:
Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter.
This filter is located at the front of the unit (behind
the air intake grill) directly above the water tank
compartment. The air filter plays an important
role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt
particles from the surrounding environment.
A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake,
impacting negatively on operating efficiency.
To maintain maximum operating efficiency;
The filter must be checked and cleaned regularly.
(every 2 weeks)
More frequent cleaning may be required depend-
ing upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT:
Never operate the unit without the
air filter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1.Hold the holes on both sides of the water buck-
et and slide it out.
2.Remove the air filter by pulling down.
3.You may remove the dust with a vacuum clean-
er or brush.
: If there is too much dust, please wash the air
filter with warm water and dry it in the shade.
Please do not wrap the air filter when cleaning it.
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
3. Select a fan speed on the keypad.
When pressing the fan speed Button, the Fan
Speed will switch between Low and high.
