ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on
or off. When turning the machine on, usually the display
reads CMPRSR DELAY and performs a numeral count
down from a maximum of 60 seconds to 0. The
compressor delay gives the machine time to warm up
(when needed). If you don’t see a compressor delay
countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit
completes the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads
DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and continues to cycle between
TOTAL HOURS, JOB HOURS and DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The
display will read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.
DISPLAY. Press the DISPLAY key to stop the
display at DEHUMIDIFER ON or OFF, TOTAL HOURS,
or JOB HOURS as it cycles. Press DISPLAY again to re-
start the display cycle.
How to change the language display
CAUTION: While in the change-language mode,
pressing other keys can change the programming of the
machine. Do NOT press other keys you’re not instructed
to press.
Use the DISPLAY key to change the display language.
Follow these steps:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. While holding down the DISPLAY key, plug the unit in.
The display reads ENGLISH.
3. To change to FRANCAIS, DEUTSCH, or ESPANOL,
press the DISPLAY key or the CLEAR key.
4. When the desired language is shown in the display,
unplug the unit, and the language is set.
CLEAR. Press the CLEAR key to reset the JOB
HOURS
1. As the display cycles between DEHUMIDIFIER ON,
JOB HOURS, and TOTAL HOURS, press the DISPLAY
key when JOB HOURS appears on the screen. That will
make the display read JOB HOURS steadily.
2. Then press the CLEAR key to re-set the numerals
to 00000.
3. Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.
NOTE: the TOTAL HOURS reading cannot be re-set.
PURGE. Press the PURGE key to empty water
from the pump reservoir. During normal operation, the
pump purges automatically every six minutes, or
whenever the reservoir is full. The display will read
PUMP PURGING with a numeral countdown. To purge
the pump manually:
1. Turn the power off using the OFF key, and let the unit
sit plugged in for about 10 minutes. This allows water to
drip from the coils and collect in the drip pan.
2. Press PURGE to remove residual water.
Defrost mode
During normal operation, the temperature sensor detects
frost forming on the coils, causing a defrost cycle to
start. The display will read DEFROST ON.
Dehumidification stops during the defrost cycle. When
the unit completes the cycle, the display returns to
DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Error messages
If the 1200’s onboard diagnostics discover a problem,
the unit will display “GET SERVICE,” followed by "ER”
and a numeral from 01 to 09. If this message appears,
first follow these steps:
1. Unplug the unit and then plug it back in. This may re-
set the electronics.
2. If the error message reappears, try the solution (if one
is listed) in the “Error Messages,” p. 4.
3. If the error message still appears, please contact the
Dri-Eaz Service Department at 800-932-3030.
At the end of the job
As with all dehumidifiers, once the drying job is
completed, it is important to make sure the unit is
completely purged of water before moving it.
To ensure
that all water has drained into the pump, turn the
unit off, allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then press the
PURGE button.
(The unit must be plugged in for the
purge to operate.) Once the purge cycle is complete,
unplug the unit and remove it promptly from the job.
Before transporting, be sure to remove the external drain
hose and drain it carefully.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.
Unplug
the 1200 before performing any maintenance.
