OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Set unit upright
Always operate the dehumidifier in an upright position. If
the unit has been stored or transported in a horizontal
position, set it upright (in a vertical position) for at least
30 minutes before operating it. This will allow for any
compressor oil that has flowed into the refrigerant coils
to return to the compressor and allow the dehumidifier to
function properly.
Set up drain hose
The LGR1800 pump connects to a plastic drainage
hose. The hose can be stored on the hose wrap, located
on the back of the unit (see Fig. A). You can release the
hose by rotating the top reel of the hose wrap down;
simply pull outward until you’re able to rotate it (see Fig.
C). Rotate the tab to the right or left until it is pointing
straight down. This feature makes it easy to take off the
entire hose quickly. Place the unattached hose end in a
sink, drain, bucket –even outside; anywhere that water
can drain out safely.
NOTE:
Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose.
Do not leave any of part of the hose coiled on the
unit and do not place the end of the hose higher
than 4.5 m (15 ft.) above the top of the unit. Also
check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict
the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water
backup in the pump resulting in leakage.
Plug in electrical cord
The electrical cord is wrapped around the top of the unit.
The LGR1800 will operate on any standard 230-volt
Residual Current Device (RCD) protected outlet.
If the unit experiences a loss of power, either from a
power interruption or from thermal overload protection,
let the unit rest for five minutes before restarting.
Otherwise it might shut off again.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the LGR1800 has a display and a
touchpad with four keys. Press the
ON/OFF to turn
the unit on.
How to use the control panel
The control panel on the LGR1800 has a display and a
touchpad with four keys.
ON/OFF
. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the unit on or
off. When the machine turns on, the display normally
reads PLEASE WAIT COMP. DELAY and performs a
numeral count down from a maximum of 60 seconds
to 0. This delay allows time for refrigerant pressures to
equalise for easier starting. If you don’t see a
compressor delay countdown, a delay is not necessary
and the machine will begin operation immediately. Once
the unit completes the compressor delay, the display
shows UNIT ON XX HRS and cycles between
INLET TEMP XX°C and INLET RH XX%.
DISPLAY MENU
. Press the DISPLAY MENU key to
cycle through the display of additional dehumidifier
conditions and User Settings. To return to the main
menu, press the ON/OFF button once.
MENU SELECTION
. Press the MENU SELECTION
key to change the values on the "User Defined" settings.
The MENU SELECTON key acts as the UP key for

. Press the PURGE key to manually empty
water from the condensate pump reservoir. NOTICE:
Always press the purge key prior to moving the unit.
