The Powerpac has a filter to remove dust from the air and also protect the unit. This requires cleaning and
we recommend that the filter be inspected and cleaned every 4 weeks. Failure to do so will reduce the
efficiency of your Powerpac.
Remove the filter by lifting the filter door release catch the filter door will then open
giving access to the filter material. Clean the dust from the filter material by using a
vacuum cleaner on a low power setting, or replace the filter material.
Refit the filter material and close the filter door ensuring the catch locks into position.

When the container is full a red light on the control panel will be lit continuously and
water collection will cease. The water container can be removed by lifting from the top
of the unit and emptied. Replace the container ensuring it is fully in position or the red
light will stay illuminated and the unit will not restart.
Note – the container can be emptied at any time. The unit will switch off automatically
when the container is removed.

Air filter removal and cleaning
The Powerpac has a water filter to collect any build up of particles in the drain tray and to protect the pump
from damage, this should be cleaned .
The water filter which is located at the rear of the unit below the air filter can be
removed by hand or by using a small tool (e.g. a screwdriver). This removal should take
place over a suitable container as up to 100ml of water may be released. The filter can
then be rinsed in clean water before being pushed back into place to avoid any
water leakage.

4. To increase the amount of water extraction the fan speed can be set to high using the fan button.
Note:
A pump within this dehumidifier will prime itself when water is pumped for the first time after an
hour or so – this will create a buzz for a few seconds. Subsequent operation of the pump will be inaudible.
Max
The Max setting should be used if signs of excess moisture are visible and is shown by 3 raindrops lit
solidly on the control panel (this is the default mode for the unit). To access this mode from ‘Smart’ mode
press the ‘Max’ button.
Smart
The Smart Control System is shown on the control panel by raindrops lighting in sequence, and should be
used when signs of excess moisture are no longer visible. Smart mode will automatically determine the
optimum on – off times to work at maximum effectiveness. If signs of excess moisture re-appear and
your Powerpac does not appear to be controlling them the Boost feature can be used.
Boost
The Boost control will override the fan speed setting and sets the unit into Max setting for 2,4 or 8 hours,
to maximize water extraction, after this time the unit returns to its previous settings.
Fan
The Powerpac has been specifically designed to perform well with the fan set to the quiet setting. However
you may wish to increase the performance by setting the fan to the highest setting if required.
