Maintenance
continued
If you are not going to be using the unit for an extended period of time,
follow the instructions below before storing your unit:
1.
Turn the unit off, unplug and wait 24 hours before emptying the
water bucket to allow for excess moisture to drain into the bucket.
2.
Drain all water from the water tank.
3.
Clean the air filter, water tank and unit.
4.
Unplug and carefully wind the power cord.
5.
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
6.
Store the unit in an upright position in a dry, well-ventilated place.
When the unit is operated in temperatures below 54°F the surface of the
evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which will reduce the
efficiency and effectiveness of the dehumidifier. When this occurs, the
unit will automatically activate its auto-defrost feature. The time required
to complete the auto-defrost cycle varies and is dependent on the
ambient temperature and relative humidity of the operating environment.
The auto-defrost indicator located on the control panel will light up when
the auto-defrost feature is running.
Note: Do not operate this dehumidifier in temperatures below 41°F
Energy Saving Guide
Read and follow the below energy saving tips to get the best
performance and efficiency from your portable dehumidifier:
Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.
Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes - to ensure they do
not obstruct the air intake.
Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
Close all windows and doors.
Indoor relative humidity should ideally be kept between 35 and 60
percent depending on the ambient temperature.
Make sure the unit is on a level surface.
To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before
turning the unit back on after shutting it off.
Inspect and keep the pre-filter clean by cleaning regularly.
