OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

     

 

1.  Ensure the plug on the dehumidifier is inserted fully into a working power socket.   
 
2.  It is important to ensure that the water tank is correctly positioned within the unit and that it is not full of water.  If the 

“Bucket Full” indicator is illuminated when the unit is plugged in for the first time, pull the water tank out of the unit 
slightly and push it back into it’s proper position. 

 

3.  Turn the control knob to the desired humidity level (this is usually the position marked “NORMAL” and is equivalent 

to between 50% and 60% R.H.).  

4.  If the surrounding humidity level in the room is higher than the level set on the machine, the machine will start up 

and the green machine running LED will illuminate. Any moisture in the air drawn through the machine by the fan 
will form as water droplets on the condenser within the machine.  These water droplets will eventually collect in the 
water tank in the front of the machine.  The rate at which the water is collected in the tank is dependant on a 
number of factors, such as the room temperature, the size of the room and the source of the humidity.  It is a known 
fact that at low room temperatures the extraction rate is also low. 

5.  When the machine brings the humidity level in the room down to the level set on the machine, it will switch off. 

6.  If the control knob is left in the set position, the machine will continue to cycle on and off, keeping the surrounding 

humidity level close to the level set on the machine. 

 

7.  If the control knob is turned to the “CONTINUE” position, the machine will run continuously.                     

 

8.  When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the “Bucket Full” light will illuminate.  The water tank should be 

carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outwards from the front of the machine and it should be emptied.  
When the empty tank is replaced properly into the machine, the machine will start up and run normally. 

 

Note:  When the “Bucket Full” light is on after the machine has been running for 
some time, the water should be emptied out from the tank.   If the tank is not 
emptied and replace correctly in the unit, the appliance will not operate.

  

 

9. 

DEFROSTING

  

       When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 12°C) the surface of the evaporator may accumulate 

a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine.   
When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode automatically.  The defrost LED on the front of 
the machine will illuminate. The time taken to defrost may vary. 
The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C. If the machine freezes up it should be turned off at the 
power supply and re-started.  If the surrounding temperature remains below 5°C the machine should be switched 
off.   

 
 

CONTINUOUS DRAINING OPTION

 

 

When the dehumidifier is used in a situation where it is neither desirable nor convenient to keep having to empty the 
water tank, there is a facility to enable the unit to be continuously drained.  This will allow the unit to be run continually 
without the need to periodically empty the water tank.  To use the continuous draining facility, the following procedure 
should be used. 
 

1.  It is necessary to obtain a length of flexible PVC hose having a bore (internal) diameter of 13mm.  The length of 

the hose should be sufficient to reach a suitable drain or a water container in which the water may be collected. 

2.  The water tank on the machine must be empty and fitted correctly in position on the machine. 
3.  Remove the domed knob on the rear of the machine that screws over the continuous drainage outlet, by rotating 

it anti-clockwise. 

4.  Remove the rubber bung from the drainage outlet and keep in a safe place. 
5.  Push one end of the drainage hose (as detailed in 1 above) firmly onto the end of the drainage outlet. 
6.  Place the other end of the drainage hose into a suitable container (or into a drain), ensuring that no part of the 

hose is higher than the drainage outlet on the machine.  Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the hose. 

7.  When reverting back to tank draining on the machine, remove the drain hose from the outlet, replace the rubber 

bung into the drain outlet and replace the domed knob on the drain outlet by screwing it in place in a clockwise 
direction.
