8. The moisture extracted from the surrounding air, is collected in the water tank at the front of the unit. 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.
9. 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, the appliance will not operate.
10.
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. The defrost symbol on the LCD display will
come on. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C. The time taken to defrost may vary.
If the machine freezes up it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the 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.
