OPERATIONS
Non-timed dehumidifying operation to
the desired humidity level
When the timer is not set, the unit
dehumidifies toward the humidity set point
and automatically goes to the standby mode
when the set point is achieved. After the
ambient humidity increases more than 3%, the
dehumidifying function operates again. The
machine will continue working in this pattern
until it is manually powered off.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Due to the 3-minute on/off delay design to
protect the working components (
see On/
Off Delay, page 7
), the humidity reading
may go up more than 3% while the machine
remains in the standby mode since it is within
the 3-minute delay protection period. This
usually happens in the condition that the
ambient humidity is high. It is not a machine
malfunction.
Timed dehumidifying operation to the
desired humidity level
When the timer is set, the machine will
operate according to the humidity set point
(
see page 5, step 2
), only after the Timing On
time and before the Timing Off time. Before
the Timing On time and after the Timing
Off time, the machine is in standby mode.
Unless the power supply cord is unplugged,
the machine remembers all set points in the
standby mode and will automatically operate
according to the timer setup every day.
You can manually override the timer function
to start or stop the dehumidifying function
by pressing the
POWER
button. The machine
resumes to the timer mode in the next 24-hour
cycle.
Automatic Defrost
The unit will automatically go into defrost
mode when frost forms on the evaporator coil.
The screen shows “
Defrost
.” After 15 minutes
of defrost time the unit will resume operation.
When in the defrost mode, the unit does not
dehumidify.
Continuously dehumidify operation
When the machine is in continuous operation,
the desired humidity set point is still
remembered but is deactivated. The machine
will continuously dehumidify, no matter what
the humidity set point is, until it is manually
powered off or timed off.
