START OPERATION
1. Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and
heat-resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or
heatsensitive within 39 in. Operating the product in any other
position could cause a hazard.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifier is
suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same
voltage as that shown on its rating label.
3. Make sure the water tank is correctly located. After switching on
the machine for the fi rst time, if the “Bucket Full” light illuminates,
pull out the water tank and check that the “float” lever is able to
move freely, then return the water tank to the correct position (Fig. 1).
DEFROST
When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 64.4°F), the surface of the
evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the ef fi ciency of the machine.
When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in
temperatures down to 41°F.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 room temperature remains below 41°F the
machine should be switched off.
DEHUMIDIFYING
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
2) Press the humidity button to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%).
FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identi fi ed by
the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection mode.
BUCKET FULL LIGHT
• 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 outward from the front of the unit and it should be emptied.
When the empty tank is replaced properly in the machine, the unit
will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.
WATER FULL INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light
turns on and remains on until such time that the tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned.
This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor
and fan motor operations are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water tank is emptied
and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidi fi er will resume operation automatically.
NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING
Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the
electronic circuit board automatically defaults to the following factory setting:
Humidity Setting: 60% Fan Speed: Low
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the unit will default to the last program setting that was used
when power is restored.
WATER TANK OPERATION
Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidi fi er operation. The
water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both
the water level and operation of the dehumidi fi cation process. When the water tank is full and/or
with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan
motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.

AIR FILTER
This dehumidi fi er features a removable air fi lter. This fi lter is located
at the back of the unit (behind the air intake grille) directly above the
water tank compartment. A blocked / clogged air filter reduces air
intake,impacting negatively on operating ef fi ciency.

glow to remind you to clean the filte r. Remove the filter and clean it.
Press to turn off the light. See "AIR FILTER CLEANING
STEPS".
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:
1) Pull the air fi lter out gently (Fig.3).
2) Clean the fi lter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean water
and dry with a dry cloth.
3) Put the clean air fi lter back in place and continue to operate the
dehumidi fi er.
