Operating Instructions
Before operating ensure that the dehumidifier is situated on a stable, flat surface with the back of the dehumidifier a
minimum of 30 cm from the wall. Windows must be closed in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
1. Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet.
2. Make sure that the water tank is in the correct position. If the ‘Tank Full’ indicator illuminates, remove the
tank and replace it in the correct position.
3. Set the desired humidity by pressing the up or down arrow buttons on the control panel until the desired
level is displayed on the LCD screen. This process must be repeated each time the appliance is started.
If the humidity in the room is above the level set the dehumidifier will begin start operating. When the humidity in
the room reaches the level set the dehumidifier will stop operating.
If the humidity in the room rises above the level set the dehumidifier will automatically start working again.
PLEASE NOTE: If when you switch on your dehumidifier and set your required level of humidity the unit does not
begin operating, it is likely that the current humidity in the room is already below this level. The dehumidifier will
begin operating once the humidity rises above the level set. The current room humidity will be displayed in the top
left hand corner of the LCD screen.
Using the Timer Function
On start up the appliance will run continuously. To set the run-time of the appliance press the Timer button until the
desired number of hours is displayed on the LCD screen. Release the Timer button. The display will flash for 5-10
seconds. The run time is now set.
Water Tank Full
When the water tank is full the dehumidifier will stop operating. Remove the water tank careful with both hands and
discard the water. Replace the water tank in the correct position. The dehumidifier will automatically begin
operating again.
Defrost
When operating in temperatures less than 18°C the s urface of the evaporator will accumulate frost and effect the
efficiency of the dehumidifier. When this happens that machine will go into periodic defrost mode automatically and
the indicator will be displayed on the LCD screen. Do not use the dehumidifier in temperatures less than 5°C.
Should the dehumidifier freeze-up switch off the appliance, allow the temperature to rise and then restart.
Continuous Drainage
It is possible to operate this appliance with ‘Continuous Drainage’ by fitting a 13 mm diameter hose into the
appliance.
•
Remove the water tank from the unit and remove the cap from the drainage outlet.
•
Insert the hose and attach to the drainage outlet on the appliance.
•
Replace the water tank in the correct position.
•
Feed the hose to a suitable drainage point.
When using the continuous drainage feature the hose must be placed below the drainage outlet with no knots or
kinks.
