Operating Instructions
Before operating ensure that the dehumidifier is situated on a stable, flat surface with the back of the dehumidifier a
minimum of 20 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. Turn the control dial to the suitable humidity level. This is usually the ‘NORMAL’ setting.
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.
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 12°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 light will illuminate. 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.
When using the continuous drainage feature the hose must be placed below the drainage outlet with no knots or
kinks.
Cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Wipe the outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth. You may use
a mild detergent if necessary. Dry with a cloth. Do not use any harsh abrasives or solvents. Never immerse this
appliance in water or any other liquid.
The air filters should also be cleaned regularly. To remove the intake filter remove the water tank and tip the
appliance towards the rear at a 15°C angle. The fil ter is located behind the front grille and should be pulled down to
remove. Clean the filter and replace. You may use warm water if the filter is particularly dirty.
