4. CONTROL AND DISPLAY PANEL
The Control Panel is always placed on the upper side of the machine and consists of 4 light
indicators:
POWER
(Supply):
red light
which turns on when the electric power arrives at the machine;
FULL
(ALARM):
green light
which turns on when the water tank is full, or when the lifting
pump is not working properly and then it fills up the water tank. When this light is on, the
machine will stop running.
DEFROST
:
red light
turns on when the compressor is in ‘pause or idle’ position for the
programmed delayed start.
WORKING
(RUNNING):
red light
on when the humidistat starts up automatically.
HUMIDISTAT
Normally placed on the front or rear side of the machine.
It consists of a number scale ranging from 1 to 5 or from 1 to 7. The minimum value
corresponds to 80%, the highest value to 20%; the intermediate value (3-4) indicates that the
humidity is at approx. 55%, a suggested good general value.
In the position “CONT”, the machine will keep running all the time, independently from the
relative humidity in the room.
In
the “OFF” position, the machine is not running.
HOUR COUNTER
Some models are equipped with an Hour Counter which is
normally located in the rear side of the machine: this will
show the hours the machine has been working
.
.
5. INITIAL STARTING OF MACHINE
Before starting the dehumidifier, make sure that the machine has been standing in vertical position for at-least 8 hours. If
one fails to observe this procedure, irreparable
damage may be caused
to the compressor. Then one can proceed and
connect the dehumidifier plug to a 220-240V - one phase power socket.
The red light 'POWER' will switch on confirming correct supply of power to the machine. If the light 'WORKING' is still
off, turn knob on the control panel clockwise un
til the light 'WORKING’ is ON. The light 'DEFROST (PAUSE) will also
switch on and, after about 5 minutes the dehumidifier
will start dehumidifying.
When the red light is “ON” (ALARM), the machine will not start: one must check that the water tank is empty and that it is
inserted correctly. With machines that have a pump, check that the pump function is working and that the delivery pump
is clear.
AND IF THE DEHUMIDIFIER DOES NOT START OR DEHUMIDIFY
…
First make sure the red light 'POWER' is 'ON': If the power supply light is not on, make sure that the connecting plug is
properly inserted into the power socket. After checking all this, if the power light is still off, call your dealer for assistance.
Make sure that the green light 'FULL' is off. If this is not the case, check the correct position of the draining pipe (see
point 4.)
Make sure that the red light 'RUNNING' is 'on'; this means that the humidistat activates the functioning of the machine.
When the dehumidifier is set again to functioning, (after an idle period of 5 minutes) due to it reaching the preset humidity
or after emptying the water tank. During the 5 minutes long pause, only the fan motor is running and the compressor is
off. This operating cycle also takes place every 45 minutes to allow defrosting to occur. If the red light 'Pause' remains
off for a period longer than 6 minutes, you should contact your dealer.
When the two central red lights are on and the machine appears to be working correctly, but it is not producing
condensed water, it should be checked. If the relative humidity in the room is lower than 40.45%; if the relative humidity
is higher than that, contact your dealer for advice
