Clean the water tank
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and
bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent.
Swish it around and then empty the tank and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a
dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank must be
reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why
doesn’t
the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is
low? This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above
15
⁰
C. If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the
humidistat the unit will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for
outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or garages please check our
desiccant range.
Why doesn’t the unit work /or stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully
place the tank back in the unit. Also the unit may be running in dehumidifying
mode with a low room temperature. Please check, if the room temperature is
lower than 5
⁰
C. If so, the unit will stop working while in dehumidifying mode (unit
may be defrosting).
The ambient operating range is between 5
⁰
C and 35
⁰
C with a relative humidity
ranging from
30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 15
⁰
C and
32
⁰
C.
Sometimes cold and/or hot air comes out from the air outlet grill, why?
The dehumidifier uses refrigerant gas to dehumidify. This reduces the ambient
temperature by up to 5°C to produce condensation. Before the air is returned to the
room, it is warmed slightly above the ambient air temperature so not to send cold air
into the room. When the unit is in defrost mode, it will be warming up the
condensation coils and melt any ice build-up. The air during this function might feel
cooler than the ambient temperature.
