Operating Instructions
INDICATOR LIGHT FUNCTIONS
TIMER FUNCTIONS
Follow these steps to program the Auto-on or Auto-off feature using the control panel:
Auto-off:
1. When the unit is on, and the TIMER button is pressed, the timer off indicator light illuminates to indicate that the auto-
off program is initiated.
2. Press or hold the UP or DOWN button to change the ‘Auto’ time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours (then at 1 hour
increments up to 24 hours). The unit control will count down the time remaining until start.
3. Within 5 seconds of setting auto-off time, press the TIMER button again to complete the auto-off program.
Auto-on:
4. When the unit is off, and the TIMER button is pressed, the auto-on program is initiated. Set the auto-on time as in step
2 above. Within 5 seconds of setting auto-on time, press the TIMER button again to complete the auto-on program.
NOTE:
When the auto-on and auto-off times are set, within the same program sequence, TIMER ON OFF indicator lights
illuminate indicating that both ON and OFF times are now programmed.
NOTE:
Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time, changing the on/off timer setting to 0.0, and a P2 error code will cancel the
Auto-on/off functions.
WATER TANK 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 accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the
fl
oat switch actuator (inside the tank)
breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor
system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
Note: On some models, the fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes after the unit has stopped and
the bucket has been removed. As a result, water may drip from the tray onto the base of the unit, and then onto
the fl oor. Please ensure that you protect your wood and carpet from such leakage.
IMPORTANT
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) fl oat switch system. Proper installation
of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.

AS
- Humidity sensor error -- Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
ES
- Temperature sensor error -- Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
P2
- Bucket is full or the bucket is not in correct position -- Empty the bucket and/or adjust it to the proper position.
EC
- Please ensure that the room ambient temperature matches the recommended operating temperature for the unit,
5°C (41°F) - 35°C (95°F). If the temperature is within this range, call for service.
ERROR CODES
Note: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifi er may not start automatically
when the “on/off” button is pressed (see dehumidifying mode instructions for details).
Memory 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 last program setting that was used. After the unit has stopped, it may take sev-
eral minutes before operating conditions resume.
Auto-restart:
If the unit shuts off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previous function settings
automatically when the power resumes.
Bucket Full Indicator Light:
When the bucket is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the bucket full light
will turn on and remain on until the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the imme-
diate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety
feature. When the bucket 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.
Auto-defrost:
When frost builds on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until
the frost disappears.
