OPERATION
The following procedures should be followed to test the BD-150 for correct operation:
1. After unpacking, examine all external features to confirm damage-free shipment.
Report all defects and damage at once. Connect the power cable to a grounded 15
Amp electrical outlet. Connect a 12.5 mm inside diameter hose to the condensate
outlet pipe (positioned centrally, beneath the air inlet grille). Secure the hose using a
worm drive clip. The hose should at no point be raised higher than the outlet pipe.
Failure to observe this requirement will result in flooding of the dehumidifier.
2.
Check dehumidification process as follows:
CAUTION:
DO NOT REMOVE COVERS WHEN UNIT IS IN
OPERATION.
A. Place unit on a level surface.
B. Press the start button, DO NOT hold in this button for more than 1 second. The
unit will run.
C. Check that air is being delivered through the front outlet grille and the
compressor is running.
D. After 15/20 minutes an even coating of ice should cover the evaporator coil
(temperature below 68°F), droplets of condensate water should cover the evaporator
coil (temperature above 68°F)
E.
After 45 m/- 5 minutes, the dehumidifier will operate in the defrost mode
and the evaporator coil will clear of any ice. After 4 m/- 1 minute, the
dehumidifier unit will again operate in the dehumidifier mode.
F.
Allow the dehumidifier unit to run for a further 15/20 minutes and observe the
frosting/droplets on the evaporator coil.
If, after carrying out the above procedures, the unit does not appear to function properly, refer to
the
Trouble Shooting
section, which follows, or contact the Factory Service Center.
CAUTION:
Once the unit has been switched off, wait at least five
minutes before restarting.
