outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or soft brush to clean. Wipe the
dehumidifier body with a soft damp cloth or kitchen towel.
Remove the ABS frame and pull out the filters from the frame. Hoover gently the optional
carbon once every 2-3 weeks approximately.
If the mesh filter is dirty hoover it, if it is heavily soiled wash it with warm soapy water and dry
thoroughly before reinserting it in the unit.
When filter cleaning is finished and filters are dry placed them back into the filter frame and
reassemble the unit.
NOTE:
While the carbon filter is optional never run the unit without the mesh filter frame being
assembled back.
2. 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 than 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.
End of Season Maintenance:
1. Empty and clean the water tank.
2. Clean the unit and the filters as per cleaning procedure above.
3. Coil the power cord on the special cord storage rest at the back of the unit
4. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
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
o
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
o
C. If so, the unit will stop
working while in dehumidifying mode. (unit may be defrosting).
The ambient operating range is between 5
o
C and 35
o
C with a relative humidity ranging from
30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 15
o
C and 32
o
C.
Sometimes cold and/or hot air comes out from the air outlet grill, why?
When the unit is in dehumidifying mode it absorbs humid air from room and freezes it to reduce
the humidity.
During the cold cycle there should be cold air coming out of the unit
During the hot cycle hot dry air should be coming out of the outlet grill.
