Switch the appliance on at the mains socket. Then press the power
ON/OFF button to turn the unit ON. The appliance will wait for 3 minutes
whilst the refrigerant settles before starting to operate, this is to extend the
life of the compressor.
•
Using the + and - buttons, set the required humidity level on the display.
The level can be set between 30% and 80% in 1% increments. The
appliance will remove humidity from the air whenever the humidity level is
higher that the set level.
•
After a delay of 5 seconds, the display changes to showing the present
room humidity level.
•
To select continuous operation, keep pressing the - button until the
display reaches 30%, and then press the - button once more. The display
will show
CO
and it will continuously remove humidity from the air
regardless of the humidity level. Press the + button to stop continuous
operation.
•
Take particular care if selecting continuous operation and when
continuous drainage is being used. It will lead to a reduction of humidity
levels; which, if the humidity becomes too low, may lead to the cracking of
delicate wooden items.
•
If operating at an ambient temperature below 10 °C, the internal heat
exchanger will drop below 0 °C, causing ice to form. If this happens, the
appliance will automatically defrost: when this happens the DEFROST
indicator will illuminate. When defrosting is complete the indicator will
extinguish and the dehumidification process will resume.
•
Unplug the appliance from the mains when not in use. (Do not
disconnect whilst still operating, press the ON/OFF button to switch off the
appliance first)
•
Check the appliance regularly for damage and cease using it
immediately if any damage to the product, the cable or the mains plug is
found.
•
The appliance operates best if it is in an enclosed area. Close all doors
and windows, and eliminate sources of additional humidity, such as
cooking, clothes drying. Cover fish tanks.
•
The most comfortable setting for the humidity level is around 50%.
