DRY (Dehumidifier) Operating Instructions
NOTE: During dehumidifier mode, the
exhaust hoses do not have to be vented out-
doors but should remain attached to the
unit. The drain hose must be installed
during dehumidifying mode, (see ‘Direct
Drain Instructions’ on pg. 5).
1) Press the
I/O
(on/off) key pad to switch on
the unit.
2) Press the
MODE
key until the
DRY
symbol
(Dehumidifying) appears in the display window.
Each depression of the
MODE
key will advance
to a different mode setting
(Auto-Cool-Dry-Fan)
.
3) Press the appropriate
(TEMP / TIMER ADJ)
key
to select a relative humidity setting between 35%
~ 90% RH (adjustable in increments of 5%)
For continuous (non-stop) dehumidifier operation:
Press the (TEMP / TIMER ADJ) key pad until the
symbol “
- -
“ appears in the display window.
NOTE:
The compressor will not cycle off during
“continuous” mode.
The set relative humidity level will flash in the
display window for approximately 5 seconds then
automatically revert back to display room ambient
relative humidity conditions. NOTE: The set
operating RH level must be programmed within the
5 second (flashing) condition. To view the “set”
relative humidity program any time, press either of
the TEMP/TIMER ADJ buttons.
NOTE: There is no fan speed adjustment during
dehumidifying mode (the fan speed is factory
set for “low”).
The
blue (RUN)
indicator light illuminates indicating
dehumidifying mode is operational (there may be a
slight delay of 10-30 seconds before the cycle
begins, this is normal).
IMPORTANT:
The relative humidity setting selected
should always be set a few degrees lower than the
room ambient relative humidity conditions, to ensure
normal dehumidifying operation. NOTE:
it is not
recommended to operate your Dehumidifier
below temperatures of 15.5°C (60°F)
as this could
result in icing-up conditions of the evaporator coils,
and minimize efficiency.
4) During ‘Dry’ mode when the internal reservoir is
full, the unit will alarm (
beep) for 20 seconds
and the water full red
indicator light
will
illuminate
and
the water full
icon
in the control
panel
will begin to flash continuously . At this
time dehumidification will stop immediately.
However, the fan motor will continue to operate
(this is normal).
To return to normal operation:
1.
Switch the unit off;
2.
Place a pan with a 1.9L (4 pts.) capacity
beneath the lowest drain ports located on
the
bottom rear of the unit (see
Fig. D1, pg. 5)
;
3.
Open the drains by unscrewing their drain
caps;
4.
Wait until all the water inside the internal
reservoir is emptied, then reattach the drain
caps;
5.
Properly dispose of the water in the pan;
6.
Switch the unit on.
It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to
re-start. This is normal.
