IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

-          Keep power supply cord out of the way, where it cannot be  stepped on or tripped over.

-          Do not use flammable agents to clean the unit,  they could damage the plastic and start a fire.

-          Place unit on a flat, stable surface.

-          Never place laundry to dry on the dehumidifier, the clothes rack should be set at least 50cm away from the unit.

-          Do not insert any objects into the air outlet, it would damage the unit.

-          When the dehumidifier is operating one window can be half-open but DO NOT open any more windows or doors.

-          Do not place the unit near heating devices or in direct sunlight.

-          Always keep the unit upright while moving it or when it is stored.

-          Leave the dehumidifier to stand for two hours before connecting to the mains supply after transport or if it has been tilted.

HOW IT WORKS

DO YOU KNOW THAT DRY AIR IS WARMING UP FASTER THAN DAMP AIR ?

DEHUMIDIFIERS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS AND ROOMS WITH HUMIDITY PROBLEMS: THIS IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LOCATED.

As soon as your dehumidifier is “ON” it starts protecting you and your residence from the ill effects of humidity.

The dehumidifier controls humidity by forcing excess moisture to condense from the air into the unit as it passes over the cooling elements. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank.

The dried air then passes through a coil where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature: YOU SAVE ENERGY!

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

Plug the power cord into a 230 V ~  50Hz grounded wall outlet, then turn the humidistat knob clockwise to start the dehumidifier.

Your dehumidifier will start functioning.

 

CAUTION : This dehumidifier cannot be used at a room temperature below 5°C.

 

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Your dehumidifier is fitted with an automatic defrost system. When ambient temperature decreases to 15°C or less,  the humidity sensitive coils will be covered with frost. Automatic Defrost will start when needed : the warning light will  light up while defrosting take place. Once the defrosting process is over, the “Defrost” warning light will go off.

 

 

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

Disconnect the unit from the wall socket before removing the water tank.

When the water tank is full (or has not been positioned correctly), the unit will shut off automatically and the warning light  will light up : the water tank needs to be emptied. Pull out the water tank from the unit, after emptying the water tank carefully replace it into the dehumidifier. When the water tank is properly positioned the “FULL” light will go out.  The dehumidifier is operational.

The water tank must be properly positioned and fully inserted in its cavity (to activate the overflow protection switch.

 

 

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

PLEASE NOTE : BOTH THE WATER TANK AND THE CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE CANNOT BE USED AT THE SAME TIME.

 

Switch off and disconnect the unit from the wall socket before proceeding.

You must empty the water tank on a regular basis.

The water can be drained continuously by attaching a direct drain hose to the unit.

(hose available at your local Hardware Store).

This is useful if your dehumidifier is located in a high humidity environment or in premises which are infrequently used.

 

Installing a direct drain :

1.       Use a tool to remove the plastic tab at the rear of the dehumidifier.

2.       Remove the water tank.

3.       Insert a water tube inside the hole (rear) of the dehumidifier.

4.       Attach the hose to the unit drain connection (over the reservoir)

5.       Replace the reservoir.

PLEASE NOTE : the dehumidifier will not function if the reservoir is not relocated in its cavity.

The other hose extremity can be directed to a floor drain. The hose must be made of rigid material it should not bend. The hose must be below the continuous drain connector.

Be careful not to let the hose extremity get into the drain water.

 

PLEASE NOTE :  when operating the dehumidifier in cool conditions, you must ensure that the hose cannot freeze.

 

MAINTENANCE

Switch off and disconnect the unit before cleaning.

 

CLEANING THE UNIT

Always switch off and disconnect the dehumidifier from the wall socket before cleaning. Wipe the  unit shell with a soft clean cloth and mild soap. Do not use detergents or abrasives which could damage the plastic.

 

CLEANING THE FILTER

Switch off and disconnect the dehumidifier.

The filter is located behind the water tank (see figure 1)

1.       Remove the water tank.

2.       Remove the filter

3.       Vacuum the filter taking care of not damaging it.

4.       Replace filter

5.      Replace reservoir

STORAGE

PLEASE NOTE :

Excessive dampness will quickly be reduced from the air. However if the location where the unit is operating is extremely damp, you will need a few days or even   weeks before you start obtain a comfortable humidity rate.

Condensation on a cold surface is NORMAL. The dehumidifier reduces the air humidity rate and you should notice less condensation on cold windows.

 

IMPORTANT

It is necessary to wait 2 to 3 minutes before restarting the unit when it has been shut off. This allows the refrigeration system to stabilize.
