Frequently Asked Questions - SDH20L13E Sandstrøm

How do I set the desired humidity level?

Press the HUMIDITY button repeatedly to cycle through 40%, 60%, 80%, and CONTINUE (continuous dehumidification). The unit will maintain the selected humidity level automatically.

How do I use the timer function?

Press the TIMER button to select 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. The unit will automatically shut off after the set time.

What should I do when the WATER FULL indicator lights up?

The water tank is full. Turn off the unit, remove the tank, empty it, and reinstall it. Then turn the unit back on. The unit will beep 10 times and stop operating when the tank is full.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. In dusty conditions, clean more frequently. Remove the filter by pressing the two tabs on the cover, pull it out, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and reinstall.

Can I use the dehumidifier to dry clothes?

Yes. Set the humidity to CONTINUE (highest setting), place the unit near wet clothes, and allow the dry air to blow toward them. Do not place the unit directly under wet clothes to avoid water dripping onto the unit.

How do I set up continuous drainage?

Attach a water hose (12 mm diameter, not included) to the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is lower than the outlet and leads to a suitable drain. Remove the hose when not in use.

Why is the DEFROST indicator on?

The DEFROST indicator illuminates when the ambient temperature is ≤0°C or ≥40°C. The unit will automatically enter defrost mode to remove frost buildup. It will resume normal operation after defrosting.

What does the RUN indicator mean?

The RUN indicator lights up when the compressor is shut down, typically due to compressor protection. Wait 3 minutes before restarting the unit.

Where should I place the dehumidifier?

Place it on a stable, level floor with at least 300 mm clearance around the unit. Keep away from radiators, direct sunlight, and flammable materials. Do not use in bathrooms or shower rooms.

What if the unit is making excessive noise?

Ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface. Clean the air filter if dusty. Check that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. If noise persists, refer to the manual.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Maintenance of your air filter

The air filter located inside the air inlet of the unit collects dust contained in the air. The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the unit. To prevent the dust from clogging up the unit always use it with the air filter in place.

Always clean the air filter every 2 weeks. If the unit operates in a dusty atmosphere clean the air filter more often.

- To remove the filter, push the cover's 2 tabs toward each other and pull towards you. Then repeat this action to remove the filter.

- Before refitting the filter ensure it is thoroughly dry. Do not bend the filter and make sure it is fitted correctly. Replace the filter cover before operating the unit.
