Frequently Asked Questions - SDH12L13E Sandstrøm

How do I empty the water tank when it's full?

When the WATER FULL indicator illuminates and the unit beeps 10 times, turn off the unit, remove the water tank, empty it, then refit the tank and restart.

What does the WATER FULL indicator mean?

It means the water tank is full. The unit will automatically stop operating. Empty the tank to resume normal operation.

How do I set the timer?

Press the TIMER button repeatedly to select 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours for auto shut-off.

Can I use continuous drainage?

Yes. Attach a 12mm water hose to the drain outlet, extend it to a floor drain, and ensure the hose is lower than the outlet for proper drainage.

Why is the dehumidifying function not working?

Check that the water tank is not full, clean the air filter, and ensure the air inlet and outlet are not blocked.

Why is the unit making excessive noise?

Place the unit on a stable, flat surface. Also clean the air filter to reduce noise from restricted airflow.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 2 weeks. In dusty environments, clean more frequently. Remove the filter by pressing the cover tabs, wash, dry thoroughly, and reinstall.

Can I use this dehumidifier in a bathroom?

No, the unit is designed for indoor domestic use only and should not be used in bathrooms or shower rooms to avoid electrical hazards.

How do I use the drying clothes mode?

Press the HUMIDITY button to select CONTINUE (highest setting). Place the unit near wet clothes, but not directly under them to prevent water dripping onto the unit.

What is auto-defrost and when does it activate?

Auto-defrost activates when ambient temperature is low (≤0°C or ≥40°C). The unit automatically enters defrost mode to melt frost buildup; the DEFROST indicator illuminates.

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.
