Frequently Asked Questions - Dry 12 DH1W-12 WILFA

How do I set the desired humidity level?

Press the Humidity button repeatedly to select a level between 30% and 80% relative humidity. The display will show the set value.

What should I do when the water tank is full?

The unit will stop automatically and the Full Tank indicator will light up. Empty the tank and reinstall it to resume operation.

Can I use a continuous drainage hose?

Yes. Remove the plug from the continuous drain outlet at the back of the unit, attach a hose (inner diameter 12 mm, not included), and route it to a drain.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the filter every two weeks to ensure efficient operation. Remove the filter, wash it with warm water and mild detergent, let it dry completely before reinserting.

Why does the dehumidifier blow warm air?

The dehumidifier uses a compressor that produces heat during operation. This is normal. The warm air helps dry the room slightly.

What is the ideal operating temperature?

The unit operates best between 5°C and 35°C. Below 12°C, performance may decrease and the auto defrost function will activate.

How do I use the timer function?

Press the Timer button repeatedly to set the desired off time from 1 to 24 hours. The timer indicator will light up.

Can I leave the dehumidifier running unattended?

Yes, the unit has auto shut-off features for full tank and overheating. However, always ensure the area is well-ventilated and the power cord is in good condition.

What does the auto defrost function do?

When the ambient temperature is too low, ice may form on the coils. The auto defrost function will automatically cycle the compressor off to melt the ice, then resume normal operation.

How do I clean the water tank?

Remove the tank and wash it with warm water and a mild detergent every few weeks. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

R290

This device contains the highly flammable R290.

THE REFRIGERANT

• To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in the system. The used refrigerant is the fluoride R290, which is specially cleaned.
• The refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. Furthermore, it can lead to explosion under certain conditions.
• Compared to common refrigerants, R290 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no harm to the ozonosphere. The influence upon the greenhouse effect is also lower. R290 has got very good thermodynamic features which lead to a high energy efficiency. The units therefore need a less filling.
• Please refer to the nameplate for the charging quantity of R290.

WARNING

• Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.
• Appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 4m2.

• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources. (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.)

• The appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.

• The appliance shall be stored to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
• Ducts connected to an appliance shall not contain an ignition source.
• Keep any required ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting processorto clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Servicings shall be performed only as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Should repair be necessary, contact your nearest authorized Service Centre.
• Any repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
• Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.

USE

LOCATION

Place the unit on a firm, level surface in an area with at least 30cm of free space around to allow proper air circulation.

Never install the unit where it could be subject to:

• Heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products that produce heat.
• In an area where oil or water may be splashed.
• Direct sunlight.
• Mechanical vibration or shock.
• Excessive dust.
• Lack of ventilation, such as cabinet or bookcase. Install the unit in rooms larger than 4m2.

EN

Do not install the unit in places where inflammable gas may leak.

Operate the unit in temperature between 5^ C and 35^ C.

Do not use outdoors. It is intended for indoor residential applications only.

Do not operate near walls, curtains or other objects that may block inlet and outlet.

Keep the air inlet/outlet free of obstacles.

If tipped more than 45^ , allow the unit to stand in upright position at least 24 hours before starting up.

Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings of the room to improve the working effect.

Avoid direct sunlight.

It is normal for the air outlet to feel warm after continuous usage on hot days.

Empty the water tank before moving the device.

Make sure the water tank is correctly placed, otherwise it will not operate properly.

The unit starts up in the mode selected when the unit was last used.

The unit starts dehumidifying if the room humidity is 3% higher than the selected humidity.

There is a protective 3-minute delay of the compressor. Wait 3 minutes for the dehumidifier to resume dehumidification.

EN

DRAINAGE

There is two ways to remove water in the unit.

1. Manual draining: Empty the water tank manually when it is full.
2. Continuous draining: Attach a hose and use gravity to drain the water.

MANUAL DRAINING

Once the water tank is full, the unit will pause. After emptying the water tank, install the water tank correctly, and the unit will start up again.

• When the water tank is full, the unit will make a sound, and the "water tank full"-indicator will light up.
• Carefully slide the water tank out and empty it.
• Clean inside and outside of the water tank.
• Place the water tank into the unit.
• If the "water tank full"-indicator is still on, check that the foam float is correctly in place.

CONTINUOUS WATER DRAINAGE

For continuous draining, connect the drain hose to the unit.

• Place the unit on a stable and horizontal surface.
• Switch the unit off before attaching the hose.
• Securely and properly connect the hose to the unit, and make sure the hose is not bent or kinked, it may stop the water flow.
• Place the outlet of the hose over a drain or a bucket and ensure that water can freely flow out of the unit.
• Do not submerge the end of the hose into water: it can cause air lock in the hose.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER

The filter collects dust which restricts the airflow. Restricted airflow reduces efficiency of the unit, and if it becomes blocked it may cause damage to the unit.

• Remove the filter.
• Rinse the filter in running warm water or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
• After cleaning the filter, make sure it is dry before placing it back on the unit.

EN

STORAGE

If you are not using the unit for an extended period (more than a 3 weeks), clean and dry it completely.

1. Switch off the unit and unplug it.
2. Empty the water tank and let it dry. If it is connected to the drain hose, check that it is empty, disconnect it and make sure it is dry.
3. Remove the filter and clean with warm water. Let it dry before reinstalling it.
4. The unit must be stored in upright position.
5. Store it in a ventilated and dry space indoors free of any corrosive gases.

The evaporator inside the unit must be completely dry before storing. This is to avoid component damage and moulds. Unplug the unit and place it in a dry and open area for days to dry it out. Another way to dry it is to set the humidity point more than 5% higher than the ambient humidity to force the fan to dry the evaporator for a couple of hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Functioning temperature 5°C -35°C.

When the temperature is lower or higher than the functioning temperature, the unit stops.

When the temperature is between 5^ C and 16^ C the compressor automatically defrosts at intervals. During defrosting the compressor stops and the fan keeps running.
