Frequently Asked Questions - GDDE-EVDRI16E DIMPLEX

How do I set the humidity level?

Press the humidity setting button to cycle through options: continuous operation, 40%, 50%, 60%, or 70% relative humidity. The selected level will be indicated by the corresponding indicator light.

Why is the dehumidifier not turning on?

Check if the unit is plugged in, the power switch is on, the room temperature is within 5-32°C, and the water tank is properly inserted and not full. If the full tank indicator is red, empty and reinsert the tank correctly.

How do I use the continuous drainage feature?

Remove the water tank. Connect a drain tube (inner diameter 11 mm, not supplied) to the drain spout connection. Ensure the tube drains freely downward. Replace the tank. In cold weather, prevent the tube from freezing.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the plastic dust filter every two weeks with a vacuum or rinse with warm water. Let it dry completely before reinserting. The active carbon filter is not washable and should be replaced when dirty or discolored.

Can I use the dehumidifier in a bathroom?

No. The manual explicitly warns against using this appliance in a bathroom or near a bath, shower, or swimming pool due to safety risks.

What does the 'Full Water Tank' indicator mean?

When the water tank is full, the indicator lights red and the compressor stops automatically. Empty the tank and reinsert it correctly. If the light stays red, ensure the tank is seated properly.

How does the timer function work?

Press the TIMER button to set a shut-off time (1-24 hours). The display shows the set hours. To pre-set a delayed start, press TIMER without turning on the unit. For example, setting '2' will start the unit after 2 hours.

What is the difference between DRYER and AIR CLEAN modes?

DRYER mode uses high-speed ventilation to continuously remove moisture, ideal for drying laundry. AIR CLEAN mode (on selected models) operates the fan only without dehumidification, useful for circulating air or removing odors.

My dehumidifier is noisy. What should I do?

Ensure the unit is on a level, firm surface. The compressor noise is normal, but if excessive, check for any obstructions or if the unit is tilted. If the noise persists, contact customer service.

How do I store the dehumidifier when not in use?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Empty and clean the water tank thoroughly, wiping it dry. Cover the unit and store it upright away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure may discolor the plastic.

How It Works

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements. Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature.

Where To Position

Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point. Alternatively, move the dehumidifier from room to room for more targeted dehumidifying.

When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 30 cm (12") of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow.

This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the water tank emptied. We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket.

When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed for most effective and efficient operation.

   • To turn off the unit, press ON/OFF button again.

Drainage

While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection and the water full indicator light will turn red.

To remove the water tank, pull it out squarely from the unit.

After emptying the water tank, place the water tank carefully back into its space. The tank must be properly located in order for the 'water full' light to go out and for your dehumidifier to start operating again.

Please note, if the water tank has not been positioned/located correctly, the water full indicator will stay red and the product will not operate.

Continuous drainage

When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent emptying. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage, this can be done as follows;

1. Pull out the water tank.
2. Connect a water drain tube of inner diameter 11 mm to the drain spout connection outlet at the top of the tank location area.
   * Please note, the water tube is not supplied with the unit.
3. Ensure the drain tube is fixed properly and that water will always drain away freely through the tube (the drain point/open end of the tube must be at a lower height than the drain outlet from the product).
   Note! In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freezing.
4. Put the water tank back to its position.
