Frequently Asked Questions - AriaDry Pump DD30P DELONGHI

How do I set the desired humidity level?

Press the Humidistat button repeatedly to cycle through settings from 30% to 80% relative humidity. The target is displayed on the screen.

Can I use the dehumidifier without the tank for continuous drainage?

Yes, you can connect a hose to the continuous drainage outlet. The built-in pump allows drainage up to 4.5m vertically. Ensure the hose is secured and slopes downward.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the washable pre-filter every 30 days under normal use. Use a vacuum or rinse with water and let dry completely before reinstalling.

What does the 'Pump' indicator mean?

The Pump indicator lights up when the internal pump is operating to drain water. If it flashes, check for a blocked hose or kink.

Why is the dehumidifier not collecting water?

Ensure the room humidity is above the set threshold. Check that the filter is clean, the tank is properly seated, and the ambient temperature is above 5°C.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended. If necessary, use a heavy-duty cord rated for at least 10A and keep it as short as possible to avoid voltage drop.

How do I activate the continuous mode?

Press the Mode button until the 'Continuous' icon appears. In this mode, the dehumidifier runs regardless of humidity level until the tank is full or the pump drains continuously.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The dehumidifier operates best between 5°C and 35°C. At higher temperatures, efficiency decreases. It has an automatic defrost feature for low temperatures.

How do I reset the filter cleaning reminder?

After cleaning the filter, press and hold the Filter Reset button (usually labeled) for 3 seconds until the indicator turns off.

What should I do if the dehumidifier makes unusual noise?

Check that it is on a level surface, the filter is clean, and nothing is obstructing the fan. If noise persists, contact DeLonghi support for service.

Some Notions on Humidity

Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This determines the level of humidity in an atmosphere.

The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with temperature.

This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc.

The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding the damage

caused by condensation.

Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity.

With very low temperatures, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.

This considerably increases the dehumidifying power of the appliance.

With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapour on windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the dehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier is usually warmer than room temperature.

For efficient ventilation a space of about 5-10 cm should be left at the back of the appliance.

The condensate can be drained in three ways:

A) Draining into the tank

The condensate can be drained directly into the tank.

The tank can be easily removed (fig.1).

When the tank is full, remove and empty into a sink or bath, then put back correctly.

Please note: The tank must be positioned correctly. An intermittent beep means the tank is not correctly positioned.

fig. 1

B) Continuous external draining

If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are unable to empty the tank regularly, you are recommended to use the continuous drain facility.

1) Remove the protective cap 1 by turning it anticlockwise then remove the rubber cap 2 from the spout (fig. 2).

fig. 2

2) Insert the protective cap 1 on the condensate drain hose (8) as far as it will go (fig. 3), then screw the protective cap back onto the spout (fig. 4).

3) Make sure the end of the hose is no higher than the spout (fig. 5) or water could remain in the tank. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.

i Please note: Keep the rubber cap to close the spout when the continuous drain function is not in use.

C) Continuous drain with pump (certain models only)

Thanks to the exclusive condensate drain system, the hose (9) can be used to drain condensate with a difference in level of up to 4 m between the end of the hose and the outlet.

For pump assisted drainage, connect the hose provided (9) to the connection on the bottom of the appliance (fig. 6). Select the dehumidifying function and press the pump button.

Please note: If the condensate hose is not in place and the pump is enabled, the message PUMP will flash. To eliminate the problem:

Cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the appliance using a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Do not use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Do not spray liquid insecticide or similar products as they may deform the plastic.

Cleaning the air filter

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases.

It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals.

The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.

If the unit is used constantly or frequently, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week.

• Remove the air filter by pulling downwards (Fig. 7).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter. If the filter is very dirty, rinse well in warm water. The temperature of the water must not exceed 40°C. After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it.

If the appliance is not used for long periods

• After unplugging the appliance from the power socket, empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the filter.
• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag to protect it from dust.
