Keep power supply cord out of the way, where it cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Do not use flammable agents to clean the unit, they could damage the plastic and start a fire. Before starting the unit, please be sure the main supply is conform to the specification shown on the rating plate at the back of the unit. Always keep the unit in vertical position. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Never place laundry to dry on the dehumidifier, the clothes rack should be set at least 50cm away from the unit. Do not insert any objects into the air outlet, it would damage the unit. When the dehumidifier is operating one window can be half-open but DO NOT open any more windows or doors. Do not place the unit near heating devices or in direct sunlight. Always keep the unit upright while moving it or when it is stored. Always unplug the unit & empty the water tank before moving it. Never pour or spray water over the unit. Do not use this unit at ambient temperatures below 5°C. Leave the dehumidifier to stand for two hours before connecting to the mains supply after transport or if it has been tilted.. If the power cord is damaged, it must be changed by a qualified electrician or the manufacturer to avoid any danger.

HOW IT WORKS

DO YOU KNOW THAT DRY AIR IS WARNING UP FASTER THAN DAMP AIR? DEHUMIDIFIERS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS AND ROOMS WITH HUMIDITY PROBLEMS: THIS IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LOCATED. As soon as your dehumidifier is « ON » it starts protecting you and your residence from the ill effects of humidity. The dried air then passes through a coil where it is slightly warmed end re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature: YOU SAVE ENERGY! FRONT

Handle for water tank

Handle for the unit Air outlet Drain hole for continuous drainage Moisty air Compressor Water tank The dehumidifier controls humidity by forcing excess moisture to condense from the air into the unit as it passes over the cooling elements. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank.

10. Power cord

1) This unit is with humidistat. Please set the humidistat

(humidity controller) to required humidity level (the intensity of humidity extraction in increased clockwise). For continuous working, set the humidistat to position “MAX”.

2) To turn off the unit, turn the humidistat to OFF position.

Operating instructions Plug the power cord into a 230 V~ 50 Hz grounded wall outlet, then turn the humidistat knob clockwise to start the dehumidifier. Your dehumidifier will start functioning. CAUTION: This dehumidifier cannot be used at a room temperature below 5°C. Your dehumidifier is fitted with an automatic defrost system. When ambient temperature decreases to 10°C, the humidity sensitive coils will be covered with frost. In this case, defrost would be ON and compressor OFF, but the fan is still working. Disconnect the unit from the wall socket before removing the water tank. While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for selfprotection and the water full indicator will turn into red. To move the water tank, pull it out squarely from the unit by using the handle at the water tank. After emptying the water tank, place the water tank into space. Make sure it is properly positioned, in order for the water full sign to go out and your dehumidifier is operating. Please note in this case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator will turn into red. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE PLEASE NOTE: BOTH THE WATER TANK AND THE CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE CANNOT BE USED AT THE SAME TIME. When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures: Switch off and disconnect the unit from the wall socket before proceeding. You must empty the water tank on a regular basis. The water can be drained continuously by attaching a direct drain hose to the unit (not included with the unit) Installing a direct drain:

1. Pull out the stopper from the drain hole at the rear of

the machine (FIG.1) and connect the drain hole with a water tube of inner diameter 12 mm (FIG.2) NOTE: The water tube is not supplied with the unit.

Pull out the water tank. Use the stopper taken from the hole to stick into drain hole B (FIG.3). 2 Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in right place. Note in very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freeing. 3 Put the water tank back to its position (FIG.4) The other hose extremity can be directed to a floor drain. The hose must be made of rigid material it should not bend. The hose must be below the continuous drain connector. Be careful not to let the hose extremity get into the drain water. PLEASE NOTE : when operating the dehumidifier in cool conditions, you must ensure that the hose cannot freeze. Switch off and disconnect the dehumidifier. The filter is located behind the water tank (see figure)

1. Remove the water tank

2. Remove the filter

3. Vacuum the filter taking care of not damaging it.

4. Replace filter & water tank.

If the filter is particularly dirty, use warm water. Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing. Do not expose the filter to sunlight. MAINTENANCE Switch off and disconnect the unit before cleaning.

CLEANING THE UNIT

Always switch off and disconnect the dehumidifier from the wall socket before cleaning. Wipe the unit shell with a soft clean cloth and mild soap. Do not use detergents or abrasives which could damage the plastic.

CLEANING THE FILTER

STORAGE If not use the unit for an extended period of time: - Please turn the unit off, unplug it. - Completely empty the water tank & wipe it clean. - Cover the unit & store where it will not receive direct sunlight. Pack your unit and the user manual in its original box and store in a cool, well ventilated place. TROUBLE-SHOOTING TROUBLE Compressor & fan do not run. Fan runs but not compressor. PROBABLE CAUSE No power or incorrect voltage Faulty plug. Short circuit Defrosting in progress Allow 3 mn for delayed start. Ambient temperature too low Evaporator covered with frost. Overflowing or Check with an electrician. Check with an electrician. Wait for end of cycle Normal, will start after 3 minutes. Install unit on a hard level surface Compressor or motor are lost. Check with SAV Dirty filter Refrigerant leaking. Ambient temperature too low- No humidity to remove Filter too dirty. Ambient temperature too low. Water tank leak Faulty full tank auto switch Check with SAV PLEASE NOTE Excessive dampness will quickly be reduced from the air. However if the location where the unit is operating is extremely damp, you will need a few days or even weeks before you start obtain a comfortable humidity rate. Condensation on a cold surface is NORMAL. The dehumidifier reduces the air humidity rate and you should notice less condensation on cold windows. IMPORTANT: IT IS NECESSARY TO WAIT 2 TO 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT WHEN IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. THIS ALLOWS THE REFRIFERATION SYSTEM TO STABILIZE. No or insufficient dehumidification. SOLUTION leaking water tank Normal :refrigerant is flowing through the coils.. Clean filter. Check with SAV Check temperature & humidity of the room.
