Frequently Asked Questions - PLQ 10M PUR LINE

How to start the dehumidifier?

Plug the appliance into a 230 V grounded socket, then turn the on/off knob to the right. The compressor starts. Set the desired humidity level with the humidistat.

How to empty the water tank?

Unplug the appliance, remove the tank by pulling it towards you, empty it, then replace it correctly until the 'tank full' indicator turns off.

How to use permanent drainage?

Remove the cap from the rear opening, connect a 12 mm diameter hose (not supplied) and place the end in a drain. Make sure the tank is properly reinstalled, otherwise the appliance will not operate.

Why is the appliance not dehumidifying enough?

Check that the filter is not clogged (clean it), that the ambient temperature is above 5°C, that doors and windows are closed, and that the tank is properly in place. A 3-minute delay may be necessary after a stop.

What to do in case of frost on the evaporator?

The automatic defrost activates if the ambient temperature is below about 10°C. The compressor stops, the fan continues. The appliance resumes normal operation when the temperature rises.

How to clean the filter?

Turn off and unplug the appliance, remove the tank, then the filter. Vacuum it or wash it with warm water. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it back.

The appliance makes a liquid flowing noise, is this normal?

Yes, it is the refrigerant circulating in the coils. It is perfectly normal for this type of appliance.

Can I use the appliance below 5°C?

No, the appliance should not be used at a temperature below 5°C. This could damage the compressor and reduce efficiency.

How to transport or store the appliance?

Unplug it, empty the tank, and store it in an upright position. If possible, put it back in its original packaging, protected from dust, in a cool and ventilated place.

What to do if the tank full light stays on after emptying?

Make sure the tank is correctly inserted and that the overfill switch lever is in contact. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

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 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.

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

1. Control panel
2. Air inlet
3. Filter (inside the unit)
4. Water tank
5. Caster
6. Handle for water tank
7. Handle for the unit

REAR

1. Air outlet
2. Drain hole for continuous drainage
3. Power cord

CONTROL PANEL

11- Water full indicator
12-Operation indicator
13- On/Off button + humidistat.

Operating instructions

Plug the power cord into a 230V 50Hz 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^ .

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.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Your dehumidifier is fitted with an automatic defrost system. When ambient temperature decreases to 10^ , 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.

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

FIG.4

Disconnect the unit from the wall socket before removing the water tank.

While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection 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 12mm (FIG.2)

NOTE: The water tube is not supplied with the unit.

1 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.

FIG. 3

FIG.4

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
