FOR CORRECT FUNCTIONING

• IMPORTANT: Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface.

• Close the doors and windows of the room in which the appliance is to be used.

• The temperature in the room in which the appliance is to be used must be between 5ºC and 35ºC. If the temperature exceeds these limits the compressor will stop working.

• If the ambient temperature is lower than 5º C, the absolute humidity will be very low and it will therefore not be necessary to use the dehumidifier.

• When the appliance stops, wait around 5 minutes before starting it up again.

Indicator lights A. Power on indicator light (green) B. Water tank full indicator light (red) Glows when the watertank is ready to be emptied, or when the watertank is removed or not replaced in the proper position. NOTE: The water level control switch shuts off the dehumidifier when the watertank is full, or when the watertank is removed or not replaced in the proper position. When the setting humidity is reached, the unit will be shut off automatically. Wait 3 minutes before resuming operation After the unit has stopped, it can not be restart operation in the first 3 minutes. This is to protect the unit. Operation will automatically start after 3 minutes. When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. C. Continuous operation on indicator light (green) D. Display Shows the set % humidity level while setting, then shows the actual (±5 % accuracy) room % humidity level. Error codes: E1. Humidity sensor error—Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service. E2. Temperature sensor error—Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service Protect codes: P1. Unit is defrosting—Allow the unit to automatically defrost. The protect will clear after the unit self defrosts. P2. Water tank is full or watertank is not in the right position—Empty the water tank and replace in the right position
