Frequently Asked Questions - ADD12 DAITSU

How to install the Daitsu ADD12 dehumidifier?

Place the unit on a flat and stable surface, at least 30 cm from walls. Plug the power cord into a 220-230 V socket. Open the air vent before use. Make sure the water tank is properly inserted.

How to empty the water tank?

When the tank full indicator lights up, gently press on the sides of the tank and pull it out. Empty the water and firmly replace the tank until it clicks. Wait 30 minutes after stopping before removing the tank to avoid residual water spills.

What to do if the tank full indicator lights up even though the tank is empty?

Check that the tank is properly positioned. If the problem persists, clean the float and the bubble wrap inside the tank. Do not remove the bubble wrap as it helps detect the water level.

How to use the laundry mode?

Press the '1/0' button until the laundry indicator lights up. This mode activates high airflow for fast drying of laundry. Place the unit at a reasonable distance from the laundry and avoid water dripping onto the unit. This mode is also the only usable mode if the temperature is below 15°C or above 35°C.

How to clean the air filter?

Remove the filter by pressing the tabs. Gently vacuum the surface. If the filter is very dirty, wash it with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, rinse and dry completely before putting it back. Cleaning is recommended every two weeks.

Can I use a hose for continuous drainage?

Yes, the unit is equipped with an opening for continuous drainage. Use a hose with an inner diameter of 15 mm. Cut the pre-cut opening on the side of the unit, insert the hose firmly and ensure the drain line is sloped downward. Regularly check that the hose is not clogged.

What to do if the unit does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is properly connected. If the tank full indicator flashes, empty the tank and replace it. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 2°C and 38°C. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

The unit makes an unusual noise, is that normal?

A refrigerant noise at startup or when changing modes is normal until the circulation stabilizes. If the unit is used in a small room or on a wooden floor, an echo may occur. If the noise persists, contact customer service.

What is the operating temperature range?

The dehumidifier operates between 2°C and 38°C. Outside this range, the unit may not work properly and the protection device activates. Use only laundry mode if the temperature is below 15°C or above 35°C.

How to store the dehumidifier for a long period?

Unplug the unit, wrap the power cord and secure it to the holder. Empty and dry the water tank. Clean the air filter. Pack the unit to protect it from dust and store it upright in a cool, dry place.

Structure and Principle

Features

SPECIFICATIONS
Powerful dehumidifying capability	Excellent drying laundry function
● Taking advantage of refrigeration principle, the dehumidifier powerfully removes partial moisture from air to drop the humidity of the room and keep indoor air dry and comfortable.	● The dehumidifier dries laundry quickly. This can prevent laundry and furniture from becoming damp and musty in a rainy season.
Quiet operation	Drainage tank with a large capacity
● When the dehumidifier operates in QUIET mode, the value of its noise is so low and makes your room quiet.	● The drainage tank capacity is large to 6 liters; this will reduce the times of your discarding water.
Using refrigerant for protecting environment	Saving energy
● The dehumidifier uses the no CFC refrigerant for protecting environment to reduce to pollute environment.	● The power consumption is low.

The dehumidification capacity is the value obtained after the dehumidifier was continuously run in the room temperature of 30^ with the relative humidity 80% .
The amount of dehumidification is the amount per day (24 hours.)
- If specifications are changed without notice for further improvement, they are data on nameplate of the unit.
- The work temperature is in the range 2^ to 38^ . If the room temperature is beyond the range, the unit can not operate normally.

- How dehumidifying works

If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around the cup is cooled, and drops of water form on the surface of the cup. The dehumidifier takes advantage of this phenomenon to remove moisture.

It draws in room air, cools it with a cooling unit, and changes the humidity to drops of water.
The drops of water fall into a drainage tank.
The dehumidified air is re-heated by a heating unit and discharged.

Steps ①,② and ③ are repeated to remove humidity from the room.

After the air passes through the re-heating unit, its temperature will rise a little, so that the temperature of the room will rise appreciably. This is normal phenomenon.

Operation

Operation steps

1. Plug the power supply plug into the outlet and press the "1/0" switch

2. Open the louver by hand

• Use single phase 220~230V AC power supply.
• Wipe dust off of the power supply plug and insert the plug firmly, all the way to the rubber section, if there is a dust on the plug, or the plug is not fully inserted in the outlet, electrical shock and/or fire may result.

• Never scratch, cut, or damage the power supply cord.
  After the power supply plug is plugged into the outlet, " lamp will light.

• Before operation runs, please check and make sure the louver has been opened, or it will result in the temperature of the unit too high and cause accident. (There are 6 levels to be chosen.)

Operation

3. Switch the operation mode

• Press the "1/0" switch, the unit operates in CONTINUOUS mode automatically.
• DEHUMIDIFY mode: Press "O" switch until the "B" lamp lights. Operation is continue with the amount of discharged air at the middle level.
• Modo SECAR COLADA: Press "O" switch until the "F". lamps lights, Operation is continue with the amount of discharged air at the high level. This is appropriate for enhanced dehumidifying, drying clothes or other items (when the indoor temperature is below 15^ or above 35^ , the protection device is actuated, the unit only can operate in LAUNDRY mode and pressing "O" switch is ineffective.
• QUIET mode: Press "O" switch until the "63" lamp lights. Operation is continue with the amount of discharged air at the low level. This suppresses operation noise when dehumidifying (Under the condition of high temperature and high humidity, please avoid operating the unit in QUIET mode, as this can decrease the life of the unit.)

4. Stop operation

When the "1/0" switch is pressed during the unit runs:

• Dehumidifying stops.
• Never stop the unit by unplugging the power supply cord.

Operation

Draining the water

The drainage tank is full

If the drainage tank becomes full (approx. 5.5 liters), the "Lamp lights to alert the user, operation stops automatically. Empty the water from the drainage tank and discard it.

Drainage steps

1. Remove the drainage tank Lightly pressing on the sides of the tank with both hands, pull it gently out.

Take hold of the handle, and then remove the tank.

Notation for drainage

• Do not remove the bubble packing from the float on the unit. The float on the unit will no longer be able to detect without the bubble packing when the water level is full, and water may leak from the water tank onto household furniture. This can cause electrical shock and/or short-circuiting.

• If the drainage tank is dirty, wash it with cold or lukewarm water. Do not use detergent, scouring pads, chemically treated dustcloths, gasoline, benzene, thinner, or other solvents to clean it, as these can scratch and damage the tank and cause water to leak.

2. Discard the water Guard Drain water from this point 3. Place back the drainage tank

● When place back the drainage tank, press the tank firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not positioned properly, the “Tank Full” sensor will be activated, and the dehumidifier will not operate. Check to make sure the guards are firmly attached to the tank. If they are not, the drainage tank will be harder to remove. ● If the drainage tank is removed while the unit is in operation, or immediately after operation has stopped, water which is still in the cooling unit may drip out on the base plate. Wait at least 30 minutes before removing the drainage tank. (If water has dripped, wipe it up.)

Operation

Draining the water

Continuous drainage of water

The unit has a continuous drainage port. Using a commercial hose (with an inner diameter of 15mm ), the water in the drainage tank can be continuously drained out of the continuous port of the unit. When setting up the equipment for continuous drainage, always stop operation first and unplug the power supply plug.

1. Disconnect the drainage tank and open the continuous drainage port. Use nippers or a similar tool to cut away the continuous drainage port in the side of the main unit.

2. Push the hose into the continuous drainage port. Pass a commercial hose (with an inner diameter of 15mm) through the continuous drainage port, and press it firmly into the drainage port in the main unit, make sure water does not leak. The level height of drain piping should always be not higher than the one of the drainage port, also drain piping should always be not plugged up, so the condensed water can be drained out successfully.

3. Return the drainage tank to its original position. Check the hose periodically to make sure it is still connected and has not been obstructed.
